Delete your digital history from dozens of companies with this app

Washington Post: “A new iPhone and Android app [does not work on Mac or PC) called Permission Slip makes it super simple to order companies to delete your personal information and secrets. Trying it saved me about 76 hours of work telling Ticketmaster, United, AT&T, CVS and 35 other companies to knock it off.Did I mention Permission Slip is free? And it’s made by an organization you can trust: the nonprofit Consumer Reports. I had a few hiccups testing it, but I’m telling everyone I know to use it. This is the privacy app all those snooping companies don’t want you to know about. (A surge of interest in Permission Slip caused technical difficulties when it first launched, but Consumer Reports says those have now been fixed.)
