Personally, these services are all a bit sketchy anyway. Mostly because they advertise themselves as the magic bullet to remove all your unwanted personal data from the internet, but ignores that this removal relies on the cooperation of the third parties in possession of your data. Most notably, this won't work if your data has been exposed in a data breach.

To me it very much feels like VPN ads. Technically a working product, but advertised in a very dishonest way.

    VPN use should warrant the same privacy concerns. They can tell they respect your privacy all they want, nobody can control that.

    And they've got a huge incentive to sellling your data.

    Privateinternetaccess.com's VPN servers log nothing, and run their entire systems in RAM. If you want a VPN that's truly private, use them. They can't sell your data, because they retain nothing to sell.
