Privacy services share information about consumers with data brokers as part of a request to remove personal data, the company said, since there is no way of knowing whether non-public data brokers have the consumer's profile. This shared information exposes the consumer to unnecessary risks with their personal information, even though they think they are protecting it, Onerep said. The YourControl tool identifies which non-public brokers share this information and provides users with instructions to safely manage their data with these companies, said Onerep.
