  Fortunately, here’s the links and instructions. Take 20 minutes a day to knock one out.

  I’ve had to email the Support accounts for brokers plenty of times because, shocker, their opt out page is janky and broken.

  justdeleteme.xyz and simpleoptout.com, there was this one website that had a pre-filled email template too, and it’d remind you to follow up with support, etc.

  Do any of those databroker data deletion services actually work? Are they worth it?

    Imagine if they get hacked. They would never tell…or they would lose their whole customer base. Although they would still have their data I guess…
