☆ What internet data brokers have on you — and how you can start to get it back

Inside data brokers' massive vaultCybersecurity experts estimate that data brokers collect an average of 1,000 data points on each individual with an online presence. Little oversight around data privacyThe lack of comprehensive regulation around data privacy allows data brokers to operate with little oversight, unlike the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union. Opt-out links and instructions are readily available for most of the major data brokers: ExperianTransUnionLexisNexisEpsilon But data privacy experts says reclaiming or deleting your data from brokers can be a deliberately complex process that is not only time-consuming but frustrating. "With AI, data brokers will create even more detailed and predictive profiles, incorporating everything from biometric data to behavioral tracking," Abed said. Until regulation steps in, data brokers will continue to collect as much data as possible.

☆ I spent 10 minutes shopping for a mattress topper online, and it dispelled all notions of online privacy I ever held

Read previewI was shopping online for a mattress topper — of all the mundane things — when something creepy happened. I had opened a website of a company that I hadn't heard of but that several popular review sites recommended. I lingered on the product page for several minutes, reading the specifications of the topper and comparing it with other options. There are some options for people who are concerned about their personal data being out there. Some states, including California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, and Utah, have passed data-privacy laws that give residents the right to have their personal data deleted or prevent it from being sold.

☆ How to delete yourself from the internet

With so much personal data floating publicly on the internet, consumers have a legitimate interest in controlling the information flow. Self-help tools to remove personal informationFor those who are so inclined, there are ways to limit the amount of personal information available on the internet. If that fails, Google says it may remove personal information "that creates significant risks of identity theft, financial fraud, or other specific harms." It can be hard to gauge the effectiveness of these services, partly because there's so much personal information in the public domain. DeleteMe's website says that 2,389 pieces of personal information, on average, are found over a two-year subscription.
