Do you have the right in your jurisdiction to request the data that data brokers have collected on you? If yes, and you haven't already, you may be surprised to the extent they have been able to track you in spite of your counter-measures.
I used CCPA to get this data from brokers. I am far more careful than most in my attempts to keep from being tracked, but perhaps not as careful as you. The dossiers contained data that went back to when I was 7 years old. The most surprising item was data that could only have come from a print shop (from fake joke business cards printed there, but never handed out).
- lrvick 4y agoI am in California and am currently shopping for deep-dive CCPA enforcement services as that is a lot more work than not creating the data in the first place. Friends have used https://privacyduck.com https://privacyduck.com with success.
- sillystuff 4y agoI've just been working my way through various lists. It frustrates me greatly that the public is expected to do go through this effort to "opt out" rather than the sleazy stalker companies being required to get opt in. https://oag.ca.gov/data-brokers https://oag.ca.gov/data-brokers https://web.archive.org/web/20201022024035/https://www.stopdatamining.me/opt-out-list/ https://web.archive.org/web/20201022024035/https://www.stopd... list of credit reporting agencies to freeze reports with: https://www.consumerlawfirm.com/credit-reporting-agencies.htm https://www.consumerlawfirm.com/credit-reporting-agencies.ht...
- lrvick 4y agoThere are 100+ agencies you need to file with, and you need to follow up several times as your data can be re-syndicated between them during grace periods. It is -lot- of work which is why efficient services who've optimized this are likely worth the money.
