Why you need a DeleteMe subscription
Have you ever Googled yourself? Of course you have. But what you might not have noticed is how much personal information like your e-mail address, phone number, and even home address is publicly available through the services of pesky data brokers. You may also find that some of your cringe-worthy posts from way back (that yousworeyou had deleted) still exist in some random corner of the internet.
This is where DeleteMe comes in. It may not do much about your old Xanga edits floating out there, but what it can do is take your personal data out of the hands of over 750 data brokers to stop your information from being public. You will have to submit your personal info directly to DeleteMe before it can kickstart its work, but that’s only because the service needs concrete proof that you’ve authorized it to opt you out from data aggregators on your behalf.
DeleteMe’s system employs both automation and human operators to do the searching and purging, and after a week, it will deliver a detailed report on what it found and removed. The company also monitors for any new instances popping up online, and provides fresh reports every three months as long as you have an active subscription — hopefully giving you some peace of mind knowing that someone out there is working overtime toreclaim your information from data brokers.
Privacy comes at a premium these days, but with this discount on a DeleteMe plan, it doesn’t have to. With the deal, you can choose from three options, all 20% below their normal rates: standard protection for a year for one user, which comes out to less than $9 a month instead of $11, protection for a year for two users for $15 instead of $19, or protection for two years for two users for $12 instead of $15. Just keep in mind that all the plans are billed annually, not monthly.
Don’t forget to key in the codeCM20to enjoy the discount, and remember that it’s only valid until the end of November 30th.
