A smart way to tell data brokers to buzz off

Data brokers are the companies that make billions of dollars gathering up and then selling, leasing or sharing our data. It’s used for everything from targeted ads (that’s how they knew you drive a Subaru) to spam (and why you get so many bogus phone calls).

And if you’re thinking, “I bet their morals behind all this are pretty questionable,” you’re right.

Last week, I told you how they’ve been selling info on current and former U.S. military personnel, but what’s more disturbing is how they’ve been caught collecting and selling the private data of minors. Out of 480 data brokers registered with the California Privacy Protection Agency, 24 indicated they sell data belonging to minors. Yikes!

So, what can you do to protect yourself and your loved ones? Wipe this info out.

Data brokers make it incredibly hard to remove yourself. They make you jump through hoop after hoop. It would literally take hundreds of hours to remove yourself from each and every database out there. So, I went looking and found a solution!
