Did you know your address can easily be found on Google?
It’s true and quite shocking to some people how criminals can use this information to target victims.
Take Cathy, for example. She ended up getting her house robbed while she was visiting her sister. Data brokers sold her address and the fact that she bought plane tickets, which got posted on Google. So the thieves knew precisely her address and when she would be gone.
They took everything from Cathy! She was devasted. She fortunately had home insurance that covered some of the damage, but she is still emotionally distraught.
This is why it is important to ensure that your information is not on Google. But how do you do this?
Unfortunately, it is not very easy. There are over 400+ data brokers in the US, and new ones are opening all the time. If you tell one to stop posting your information, they legally have to honor your request. But contacting every single data broker and then following up to make sure they have honored your request takes many hours.
I spoke to a few local lawyers about doing the work and was provided with 3 different quotes: $4,000, $1,200, and even $7,000 by one larger firm! They said this was a lot of work, and the price would not come with any guarantee of service.
That was way too much money to pay, so I started researching how to start the process myself and learned about the company Privacy Guardian AI.
By using AI to do the bulk of the work, they can charge a tiny fraction of the price of the lawyers I spoke with. Finally, this AI stuff is having a benefit, I can see!
For only $80, Privacy Guardian could do the same work for which I had been quoted thousands!
They quickly removed my address and phone number from Google and all US data brokers, stopping them from buying and selling private information about me and my family.
It’s a huge relief to know that I won’t be a victim like Cathy was while she was on vacation just because of some data broker.
I’d recommend all my readers sign up for Privacy Guardian AI. Let them work hard to ensure Google and other data brokers stop posting your private information.
