A place to discuss privacy and freedom in the digital world.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.
Some Rules
- Posting a link to a website containing tracking isn't great, if contents of the website are behind a paywall maybe copy them into the post
- Don't promote proprietary software
- Try to keep things on topic
- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience
- Be nice :)

Most brands likely don't deal with many GDPR style requests outside of the EU. So you'll likely want to get a note to whomever is holding the information such as ecommerce providers (Salesforce, Shopify), Reviews providers, marketing tools etc. and go through them.
You'll either yourself or through that customer support agent want to get a note to the platform powering the functionality you want to be anonymized from that you'd like your info expunged.
The tech platforms in this case will be much more used to these requests so you should have a better chance at them following through.
The good news is generally this soft deletes your data over many sites rather than just the one you shopped at so you won't have to repeat often.
Hope that helps!
