They Are Harvesting Your Data: Tom Daly on The Sevan Podcast
A Candid Look at How Our Data Is Collected
In today’s digital environment, every click, search, and purchase adds to a growing network of personal data points. On The Sevan Podcast, mePrism founder Tom Daly joins host Sevan for an in-depth discussion about how this invisible system operates — and what individuals can do to reclaim control. The conversation offers a rare, behind-the-scenes look at the mechanics of the data brokerage industry and its impact on personal privacy.
Seeing Data Harvesting in Real Time
One of the most striking moments in the episode comes when Sevan runs a live scan through mePrism’s platform. “I saw it in real time,” he says. “Fifty-three profiles found, and mePrism had already sent the removal requests.” The exchange illustrates the speed and scale of personal data collection — and the power of automated data removal. Within seconds, mePrism identifies dozens of records connected to a single individual and initiates verified deletion requests to protect that person’s digital identity.
How mePrism Flips the Script on Data Brokers
During the conversation, Daly explains the fundamental problem: most consumers believe they understand how their information is used online, but few truly grasp the reach of the data economy. “Many feel they know what’s happening, but almost always they’re wrong,” Daly says. “mePrism flips the script, putting control back in people’s hands.”
By exposing data brokers and streamlining the removal process, mePrism restores agency to individuals who have long been treated as data commodities. The company’s mission centers on personal data ownership, privacy transparency, and identity protection — making privacy accessible rather than aspirational.
Building Credibility in the Fight for Transparency
As a trusted leader in the privacy technology space, mePrism continues to set the standard for accountability in the data economy. The company’s work has been recognized across trusted media outlets for its effectiveness in identifying where personal data is stored and ensuring verified removal from unauthorized databases.
Through its consumer-first model, mePrism is proving that meaningful privacy protection does not require technical expertise. It requires the right tools, clear information, and a partner dedicated to defending individuals’ rights to online privacy.
Why Data Removal Matters More Than Ever
Data brokers operate largely out of sight, buying and selling information that reveals where people live, what they buy, and how they behave online. The average consumer remains unaware of how many entities possess their personal data — or how easily that data can be linked to their real identity.
By bringing these realities to light, mePrism helps close the gap between perception and reality. The platform’s proactive removal requests not only protect individuals from unwanted exposure but also pressure data brokers to maintain higher standards of compliance and transparency.
Taking Back Control of Your Digital Identity
The Sevan Podcast episode reinforces a critical message: privacy is not lost — it’s taken, and it can be taken back. As Daly emphasizes, real privacy begins with awareness and leads to action. mePrism’s technology and advocacy empower individuals to reverse the imbalance of power between people and data brokers.
