California residents, here's the data deletion form: https://consumer.risk.lexisnexis.com/request#california https://consumer.risk.lexisnexis.com/request#california
- vineyardmike 3y agoIs there any downsides to deleting or opting out? Eg if you opt out of credit agencies then you have trouble getting credit cards and loans.
- JohnFen 3y agoI don't think that it's meaningfully possible to opt out or delete, so this is a purely academic question.
- vineyardmike 3y agoYou can factually opt out AND delete the data if you’re a California resident - as specified by the above link.
- JohnFen 3y agoNot to a great enough degree, though. Just try opting out of the major data collectors, such as LN or credit rating agencies, and see how that goes. Also, it does nothing for people who aren't in California. California's law is much better than nothing, but it's not as good as the GDPR and the GDPR isn't really adequate.
- dalrympm 3y agoThanks for this. Sadly, but not surprisingly, it is broken with the following error: "A system error has occurred and we are not able to process your request. Please try again later."
- teachrdan 3y agoI got that same message (twice!), but got a confirmation email a few minutes later.
- meragrin_ 3y agoThis is likely largely useless unless they have significant private sources of data. Publicly available data is exempt from deletion. https://oag.ca.gov/privacy/ccpa#heading5d https://oag.ca.gov/privacy/ccpa#heading5d
- bubblethink 3y agoThis form asks for your address, ssn, etc. I'm wary of giving this type of a company more information than they may already have. It's like those opt out email links where you need to enter your email address. Are you opting in or opting out ?
