Take control of your digital footprint with DeleteMe and regain your privacy
DeleteMe used to remove personal data online

I assure you I'm not trying to scare you. But you should know that everything you do online is tracked. All the sites you visit, the purchases you make, the media, and the content you share it's all linked to a digital footprint or invisible profile. Data brokers, the people who collect and manage this data, have information like your name, address, age, phone numbers, relatives, accounts, property values of the properties you own, occupation and salary info, past addresses you've lived at, and so much more. It really doesn't take much to expose this data either. There is a way to not only uncover this data for yourself but also remove it. You can take back control of that digital footprint, once and for all, and it's surprisingly easy. How? It's called DeleteMe, a unique service that connects you with experts to help find and remove all of those sensitive details.

Essentially, you'd have to go to most, if not all data brokers yourself and complete the opt-out process. Because there are so many, and your data can keep reappearing over time, that task seems insurmountable. DeleteMe experts will do it all for you. If you're interested, now's a great time to give the service a try. That's because you can save 25% off for Black Friday and Cyber Monday and kickstart the data removal process for way less than it usually costs.

Did you know, that at any given time, everything you’re doing while online is being tracked, collected, and collated? Data aggregation companies called data brokers take all the information they collect about you, your family, and other people, and then sell it for a profit. Outside of the ethical concerns of that process, one major issue is that it leaves you vulnerable. That information can be easily exposed, purchased, or acquired by nefarious actors. It might then be used to send you loads of spam emails, robocalls, and phishing attempts, and may even contribute to identity theft attacks. Scary stuff. But there are services, like DeleteMe, that help you recover, remove, and take back control of your online privacy and data.

Thanks to a Black Friday and holiday deal you can protect yourself and anyone you care about, for less. DeleteMe is currently 25% off and it would make the perfect gift for your loved ones this holiday season. Why? Because the reality is that everyone's data is being collected and this service can help remove that information, keep it from being reuploaded to databases and offer extra layers of protection against phishing, identity theft, scams, and more. They deserve privacy and security just like you, and you can be the one to gift it to them.
