Sold out to data broker
Used to be good but then they decided to sell the app and data to a data broker
Basically useless
If you live in a state that doesn’t have the laws saying they have to remove your data and stop selling it upon your request, they will refuse to comply and most states do not have this law. Waste of money.
OMG i hate subscriptions but this uncovered so much and I trust consumer reports
This is seriously a hidden surprise and gem. Maybe once or twice a year I'd subscribe
Ambitious but Clunky
TLDR: Great intentions, clumsy execution. Not totally useless, but not worth the $60 subscription price.
I have had some minor successes using Permission Slip, but unfortunately it falls short of what's intended in today's cavalier regulatory environment. The majority of our hundreds of requests had no response (understandable, not Permission Slip's fault, our flaccid congress hasn't any spine to stand up to write or give teeth enforce any laws here). Another minority of requests came back successfully acknowledged and acted upon (great). Another large minority came back with 'action required' in the app, which almost always means 'X sleazy data grubber has acknowledged the request and has sent you a sketchy, vague email that definitely went to your spam email inbox a month ago and has an expired link that you were supposed to click on to acknowledge this reasonable opt out request.' One or two of these is one thing, 80+ "action required" statuses like that is just impossible. Sorry, Permission Slip is just unable to do this and thus fails to really achieve its stated goals. Idk that it's worth it anymore in a world where any corporate overlord can mug you for data and no one is going to do anything about it. There is no power to enforce here, these companies need to be sued for *TRILLIONS* of dollars and their management jailed 25 to life. Maybe then we would finally see change here, until then I'm not paying for this app.

They sell your data
One would think a data privacy app would respect your data privacy. Read the privacy policy. They give your data to marketing companies and other assorted data collectors. I suspect they do rather well because who would suspect a data privacy app?
