That's actually pretty simple. Equifax is the biggest provider of these types Q&A's. I'm not even sure that the company itself is exposed to the actual answers - I believe the credit bureau just responds with a pass/fail. Admittedly, it would be less creepy and more welcoming if they sent you to the Equifax website to do the verification. That way you would know that no one else actually has or will receive your pers…

They did have a blurb that said this was all "public information", but if I pop my name and car into $search_engine (for example) nothing relevant comes up.
