Installed on my M1 Mac. So it's an automated way to ask them to delete your account. If you have ongoing business with the company this is the only recourse the app offers you (perhaps it's by jurisdiction - I'm in CA).
Useful, but I'd love a way to tell these companies to stop assembling a profile of me without my consent instead (ideally as a threat).
Also would be useful if the app could suggest less invasive alternatives in the same market. Perhaps an idea for v2.

- verdverm 3y agoWhat does your question have to do with the thread?
- lazide 3y agoYou mean the thread specifically about the App and its abilities? That we are in? Are you lost?
- verdverm 3y agoI think you know what I meant by thread and you are just being obstinate because you seem to lack any valid points to make
- lazide 3y agoMy point is that there is literally nothing the app can do to make that happen. So it’s pointlessly off topic here, Which is perfectly valid. You however, seem dead set on missing the obvious and blaming everyone else.
- dazzaji 3y agoHi! I’m not sure if I’m reading you question correctly but if you are asking why would companies comply with the data rights requests made through the Permission Slip app, then the answer is they would do it because it’s legally required under the California Consumer Privacy Act and request made by consumers through “authorized agents” (which is the legal role CR is taking in this case) are equally mandatory. Also, some companies have wisely decided to voluntarily respect such requests. There are more nuances but that’s basically the main answer.
