Data Shield requires an identity profile so broker removal requests can be matched to your listings. That profile may include your legal name, aliases, date of birth, current and previous addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, and the names of household relatives, along with your signed third-party authorization.
We keep that information only while it is needed to file on your behalf. Ninety days after your Data Shield plan is cancelled or expires, or after you revoke your authorization, we automatically purge the identity profile and delete the stored signature and authorization documents. Billing and dispute records are retained without that personal detail.
Data Shield is available only to people aged 18 or over, signing for themselves. To deter signer fraud we require an explicit attestation of identity, age, and authority, and we record the signing time, IP address, and device details with each authorization. Signing on another person's behalf without their permission is prohibited and may be unlawful.
