Show HN: Simple Opt Out – Makes it easier to opt out of data sharing
The most egregious sharing and it results directly in identity theft is the sharing of your financial information after getting a credit card.<p>I didn't have my own credit card until a couple months ago. I am <i>old</i>. As soon as that thing landed, I now get a constant stream of junk mail with my name and contact info plastered all over it telling me I need insurance, annuities, death insurance, more credit cards, financial management, etc.<p>This should be illegal.<p>The banks should be 100% on the hook for identity theft, they caused this themselves. Infact, I signed up for the Amazon Prime Card and they incessantly try to get me to upgrade to "account protection". How about YOU protect my account,  you sent me the card (which appears to NOT have a mag stripe or a chip and pin, rendering it useless except online), how about you only authorize its use for Prime purchases shipped to my house? I really should stop using Amazon. Garbage.
