I've been using a service to automatically opt out of these sites for about a year now. I also don't use my full last name when I buy things online anymore, and use VOIP phone numbers and anonaddy/simplelogub emails.

Can't find myself on google and most data brokers anymore.

What service.

Also adding a data point for Optery. I'm sure the other services are comparable, though. Most have free trials.
