Minnesota, USA -June 23, 2011 - If you use any social networks -Facebook, Twitter, or LinkedIn -, you may consider using a tool in which to stop third parties from gathering your personal data. Nearly everyone is familiar with the enormous amount of data that companies could have on them and do not know what to do to stop it from happening. Undoubtedly we come up with our own ways of doing this, but shouldn't something as important as this be left to the 'professionals' Websites like unsubscribe.com can give you the security that you want while not hitting your bank account too much -perhaps you did not realize this was an option, so the following information is specifically for you.

 

Companies on social networking sites can gather our information in a variety of ways. For instance, when we subscribe or 'like' the page, it may be putting ties in between our information and them. Basically, we could voluntarily be offering our information without even realizing it. Companies may take another approach by creating a fun application that people enjoy playing; when you install it, you need to go with the default sharing options, which leaves you with not many options -most people believe this since they do not realize that they can actually edit those 'options'.

 

Yet, it could be overwhelming to go through the numerous pages we've 'liked' in the past and the dozens of apps that we installed; some may not actually pose any privacy threat so looking through every one of them to find the ones that do could be too much. This is where having a tool that routinely does this for you is a good idea. Do not waste your time or get too worried over anything when there's something dependable to help.
