I had a very similar experience with Apollo.io. Somehow my professional data (business email, personal phone number, name, job title and my LinkedIn network and connections) ended up on this website without my consent. I’m assuming it was collected from several sources such as LinkedIn (Even though I had my privacy settings tight) and some conferences I attended in the past year. Either way I contacted them and they sent me a document to confirm my identity and then proceeded to remove my data from their website after I sent it back. I was a bit shocked as it’s basically asking to confirm my identity and give them more information about me when I haven’t even granted them permission in the first place. Such “data brokers” need to be regulated. The most annoying thing is that they only remove data under GDPR, CCPA if I am a resident of California, UK or EEA. Well what if I’m from a country that doesn’t fall under one of those 2 regulations? |
