There's so many copies of personal data all out there, it would blow your mind. I have a friend who works in this industry. Brokers sell to other brokers who sell to other brokers, who might even sell it back to the original broker after it's been "enriched" with more detail from additional brokers.

I'm a pessimist. You will never remove your personal data. If you get it removed by one company, the others will pop up like mushrooms. Also, from what I've seen, a lot of this information is out-of-date or crap that is just plain wrong.
