Permission Slip for Android

Similar to some other reviewers, I use unique emails for each service and want to continue this compartmentalization. The way PS handles multiple emails breaks this and makes such users worse off in terms of privacy. This is a CRITICAL BUG and in my opinion violates Google’s data privacy rules.

This is a great app that saves a lot of time and has no pay walls. I was able to submit over 60 data deletion request through this app in less than an hour. The app also has an auto delete feature, where it will send deletion request to data brokers who are harvesting and selling your information. Much needed. Highly appreciated. I shopped around for the same feature through several credit agencies, antivirus companies, and data deletion apps the average price for that service is about 60 bucks a month. Thank you Consumer Reports for bringing this much needed service to the people at no cost.

Updated…I’m able to sign into the app now. Seems straightforward. A lot of sites only offer the option to delete your data and account. Finally found an site that provides the option not to sell my data in addition to deleting my account. I’ve made the request not to sell so we’ll see how it goes. Tried several times today to create an account. The app just returned me to the same page. Now I try to create an account this evening and it says there’s already one there with my email. I select the option to reset my password, I get the email. Click the link and reset my password. Try and log in again and “An error has occurred”. Tried the password reset twice now with the same results.

Make sure you read their privacy policy. They collect and sell our data to 3rd parties for things like advertising. They do have a method to opt out of that if you ask. It should be the default. Mind boggling.

iPads have nice big screens and snap-on keyboards. Some people even use them instead of laptops. It would be a lot easier to type in all the info we need to enter if the app was actually designed for the Mobile’s full UI instead of a scrunched Android 4 UI. Google has been bending backwards to make it easy for apps to incorporate adaptive layouts. You just have to make up your mind to do it, and stop listening to those silly PMs who say “iPads only have __% market share.” That might be true, but it’s the % you want the most. (iPads are also better for reading Consumer Reports. Just saying.)
