In Europe there is a requirement that entities with data about individuals make it available to them if they request it.

He typed his name into Google to take a quick survey of how the internet sees him, like a glance in the mirror. There were two LinkedIn hits, three White Pages listings, a post he made last year to a Meetup forum for Italian-Americans in the Salt Lake City area.
