Any attempt to revoke consent in a no-consent industry is futile. What's not futile is taking control of your computers and not running their proprietary spyware software in the first place.

    I guess it goes the slow way too by sending them an email with your info and that you dont have any number or email access, requesting them to delete everything.

    In EU they are obliged to respond and do it (don't know the timeframe), or you can sue.
