How can a data removal service add a layer of security?

With data brokers worldwide collecting, aggregating and trading your personal details without your knowledge -- and, in many cases, without your consent -- data removal is an increasingly important tool for maintaining digital safety and privacy.

Who will be left disconnected? 

While burner phones or devices are often associated with criminal activity, they’re also used by a wide variety of privacy-conscious people who don’t want to be tracked. The FCC’s proposed rules would effectively ban their use altogether and require “new and renewing” customers to provide identifying information.  “For decades, civil libertarians have looked overseas at authoritarian countries where the government requires people to register to get a mobile phone to ensure they can be tracked.
