Data brokers like Acxiom, Experian, and Equifax are collecting and profiting from our personal information without our knowledge or consent. They gather data from various sources and sell it to businesses for targeted advertising, credit checks, and more. Most people are unaware of the extent of their digital footprint and have no control over their data. However, there are steps you can take to uncover and delete your data from broker sites, such as requesting your data and sending removal requests. Consumer protection laws like the CCPA and GDPR can also be leveraged to demand data deletion. Additionally, deletion services like DeleteMe and Incogni can simplify the process for a fee. Taking control of your personal information requires persistence and vigilance, but it is worth it to protect your privacy.
