    I would love to read my own folder. I wonder if I have a unique folder for each of my online personas, or if they’ve managed to consolidate all into one.

      if they’ve managed to consolidate all into one.

      This.

      We may feel safer with multiple aliases, email addresses, using different browsers, etc. but it’s not hard for them to combine data and know exactly what profile belongs to whom.

      Not that we shouldn’t try, but it’s far more difficult for the average user to evade data collection than someone who is online for a very specific purpose (and is covering their tracks with every interaction).

      Generally you can google the site name and then “removal request” and their portal will be visible.

      Some more useful info: California maintains a list of data brokers, available Here

      Also, paid services will scan these lists and initiate takedown requests on your behalf automatically. I’ve found optery to be good but there are other services as well
