Revising doesn't help - the only safe way is not to give them it in the first place. These companies live or die on their databases. What you delete, they merely flag as deleted and don't show, but you can bet they keep it.

Well ... there's also not re-feeding the beast.

There's also the significance of current data.

I've made some various inquiries of a few databases, and the profile on me is both sparse and inaccurate. Whether or not this is/will cause me problems, I'm not entirely sure, but I mostly prefer it as it is.
