You can trust them only as much as you think they have self interest in not being sued for doing something nefarious. That said, they could very easily have a data breach and every customers full 'dox' would then be out in the wild. Were not talking about ordinary payment details either, just full on dox - every address you have lived at, your license scan, your names, phone numbers, its crazy. I made a post lower in this thread but in general this entire model is flawed. Also, its just as important to wipe the data YOU create as the data other people create about you. Just like databrokers, you can either do it manually or automated. Check our https://redact.dev if you want to automated that (Im on the team).

Your Digital Rights

PSA, Getting data brokers to delete your personal data can be very frustrating as their business model depends on this data. Simply put, they use deceptive patterns to avoid complying with data protection requests. We have put together this guide which describes the most common deceptive patterns and how to counter them. For example, in many cases data brokers cannot ask you to send excessive personal information in order to verify your identity. You also don't need to fill in online forms.
