The Control Group (Now PeopleConnect)
Technology, Information and InternetCalifornia, United States11-50 Employees
The company now known as PeopleConnect traces its origins to a collaboration between two organizations that specialized in collecting and managing information about people, and it operates as a digital identity company serving consumers. By combining assets from Classmates, Intelius, TruthFinder, and Instant Checkmate, it provides a broad set of identity data and related insights about individuals. Its objective is to bring more transparency to an industry that has often been perceived as opaque, by offering consumer-focused access to people information. Headquartered in San Diego, California, the business sits within the technology, information and internet sector. Its customers are individuals seeking information about others, and it presents itself as a leading and reputable source in the people-search space. A notable recent development is a 2024 partnership with Konnected Lives to support a safer online dating environment.
