There's something very wrong about some random company being able to collect lots of data about you where the only way to stop it is to _somehow_ know about the company and opt out _after_ it collects that data.
I suspect things will have to get worse before they get better. But then again we have the 3 big credit reporting agencies, and they don't seem to be going anywhere.
And they collect and process this data even if you're a member of the EU - surely this is against the GDPR? I realise the photos they have are publicly available, but that only means I've consented for them to be displayed on Github, Facebook or wherever - it doesn't mean I've consented for some scummy startup to hoover up all my data, process it and index it.
And you have to send them a clear photo of yourself to opt-out... there is something very wrong with that. I don't believe for one second that they don't have, for example, my email address.
