Huh.

Consumer Reports (CR) has released a mobile app (iOS, Android on the way) that shows what data companies collect about you, then allows you to have CR get the data deleted:

Essentially, CR will act as the data ombudsman for anyone who asks them to. I love it.

CR is a non-profit that accepts no advertising or corporate sponsorship, and they have a great reputation. It's a superb choice to take on the data capitalists.

US-only (don't @ me).

@vmbrasseur here's hoping their reviews start being a *lot* more granular about what features do and do not work on a product when it is denied internet access/when you don't set up an account with the manufacturer/without a smartphone app, and the same for any APIs offered.
