Leave a Review Permission Slip by CR
Never sends verification email
Great in theory but the app never sends the required verification email so it is worthless.
It looks like it could be very beneficial if one could get past verification so I will leave it at a 2.C123456700000

Hi there, Thanks for your feedback! The verification email not arriving was a bug that we've now fixed. Very sorry that things were not working as they should! We just got a massive influx of new users in the last three days -- and with that increase in scale came bugs like this one. Thanks to feedback from users like you we were able to identify the problem and have improved processes that will prevent bugs like in the future. Email us at permissionslip@cr.consumer.org if you have any more questions. Happy to help!Nice app but screen display is faulty
I’ve been a Consumer Reports subscriber for decades and recently learned of this app. I installed it today on my iPhone 13 Pro and noticed right away that wording within the app is super huge and that some items extend off the screen. I was able to set it up and configure many settings. However there are items at the bottom of the screen that are cut off as they extend beyond the visible screen area. Also, when stepping through the companies selections and trying to configure them i often see the Learn More button covered up by the Skip This Company link which seems superimposed over the other.
These issues need to be fixed to make the app truly usable.
My phone is running the very latest IOS.Show lessCardoGFX
Can’t even opt out of consumer reports tracking
This app is built by consumer reports. If you use it to opt out of consumer reports tracking, days later you’ll receive an automated reply from CR saying that they can’t honor the request and send new instruction.
If this app doesn’t even work with its parent company why should I expect it to work with anything else?Show lessAnnoyedLJD
Take back what’s mine
A great way to improve the privacy of my data so corporate actors can’t use it for their own benefit without my permission. Eager for them to grow the range of companies included.jessica12946
Easy, informative and empowering!
Everything I needed and more! I’ve always been so overwhelmed by where my data lives, what it’s being used for, let alone how I can control it. I’m learning so much from Permission Slip, and feel like I finally have some power back. Thank you PS!daniraps
If you use multiple email addresses, this leaks those addresses
Unfortunately the app submits all of the email addresses you supply with every request you make. The goal is understandable (to increase the chance that the recipient will find your account), but it gives the target company valuable personal info which they didn't previously have. For privacy and security reasons I use a custom email address for every account (easy if you have a catch-all address), so it is at best pointless to submit all those addresses with every request. At worst it allows the receiving company to cross-reference those addresses and learn more about me from and of my personal information that they've acquired elsewhere, but which they didn't previously know belonged to me. Request: please let me specify which email address(es) to submit with each request. Don't make me enter all the addresses in advance, and don't automatically save the address because that would just mean I have to tediously delete it every time.Show lessndru

Thanks for the feedback! I also tend to use a generated email for a similar reason. This is a great point, and I will share this with the product team and see about adding it for a future release. The more we hear about what features people need most, the better we can prioritize, so thanks for letting us know it's something you're looking for!My data agent…
Companies harvest and sell our data for profit. It’s often done without our consent. Have you heard of a data broker? They’ve heard of you. This app makes it simple and fun to take back your data. It’s refreshing and empowering. Eager to see more firms on the list. Glad that the auto request feature is watching out for new actors.Show lessteddyb109
Great way to stop/learn about 3rd party tracking!
I’m a big fan of learning how things work behind the scenes and companies selling our data is something that’s confusing and really behind the scenes.
A lot of companies make a lot of cabbage from us without us understanding how! Like how does a company sell Me-ness based off of the things I do online etc... ?
Since that’s beyond my knowledge, although I’m learning more each day, I’d prefer they don’t go around selling gossip about me. This app does that!Show lessLillian Mountweazel
Data Rights for All!
This type of authorized agent app is a key step toward ensuring everybody can exercise the data rights we have under laws like CCPA, GDPR, etc. Great to see this finally happening!DazzaJi
Seamless and easy to use
