No, you are. Which has been a pain on our side to not have possession of the data, and also why it is an app for desktop if you want to have a copy of your data. It can be really large for a mobile device, and processing in the background is generally not available on mobile. Trying to get some things on mobile though -- deletion is easier than copies of data.
And yeah, we don't want to become a honeypot for what is the largest profile on you -- the combination of all the others.
Alright, that's good, because I would really love for there to be a service that would streamline the way I request data from service providers or request the deletion of data connected to my account, as well as the account itself.
However, your site says:
>> We import and analyze all of your data across your online accounts and give you an audit and a plan of action.
Doesn't that mean that apart from all the, possibly bad, actors out there that have gotten their hands on my activities _you_ are now also in possession of PII connected to me? How does that improve things for me?
