A wise former colleague always said, “If an app or service is ‘free’, you’re paying with your data.” A year ago Consumer Reports launched Permission Slip to empower people to take back control of their data. Since then, we’ve processed 2 million requests across a huge number of companies like Home Depot, Starbucks, and Ticketmaster. Now we’re launching a paid tier of the popular app to augment its power with a data concierge team of human agents. What’s this mean for you? It looks like reducing your digital footprint so people finder sites, telemarketers, and sales people have a more difficult time spamming you. It means that if site like 23andMe is potentially sold and your *DNA data* is packaged up in its sale, you have a way to take your data back. All proceeds from the paid tier fund CR’s nonprofit mission. Get it here: https://lnkd.in/e7nMQ2HV
