DeleteMe vs Norton

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.

Norton (Gen Digital) collects some of the most sensitive personal data of any consumer service — Social Security numbers, bank account details, driver's licence numbers, and mother's maiden name for LifeLock identity monitoring — while simultaneously running a targeted advertising business that shares user, device, and website data with advertising partners; network traffic and screen activity are monitored for security purposes; and data flows broadly across Gen Digital's corporate group, distributors, resellers, marketing partners, and analytics providers, all retained for vaguely defined periods.
