DeleteMe vs Bitdefender

DeleteMe must collect your full personal identity — name, address, date of birth, aliases, family members — to remove it from data brokers, and while it confirms it never sells that data, the primary policy is a deliberately informal TLDR that defers partner data sharing to a separate Cookie Policy, ignores Do Not Track signals, and includes a broad business transfer clause that could expose your data if the company is ever sold.

Bitdefender is a Romanian cybersecurity company — EU member state jurisdiction, GDPR enforced by the Romanian DPA — with ISO 27001 and SOC2 Type 2 certifications, an explicit no-data-selling commitment, an anonymisation-first principle for technical data, and no advertising partner data sharing; the main caveats are that individual data processors are not named in the policy, technical security data can be retained for up to ten years, the website privacy policy explicitly provides no advance notice before changes, and marketing emails run on a legitimate interest basis for five years post-cancellation.
