Norton privacy service a "yawner"

Privacy Monitor just scans the web and reports back every 3 months to say what it has found on various data broker websites. If you choose to you can then manually apply to the website owners to ask to remove your info.

Privacy Monitor Assistant is an extra charge that will do the work of applying to the websites automatically. Saves you time but costs you extra.

In either case there is no guarantee that the website owners will remove that info and of course they could just create another website with similar info about you. I think it is very annoying but in today's data hungry world this info floats from server to server so good luck with removing it.

How Privacy Monitor works:

1. View a list of sites where your information is displayed     
2. See what types of information is being displayed on those sites     
3. Access quick links to see how to request to opt-out
4. Track which sites you’ve requested to opt-out of
5. Visit Privacy Monitor every 3 months to re-run the scan to determine what information is available. 
6. Why re-visit every 3 months?  Data can be re-aggregated and re-posted on data broker and people search sites, so re-scanning regularly can help you find data that has been added back in.
