Taking control of our personal data means reclaiming control over our lives and the choices we make. MePrism Privacy makes it easy for people to remove unconsented data from the internet. It's a critical step towards a more equitable data ecosystem in which consumers own and benefit from their data.

As I wrote in Data and Goliath "Today’s technology gives governments and corporations robust capabilities for mass surveillance. Mass surveillance is dangerous. It enables discrimination based on almost any criteria: race, religion, class, political beliefs. It is being used to control what we see, what we can do, and, ultimately, what we say. It is being done without offering citizens recourse or any real ability to opt out, and without any meaningful checks and balances. It makes us less safe. It makes us less free... We need to fix that, and we need to do it very soon." mePrism Privacy is a step in the right direction.

Threat actors and scammers exploit personal information that’s publicly available and easy to find. It’s important for individuals to remove their home addresses and phone numbers from the hundreds of data brokers that make the information freely available. While it’s possible to manually request the removal from each individual data broker website, the process is tedious, time consuming, and often requires follow-on requests as data brokers repopulate your information back into their databases months after removal. mePrism Privacy helps individuals and organizations streamline the removal process and reduce personal information exposure.
