Permission Slip by CR for Positive User Reviews

The real dealHelped me delete data from a dozen companies so far, can’t wait to see more added to the list. Nice to have someone looking out for people instead of companies for a change..Version: 1.0

Nice app but screen display is faultyI’ve been a Consumer Reports subscriber for decades and recently learned of this app. I installed it today on my iPhone 13 Pro and noticed right away that wording within the app is super huge and that some items extend off the screen. I was able to set it up and configure many settings. However there are items at the bottom of the screen that are cut off as they extend beyond the visible screen area. Also, when stepping through the companies selections and trying to configure them i often see the Learn More button covered up by the Skip This Company link which seems superimposed over the other. These issues need to be fixed to make the app truly usable. My phone is running the very latest IOS..Version: 1.0.2

Easy, informative and empowering!Everything I needed and more! I’ve always been so overwhelmed by where my data lives, what it’s being used for, let alone how I can control it. I’m learning so much from Permission Slip, and feel like I finally have some power back. Thank you PS!.Version: 1.0

Great idea - UI enhancements neededFantastic idea and the app does seem to work to remove your data from third parties. 4 stars because sometimes the app displays a screen that the user cannot take action on (I.e., you’re stuck). I’m running most current iOS..Version: 1.0.4

Email addressGreat concept…… however there is no way to correct your email address!! How to delete incorrect email address & put in the correct info?.Version: 1.2.0

Data Rights for All!This type of authorized agent app is a key step toward ensuring everybody can exercise the data rights we have under laws like CCPA, GDPR, etc. Great to see this finally happening!.Version: 1.0

Appreciate having the serviceDue to my limitation in technology and the change of technology. To have some thing that can assist me in removing my private information is very much appreciated.Version: 1.2.2

Take back what’s mineA great way to improve the privacy of my data so corporate actors can’t use it for their own benefit without my permission. Eager for them to grow the range of companies included..Version: 1.0

Assuming It WorksAssuming it works, it’s awesome. I’ve had one company agree to stop selling my info that I didn’t even know had my info, but 3 other sleazeballs flat-out refuse so far: cvs, intuit and yahoo. However, when this happens, the app doesn’t give you the option to go back and tell the company to delete your info altogether, or to stop stealing it to begin with, especially without prior permission and compensation. Also, a list of sleazeball companies that refuse the requests should be compiled and made very public in order to try and force them to stop stealing and profiting from the personal information of individuals, which by definition belongs only to each individual. Sleazeball denials so far: versium, walmart, starbucks, kohl’s, merkle, intuit, yahoo and cvs..Version: 1.2.2

Wonderful AppI recently tried the Consumer Reports app, Permission Slip, on my iPhone and it's impressively effective for managing digital privacy. Its user-friendly interface offers to submit consumer rights requests. The app runs smoothly, integrating well with iOS, though it could benefit from more personalized recommendations. Overall, it's a vital tool for anyone prioritizing digital privacy, meriting a solid 5/5 stars..Version: 1.2.2

Excellent App!Initial attempts to create an account failed, very likely because of demand for the app. Waited a couple hours and all went smoothly. Within another couple hours was able to begin the process of requesting that data not be sold, or deleting accounts altogether. Layout is easy to navigate - deck of cards is brilliant. Great app!.Version: 1.2.0

Well designed app for safeguarding personal infoThis app is very elegant and functional. It allowed me to see what companies have access to my personal info, and prevent them from selling that info. It seems to parse through the fine print and legalese of each individual user agreement I’ve signed and shows me some easy options for safeguarding my info. I did some of this manually, then found the ‘auto request’ feature which seems to work well at just automating my privacy requests..Version: 1.0

App doesn’t work. Complete WASTEUpdate:Since my initial review, the system capacity has been increased and now the app is working. I have sent many requests to various websites to ot share my date, so now I am awaiting responses to determine the effectiveness of this app. The app never sends a confirmation email, which is necessary to move forward with any request. What a WASTE!!!!.Version: 1.2.0

Hangs UpUnfortunately I cannot get past “Got It” where it hangs up with the rotating circle. Edit: It seems to be working properly now..Version: 1.2.0

Seamless and easy to useGreat interface and important to stop data tracking..Version: 1.0

Would be even nicer if the UI supported iPadIPads have nice big screens and snap-on keyboards. Some people even use them instead of laptops. It would be a lot easier to type in all the info we need to enter if the app was actually designed for the iPad’s full UI instead of a scrunched iPhone 4 UI. Apple has been bending backwards to make it easy for apps to incorporate adaptive layouts. You just have to make up your mind to do it, and stop listening to those silly PMs who say “iPads only have __% market share.” That might be true, but it’s the % you want the most. (iPads are also better for reading Consumer Reports. Just saying.).Version: 1.2.0

Great app Completely FreeThis is a great app that saves a lot of time and has no pay walls. I was able to submit over 60 data deletion request through this app in less than an hour. The app also has an auto delete feature, where it will send deletion request to data brokers who are harvesting and selling your information. Much needed. Highly appreciated. I shopped around for the same feature through several credit agencies, antivirus companies, and data deletion apps the average price for that service is about 60 bucks a month. Thank you Consumer Reports for bringing this much needed service to the people at no cost..Version: 1.2.0

Great way to stop/learn about 3rd party tracking!I’m a big fan of learning how things work behind the scenes and companies selling our data is something that’s confusing and really behind the scenes. A lot of companies make a lot of cabbage from us without us understanding how! Like how does a company sell Me-ness based off of the things I do online etc... ? Since that’s beyond my knowledge, although I’m learning more each day, I’d prefer they don’t go around selling gossip about me. This app does that!.Version: 1.0

Buggy upon release but better nowVery buggy to set up. Not really usable because of that. Update: has started working much better. One suggestion for improvement: several of my requests to stop selling data were denied because I don’t live in California. It would be good if there were a way to tailor the options depending upon the state one lives in..Version: 1.2.0

Fantastic privacy appI'm impressed with the user-friendly design of the Permission Slip app, which empowers everyday users to have greater control over their personal data. Kudos to Consumer Reports for their commendable work. I was easily able to request enhanced privacy from several services I frequently use. Data collected by each service was clearly summarized..Version: 1.2.0

My data agent…Companies harvest and sell our data for profit. It’s often done without our consent. Have you heard of a data broker? They’ve heard of you. This app makes it simple and fun to take back your data. It’s refreshing and empowering. Eager to see more firms on the list. Glad that the auto request feature is watching out for new actors..Version: 1.0

Please associate a urlPlease associate a URL with the app so that password manager on phone can find it Otherwise easy to use. It would be nice to have more companies added..Version: 1.2.0
