Confidently

Your proactive online privacy sidekick. Deleting your personal data from companies that shouldn’t have it—and stopping others from selling it.

[Confidently @Confidently]

Everyone deserves the right to decide which companies can have their data — and which can’t. Thanks @TomKemp00 and @SenJoshBecker for leading the way with #SB362! Team @Confidently strongly supports your efforts.

[Tom Kemp @TomKemp00]

.@LATimes article on #SB362 -- would give @Calprivacy the ability to create a consumer-facing portal that would enable deletion from #databrokers and do not track. Bill authored by @JoshBeckerSV https://t.co/NeuPtPmtEl

Privacy

[Confidently @Confidently]

@geoffreyfowler @justinlabel So long as privacy laws operate on an opt-out basis (and there’s no reason to believe that will change, given strong tech lobby), consumers will need services like @Confidently to take back full control of their data. Laws make it possible, but impractical without help at scale.

We’d love to see a national don’t-collect-my-data registry—but we aren’t waiting on Congress to act. Neither should you.

With gas prices at an all-time high, it can feel tempting to look for a deal at the pump.

But beware of the apps like these that exploit times like these to get you to give them your personal data.

Companies shouldn’t be buying and selling your location data, or any other sensitive information about you—and especially not without your knowledge and consent.

Spam texts (and calls! and emails!) are the worst.

This article offers helpful tips for dealing with them, including refusing to open suspicious links.

Here’s another: Cleaning up your data trail with Confidently makes it harder for spammers to find you in the first place.

[Tatum Hunter @Tatum_Hunter_]

Spam texts are now more common than spam calls, and people lost an estimated $10 billion (!!!) to text scams in 2021. https://t.co/9t4jgAdeNV

[Confidently @Confidently]

California and Illinois: You can now delete your face from Clearview AI’s database: https://t.co/Mmfvh35a5L

The rest of us need much stronger privacy protections—especially when one facial recognition tech firm wants to be able to identify everyone on earth.

[Drew Harwell @drewharwell]

Scoop: I got Clearview AI's big new pitch to investors. The facial recognition giant wants to work with private companies in retail and the gig economy. And with $50 million, they said they can get to 100 billion faces, enough to identify everyone on earth https://t.co/250YN8YOmN

Your data privacy is important to you—and to us. But just how important is harvesting and tracking your data to the tech industry?

Look no further than Facebook’s stock price for your answer. Our co-founder, @BrentBlackaby, explains why: https://t.co/31OkjtmTt7

Protecting our data—by getting companies to delete our personal information and stop selling it—helps protect our national security.

When there’s less of our data out there, there’s less information for nefarious foreign actors to find and exploit.

Spam calls are the worst. That's why we've made it easier to report them to the FTC:
