Discover Personal Addresses

A personal address (also known as Postal Address) is a collection of information used for describing the location of a building, apartment, or other, generally using political boundaries and street names as references. Some addresses also contain special codes to aid routing of mail and packages, such as a ZIP code or post code.

Identity Finder finds personal addresses to help prevent data loss. Identity Finder first starts with deep, deep data analysis. When Identity Finder comes across data that could potentially be a match, it applies proprietary validation techniques our data experts have developed after extensive data analysis to determine whether the data is likely to be a Personal Address. These algorithms are updated every month with new information to increase accuracy.

Beyond deep data analysis, Identity Finder also performs contextual analysis to increase the accuracy of returning relevant information. By performing contextual analysis, Identity Finder can ascertain whether the data is being referred to in a way that would also indicate it is relevant to an end user. Finally, Identity Finder puts all of this power into the hands of the user. Although the software supports defaults that have been configured by our data analytic experts, users may tune the sensitivity of the search and cater it to the unique data set they are searching within their own internal environment.
