Company in my town controls most of the 'personal data' on us citizens in the US, at least non-government type data. This company is why you get calls for Resort Sales, and Home Security, and all the B/S. They can provide data on every person in any location, sorted in any way imaginable (all the left handed dentists in Omaha area, e.g.). They've been around since the 60's.

Well, if you want to.....................you can go to this website:
https://aboutthedata.com/
find yourself and correct your data.

Lots of reasons not to do it. Lots of reasons to do it.

I went, and they had no account of me. So I stopped right there. I know it isn't true, I get calls. But if they can't find me, fine. I know a lot of data is wrong.......one guy I know, a staunch Republican, showed up as a Democrat and an Arab. Go figure.

So, for what it's worth.

Formerly CCX. I installed a shit ton of circuits out there many many many many many years ago, maybe even in a different Dimension (ha, get it? Dimernsion PBX?). This was before Conway even had T-1's I think. Nice people. NOT.

I have to admit to being curious. But, not enough to give them my birthday and last four digits of my SSN.

Says my household income is 30,000 a year.
Sounds about right.

I'm curious, but not enough to voluntarily give them any "more" info on me.
I'm semi OK with my name and addy, but my birthday and SSN....ummmmm no thanks.
They want just waaaay too much personal info just to peek inside their website.

You're giving that info simply to see what info they already have........which I guarantee you is not blank. They already have what you won't give.

But I agree with healthy skepticism.
