Disclaimer: I’m not affiliated with any of these companies, just a guy trying to get his data removed online.
My last post on here I asked for advice on how to remove my information or just straight up not use my physical home address and instead maybe a p.o box. After all the feedback I got, I decided that it wasn’t going to be possible. Also, it might not even be the bank that leaked my information but my government. Doesn’t matter too much to me but it got leaked in the first place. As I looked at my data online I noticed that every one of my family member also had their info leaked, so it very well could be the government voting and dmv databases needing to have public records.
So knowing this, that every citizen needed to have their info leaked online, what can I do about it? So there’s pretty much one option, opt out and request data removals. Now I’m too lazy to go through the sites and request opt outs for each of them. So I decided to look at paid services that do this. So far I had DeleteMe, Incogni, Optery, Norton Privacy Assist, StackSocial, PrivacyBee, EasyOptOuts, etc.
Who did I choose?
After a lengthy time of searching, I chose EasyOptOuts
TLDR; They’re $20 a year, do removals 4 times a year and they wiped my info in less than 24hrs so it’s worth every penny to me.
I wrote more about them in my blog post if you guys want to learn more.
I was shocked when I saw they were $20. Pretty damn effective too. Highly recommend to give a try. They don’t ask for ID or anything so you’re not giving up anything that’s already out there.
All the other sites I looked into like Kanary had a bunch of trackers. Easyoptouts was the least bloated I have ever seen. No trackers at all. I actually filled out information and tried to click submit but it wouldn’t let me because I had JavaScript disabled.
