Unfortunately, too few people are really aware of all the very personal data that is passed on. Health data reveals a lot about someone and therefore clearly identified victims, whether for advertising or suppression.

I was using that app called Permission Slip to delete my data from Rite Aid because I hate them.

Apparently you can have Trans Union delete your data, I can’t imagine that it’s a good thing (deleting your credit report information) but look at what they collect on people, this is absolutely crazy.

How would they be collecting medical information? This is so gross, is this just if I use a Trans Union app? Or do they somehow get all this just by me looking at my Trans Union credit report through their website?

They also collect financial info like what you would normally expect but also property records and small personally owned business, the employment and contact demographics you would expect, but the Geo location was pretty unexpected and sketchy.
They also do online tracking device ID advertising ID browser browser history ads or online content you viewed access access or clicked IP address domain information Internet service provider used device identification information collect passively and through cookies, some other stuff you would expect, but they also collect wellness information, such as medical information and health insurance Where the fuck is Trans Union getting my medical information from?
