Since you won’t be making the removal requests personally, companies need a way to verify that the request is legitimate. Otherwise, anyone with your basic information could send a request to Spotify or Netflix and request that they delete your account.
The Authorization form proves that we are authorized to make the removal request on your behalf and that companies are not putting themselves in danger by complying.
The scope of the Authorization form you've signed:
- We are authorized to contact data brokers and request them to remove any data they have about you.
- If they refuse to comply, we can inform local data protection agencies about it in the form of a complaint.
- The Authorization form is only valid until we get confirmation from the data broker that they removed (or didn’t find) your data. It automatically loses any power once it’s done.
NOTE: After updating your primary profile information, you will be prompted to sign a new authorization form.
