> After many years working at data brokers
So you worked for years at (immoral) data harvesters but now you're a changed man who pinky swears to not use people's data they submit to you in a bad way? Sorry, I don't trust this product yet.

Speaking from personal experience, you can reform yourself.
I 100% agree that people can reform themselves, but I also can just as easily see it not happening. Currently the product is "trust me" with little other than that as far as I can see. If they go the distance to make sure everything is fully transparent then I would be more neutral. But when my personal data is on the line I try to be a bit more skeptical.
If they asked for ssn, mother’s maiden name, and my third grade teachers name upon signup, ok yeah I’d pass. But it was no more than a google of my name and city/state already returns from these data brokers.
I find the skepticism here a little amusing considering the amount of data we share without even thinking about it - stuff that’s way more identifying and sensitive than your name and current city/state.
