I have been upset recently by a colleague googling me and found my full name on several 3D Printing sites I used to use. I guess I signed in with my google account and so it just pops up now that I’ve deleted all my socials.
I have a fairly uncommon first + last combo so the cursory google search and then sending “delete my data” emails from the email they know from the 3 data brokers who popped up seems good and now just my linkedin is showing (this is the ideal state).
Is there more I’m missing? should I go for a deleteme subscription in case I missed anything? Other sources I should go to?
I really don’t mind sending my own emails to these pests, but is that really all the services are doing? Or is there a backend I’m missing?
I’ve been using them for a couple years now and, so far, only one vendor has rejected their card. I pay for their service, so I don’t have any limits and their cash back program usually pays for the monthly fee.
I rarely use my actual CC anymore, and now they integrate with Apple Wallet, I will probably stop needing my bank card altogether.
I love being able to visualize all my subscriptions in one place and be able to turn them off whenever I want. That alone is worth the price.
Cool! Maybe I should give them another shot. I definitely like the idea.
