Own Your Personal Information
Did you know it was perfectly legal for credit companies like Equifax to collect private financial information about you (including salary and employment records) without your permission and sell it to other companies for profit? It's ridiculous and wrong, but this is what they're doing to American citizens every day. We should own our private information. If companies want it they should have to request it from their customers. Tell Congress to act on behalf of the citizens to stop big companies like Equifax and others from stealing our private information and profiting with it by signing this petition.
Why is this important?
This petition is about alerting my fellow Americans to the fact that credit companies like Equifax and others are taking private financial information of its customers and selling it to other companies to make profit, and trying to get Congress to act to stop this in its tracks.
