Reviews: What People Think About Permission Slip by CR

Rating: 5/5
Oh boy, have you heard about Permission Slip? It's like the Tinder for your data privacy, but instead of swiping right to find "the one," you swipe right to tell data brokers, "You're not the one who's allowed to have my data!" This app is basically your helicopter parent for the digital age. "Stop selling my child's data, Karen. He's not a piece of merchandise!"
Permission Slip is like having an overly-attached bodyguard who not only fights off the data creeps but also walks up to them and says, "Delete his data, and do it NOW!" Oh, and it's from Consumer Reports, so it's basically like your stern, but fair, aunt who's always got your back at family dinners when everyone else is getting into your business. Swipe right on Permission Slip; it's the only relationship you won't regret in the morning!

Unfortunately the app submits all of the email addresses you supply with every request you make. The goal is understandable (to increase the chance that the recipient will find your account), but it gives the target company valuable personal info which they didn't previously have. For privacy and security reasons I use a custom email address for every account (easy if you have a catch-all address), so it is at best pointless to submit all those addresses with every request. At worst it allows the receiving company to cross-reference those addresses and learn more about me from and of my personal information that they've acquired elsewhere, but which they didn't previously know belonged to me. Request: please let me specify which email address(es) to submit with each request. Don't make me enter all the addresses in advance, and don't automatically save the address because that would just mean I have to tediously delete it every time.
Geez, nickname already.

Assuming it works, it’s awesome. I’ve had one company agree to stop selling my info that I didn’t even know had my info, but 3 other sleazeballs flat-out refuse so far: cvs, intuit and yahoo. However, when this happens, the app doesn’t give you the option to go back and tell the company to delete your info altogether, or to stop stealing it to begin with, especially without prior permission and compensation. Also, a list of sleazeball companies that refuse the requests should be compiled and made very public in order to try and force them to stop stealing and profiting from the personal information of individuals, which by definition belongs only to each individual. Sleazeball denials so far: versium, walmart, starbucks, kohl’s, merkle, intuit, yahoo and cvs.
