I expected better
If you use more than one email don’t waste your time. Any of the data aggregators such as Lexus Nexus, just simply reject the request saying they need more info or you have to reply to an email to confirm it’s you or just simply deny the request. Tracking what the app has done and what did work is confusing. And the gotcha is the number of specific requests is limited. I think you may have to pay for additional requests above the quota? Not sure on that. Overall just a bad experience with the app. But give it a trial effort like I did and don’t renew if you are unsatisfied.

DeleteMe takes you hostage
When I got the notification that the app was being bought out by deleteme, I didn’t want my data transferred to yet another entity, so I deleted my account. DeleteMe then contacted every data broker I’d filed requests with, years before, to tell them to cancel my deletion requests, and giving them back my information. Absolute malicious app.

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?
Will not stay logged in
A good effort but seems worse over time. Every time I open the app I’m logged out. I use “Sign in with Apple” and suspect they don’t like this, or possibly some tracking protection on my network. Either way it’s a poor experience. And as others have said, if you use multiple address or email addresses you must expose them all in every request. Not great.

Bad Apple application
Doesn’t work. Immediately goes blank when I click on “do it myself”. Happy I didn’t pay for it.
Not so good
Seems to be a waste of time. Every vendor I select, the program wants me to join the “Plus” side of Permission Slip ($59.00 annually). If you don’t join, it tells you to make a manual request yourself. Doesn’t seem to do anything.
Developer response doesn’t change my assessment of this app - still not so good. Only confirmed my assessment. This app does NOTHING!

Consumer Reports Recommended
I love the concepts of these types of data privacy apps. My issue is who may be on the other end. Are they selling a bill of goods? Are they truthful and reliable? I’m willing to give a CR recommended app the benefit of the doubt.
Unable to report a company
Great idea, but I question if it will really work. Looking to request that they add a data broker that they are missing. I am able to fill out the form, but the app will not let me submit it.
$20/month
The free portion app has legitimate companies but no data brokers.
To delete data from data brokers the app asks for $20/month subscription.

Not working even cannot log in , no help with login and glitch
I wish I can somehow get refund , biggest problem is there is no help to just log in. My screen stuck at making account as new user. I do not even see log in screen.
I also did not get help with password or log in ( reset)
This glitch ( cannot get to log in screen ever no matter what I do ) not resolved and there is no help ( just email and they do not help)
I regret paying for app I cannot even log in.
Worst app I ever used
No web version either.
I delete redownloaded app.
Still only shows new registration page and cannot get out of this page no matter what I do!!

APP requires choosing each co. individually.
I expected to be able to set one request and have CR take care of the rest for $59.99 per year. Not so, you have go through what looks like hundreds of companies if not more than 1000 one by one.
Not ipad friendly
Not everyone has all their passwords and logins on an iphone and not everyone has a cell phone but still has internet access and a tablet.
Kind of disappointing
This is a great concept. Execution leaves much to be desired. I was able to send out a handful of requests before it ran out of suggestions. Two granted, one denied, the rest perpetually “under review”. Neither great nor awful, but there’s no way I would pay $60 per year or $20 per month(!) for the “plus” version after the lackluster performance of the base version.

Over charged
It said this was $59.99. I was charged $68.88. I cannot talk to anyone about this extra charge
We have been working on this. The permission Slip people have worked to help me find the answer that they did not charge more than the $59.99. I paid with Apple Pay and they sent me a statement that included other subscriptions but did not list them. I thought it was all charged by PS. This is a good company to deal with.

Changes
And without warning, we now have to pay for it. I guess it’s not enough that I subscribe to consumer reports which has proven to be quite useless in the last year or so. I may just cancel it all.
Bait and Switch!!!
This was free and as a CR subscriber it should remain free. I am not going to subscribe to yet another app or service. I’m done.
