California's DROP website gives you more control over your data. You can tell data brokers to delete and not sell your personal information.

    For those not in California, its a bit more manual, but you can also work on removing your data yourself.

    I'm sure with an eight-month lead time until the data brokers are required to respond to these requests, It won't be a shit show at all...

    I hope it's better than nothing.

    "... Finally, they will delete and/or stop selling and sharing any non-exempt information about you that matches their records. "

    And/Or

    Nameless "Exempt" information doesn't qualify

    Sigh.
