On the page that opens, find the information about the person you are looking for. As you can see, they are inserted in special sections: I suggest you leave those present in the boxes Public Records & Background Checks, Arrest Records & Driving Infractions e email Addresses, because this is information available to people living in the United States and not to click on the links in them because they simply refer to PeekYou partner services.
Instead, I suggest you carefully examine the links in the sections Facebook, Twitter, Instagram e Pictures because, as you may have already guessed, they present the links attached to the social profiles to which the person you are "investigating" may have registered. Keep in mind that there may be cases of homonymy and, for this reason, it is not certain that the links to the social profiles identified all belong to the person of your interest. Understood?
