#California Sues Data-Harvesting Company #NPD , Enforcing Strict #Privacy Law - Slashdot

California's attempt to regulate the industry inspired the nonprofit Consumer Reportsto create an app called #PermissionSlip that reveals what data companies collect and, for people in U.S. states, will "work with you to file a request, telling companies to stop selling your personal information."

I haven't used it yet, but this #PermissionSlip app sounds like a legitimate way to get your #PersonalData deleted or protected on all the sites and apps where you've signed up over the years #Identity #Online #Helpful #ConsumerReports

Good article, free access

It has been almost a year since I cold turkey left #Twitter for Mastodon. I'm super fortunate to have had @vmstan as a constant nag to come over to vmst.io. Now I'm a "Mastodon evangalist"

Anyway, I submitted an account deletion request via #PermissionSlip. The request has been ignored thus far. Shocker.

#PermissionSlip emailed me this morning to let me know T-Mobile needs more info in order to delete my info: ID, front and back, plus selfies for #biometrics.

I have to say, kudos to T-Mobile for making this process SUPER hard. Maybe if they put this much effort into their #InfoSec they wouldn't have multiple data breeches under their belts! #PermissionSlipCR #TMobile

#ConsumerReports has created an application called #PermissionSlip which sends requests for #OptOut or #DataDeletion based on your state laws.

I love CR and this is an awesome service they’ve created. I used it, it has a list of about 4 dozen companies and some requests to data aggregators. They send requests to the appropriate departments.
