What is your threat model? Whom you are hiding from and what will happen when the info leaks?
If you are the generally paranoid though, never publish photos from around your home, never make online purchases with home delivery, but choose midpoints like post stations to collect them.
Assume that if you type your info somewhere, it would be sold and will pop up somewhere. Currently my name, home address, and phone are published in a american data broker website. If I want them removed, I need to send them an id with even more personal data and even then they insist that it will be hidden from public view, not deleted. I need a lawyer if I want the situation delt with properly.
- cardamomo 6y agoI haven't looked into data brokers yet. (Not tonight's problem!) How did you go about verifying what data of yours they have?
- gostsamo 6y agoI just googled my name one day. It is unusual enough to have a limited number of results and this website popped up with my name, home address and phone. They must've slurped from some dodgy website where I've shopped or the like, not sure. In case that you have too much results on your name, you can add keywords like "home", "home address", "phone number", and the like. Additionally, you can add the exact values, but those will be visible for the search engine, and maybe for someone who is smart enough to go through all queries in google trends that include your name.
