(Data) Broker Poker – The Art of Removing Personal Data at Scale
Charlie Bucket
Abstract:
This talk centers around data brokers (companies who sell data on consumers) and how consumer privacy laws can be used to regain control of your digital privacy.
Join me as I recount the arduous journey of manually removing personal data from these data brokers, exploring how different laws in Minnesota and elsewhere can be used to better understand your digital footprint, and what we can do to democratize and automate the process for everyone.
