    How can they know it’s your data without first collecting your data to compare it?

    “Give us your personal information so we can ask others to delete your personal information” just doesn’t sound like a trustworthy offer.

      Likely you must provide Mozilla with basic identifying data like name and birth date. Which isn’t all that radical since you’re giving them quite a bit more by paying them.

      Unless you trust Mozilla. I’m unaware of another organization that is more trustworthy, despite the haters mad that CEOs make money.

          $6.9MM is a perfectly reasonable compensation package for a $500MM organization and is probably low to attract a significant number of quality candidates.

            Just no. My CEO runs a much larger organisation than Mozilla corp and her salary is 1m€ per year (public information), and that’s perfectly adequate.

      It’s better when it’s in their hands, because:

      1. It’s Mozilla - one of the more trusty organizations out there.
      2. They don’t get your information in some sneaky way from some source that was never supposed to be available to them.
      3. You know exactly how they make money from your data.

      It’s ironic yeah, but if trust is the only way to implement something like this, then Mozilla is probably the one company I would trust considering they’re a non-profit org.

      There isn’t a better company to do this than mozzila. I mean there literally are but in practice this is a good thing

      The way I see it, if you’re asking for data removal, it’s because your identity is public online already, the company has nothing else to gain maybe other than the payment information and you can get a new card if they just happened to be untrustworthy.
