You can trust them only as much as you think they have self interest in not being sued for doing something nefarious.

That said, they could very easily have a data breach and every customers full info would then be out in the wild. Were not talking about ordinary payment details either, just full on dox - every address you have lived at, your license scan, all emails, phone numbers, its crazy. Id be willing to bet all these services are targeted quite alot as well because the people who would be willing to pay for this stuff are likely the ones with the most to lose.

I made a post lower in this thread but in general this entire model is flawed. Deletions should happen directly between your device and the service in question.

Also, its just as important to wipe the data YOU create as the data other people create about you. Just like databrokers, you can either do it manually or automated.

Check out https://redact.dev if you want to automate that part at least (I'm on the team)

Based on the many notifications I've received from hospitals and insurance providers telling me they've allowed my private information to get repeatedly pilfered, at this point I operate under the assumption that if any organization collects information about me, it's going to leak within the next 5-ish years.

The first and most effective line of defense is to not let the data brokers collect your information in the first place.
