@damselfly59 Thank you! I started this process a while ago & then fizzled put. Will use your great info to give it another go. 💐
@damselfly59: It is not there. I'm on my profile there right now. I will keep looking for the opt-out option.
@thedisasterautist I haven't done this yet. Sorry if it is not accurate. Our IT has been fuzzed up this month.
Typically they give good info😗
Will ceck out after dinner.
@damselfly59: I found the solution. Once you find yourself on there, you go to the bottom and click the big red box with "Do Not Sell My Personal Information". Do right-click and "Open in New Tab" because it takes you to a form to fill out. You'll need info from the profile page.
@thedisasterautist 7c. 👍 thanks !!!
@damselfly59 a big THANK YOU!
The irony of submitting an email address in order to remove data 🤷♀️
@Eulimnadian 😁 a vicious circle. It's cray
@damselfly59 Thank you. Does MyLife still try to charge you to get your data removed?
@JeniRizio I don't know yet, thanks for the warning, will update when I get to it. . 🙏
@damselfly59
This is an awesome Step-by-Step to reclaim your personal information. Thanks for a great public service for all of us that are taking back our identities. You rock! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
@damselfly59
I was able to use some of the info. I think I might have been able to get data off 3 sites. Thanks.
Some of it is outdated, with links that go to other sites such as truthfinder which is a site to avoid. Intellius asks for date of birth, which is never a good idea to input to an untrusted online site.
