This page really drills into you how pathetic this settlement is. Less than $3 per affected person for something that affects over a hundred million people.

> 3. I don’t want Equifax to have my data. What can I do?

> Equifax is one of three national credit bureaus. These companies collect information about your credit history, such as how many credit cards you have, how much money you owe, and how you pay your bills. Each company creates a credit report about you, and then sells this report to businesses who are deciding whether to give you credit. You cannot opt out of this data collection. However, you can review your credit report for free and freeze your credit.
