03The new request
The returned data has been removed again.
Data Knight sent a new removal request. The returned data was removed a second time. Always-on Protection remains active to detect further reappearances.
I’ve always been careful about my privacy online, so I was surprised to see how much was still out there! I authorised Data Knight to request its removal, and most results came quickly. Some brokers and websites are resisting, but I’m hopeful. In any case, I can see Data Knight sending follow-ups!
A real, anonymised case. Étienne is a fictional name. The customer approved the original French quote; this is its English translation. Visuals are reconstructed, with no real personal data. The second removal of the returned data is confirmed. The quote describes the customer’s experience at the time of his testimonial. Three months is the interval observed in this case, not a general recurrence rate.
