At this point, I'm pretty sure all my information is already public.
With all the breaches and everyone selling information to anyone with cash, do you really think there's a point? I didn't have an Equifax account in 2017 but I had a credit card, cellphone, etc and I can't opt out of my info being sent there....

Might be a better strategy to hide your valid data in huge amounts of fake data. Who wants to create a bot that poisens my tracking data with nonsense?
