I’ve tried one rep, delete me and a few others. This service goes much wider to delete all public mentions and hidden ones in broker databases that are being sold. It has made a considerable difference for my data privacy IMO.
It's fascinating that I have to pay to get my data removed from datasets into which they got without my consent (well, my consent "is not worth much" IMHO) and somebody else gets paid to put my data into this dataset.
So I need to pay to get something I never wanted in the first place.
Makes me wish there was a service dedicated to providing the information of the people who run these services for free. The more details that can be used by marketing folks to profile and contact them, the better.
This is par for the course for Americans and credit reporting agencies. It's disgusting how they use your data without consent, don't protect it, then charge you to 'lock' your credit. I love unfettered capitalism.
Glad to hear it. All we do at Kanary is focus on exposure clean up. We've spent 4+ years refining how we find and match information to show accurate results vs a bunch of mismatched / irrelevant alerts.
We run a free trial & free version too so that it can be accessible for folks who want to run this type of clean up, have the time to DIY, and don't want to pay.
Thanks for posting this. I do feel foolish that I didn't come across the relationship between OneRep and Nuwber myself. I hope other HN readers will see this and take this into account before they consider OneRep. I'll definitely consider deleting my account.
Checkout CircleBack which is a free tool that scrapes your email for contacts for you. Now look at their CEO. He also owns a data broker. I am sure he is selling the CircleBack data.
It’s amazing that today the idea of employing 4,000 crafts people is novel but this is really a very cool story of doing business the same way for generations.
Can this replace BriteVerify or Kickbox? It looks like this would have trouble scaling based on the comments. Is that at hundreds, thousands or millions of emails per month?

"The purchase was announced in April, but the price tag wasn't disclosed by Citrix until a later quarterly report. Citrix shelled out $165 million in cash for Grasshopper, plus about $8.6 million in stock that would vest over time."
