I am a skeptic by nature but the amount of data they’re asking for is no more than what was already publicly available about me online. So my own personal risk assessment was low. As an FYI I requested my info dump from Verizon and they track all sorts of random data points - my estimated household income, hobbies, etc.!
If they asked for ssn, mother’s maiden name, and my third grade teachers name upon signup, ok yeah I’d pass. But it was no more than a google of my name and city/state already returns from these data brokers.
I find the skepticism here a little amusing considering the amount of data we share without even thinking about it - stuff that’s way more identifying and sensitive than your name and current city/state.
