According to its Privacy Policy, Data Facts is governed by the Federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (“FCRA”) and laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) do not apply to activities conducted under the FCRA. Nonetheless, they allow Californian residents to exercise their Data Privacy Rights under the CCPA. Unfortunately, the document provides very little instructions for persons looking to have their Personal Information deleted and little control is granted to the average American consumer over their Information.
Data Facts is a company operating with huge quantities of data in order to prepare consumer reports. Such companies are useful to corporations to whom data is a valued currency.

Nonetheless, with existing Data Privacy laws, you can make a request to prohibit Data Facts from selling your Personal Information and even delete that Information from their databases. You have the Right – now it’s time to exercise it.
Opting Out and Deleting Your Personal Information
Data Facts hasn’t provided much for consumers wishing to opt out of their data-selling campaigns or to have their Personal Information deleted from the company’s databases.
