How to protect your privacy from commercial invasions
Most junk doesn't find you by accident.
It's carefully targeted based on information
about you held in what we call
junk databases.
To stop junk and to protect your privacy
you need to control the information stored about
you in these junk databases.
Here are the main ways you can do that.
-
Tell companies that know your address
``Don't rent or share my name.''
-
Tell the
companies that
sell information
on consumers
to remove your name from the lists they sell.
Our free web-based service,
JUNKBUSTERS DECLARE,
makes this easy by
drafting letters
for you to
the top vendors of personal information.

Our extensive
guide
explains
how direct marketers get and sell your name,
and other ways to tell them not to disclose the information they
keep about you.
-
Be aware that as you browse the
Web,
junk data about you is being collected with your
every mouseclick.
Some is even stored in your own files as
cookies.
The controllers of this data may know who you are and may be
selling
detailed information about
what you search for
and
which pages you visit.
We recommend using
privacy-enhancing software
to stops cookies and help stay anonymous.
