I apologize in advance of this is too basic a question for this community.

I just learned about lexisnexis and went to their website to request my report, opt out of everything I could, and request my information be deleted.

Are there any other companies like this I should be aware of so I can make the same requests there?

If it matters, I’m in California and it’s my understanding that I have a few more rights concerning this sort of thing than some others do.

    This is what you’re looking for:

    https://github.com/yaelwrites/Big-Ass-Data-Broker-Opt-Out-List

    There is/was another website that had a large list but also all the opt out steps. I think they also had a service where they’d opt out for you, but you had to fill out a bunch of personal info.

    I also heard that a lot or most of the opt out services were bought by data brokers. There’s one site that seemed to just be 2 guys and a side hustle thing. I went ahead and did that. I have no proof that they did anything or did a good job, but I was still happy with the service.
