  They do have a free tier, and while it doesn’t auto request your data removal they can at least notify you which data brokers have your info so you can make the requests manually yourself. monitor.mozilla.org

    This is about breaches, not databrokers

      I did what you were too busy to do. I clicked the link.

      It’s about data brokers. It says so repeatedly on the page you didn’t visit.

        I did click too and I see no mention of data brokers, only data breaches. Could this be location targeted? I also tried from the blog post and got no way to pay for the service. I’m in Canada btw.

      Mozilla Monitor used to be just for monitoring breaches but they have recently added in the ability for you to monitor your own personal information that databrokers have on you.

  Yeah, it’s quite a bit. But on the other hand, it’s to support mozilla as a whole.

  Can’t stand the thought of encouraging either the industry or the “anti”-industry. Must be some companies both selling & selling removal services.

  Well besides that it goes to a good cause, most other similar services, how do you prove they actually did the work? I mean you’d have to manually inquire to each and every broker wouldn’t you? You’re essentially taking their word for it (I’m personally a huge fan of OptMeOut, especially for $20 a year)

  Mozzilla is at least proven reputable.

  If I wasn’t a college student, I’d definitely do it because I trust Mozilla for now.

    I don’t trust any companies.

  Incogni is cheaper.

  • MrMcGasion@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    With all the discounts they offer it is, but technically Incogni is 12.98/month. And with as many YouTube sponsor spots as they buy, I’d imagine they’re just trying to get as many people signed up as they can, and will stop offering as many discounts once they’ve burned through their investor cash.

    I paid $25 to Optery and that took care of like 99% of it for me.

      Yeah that's the tack I've heard, just buy a month. I decided to buy a year, because I have existed for fucking ever, and there are a good number of those data brokers that drag their feet longer than a month to remove your info.
