&lt;p&gt;The three claims every VPN makes — no logs, no tracking, no data surrendered to governments — are easy to print on a marketing page and impossible to verify without independent evidence. &lt;a href="https://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-101817798-12814518?sid=nordvpn-vs-surfshark-vs-pia" target="_blank" rel="sponsored noopener"&gt;NordVPN&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="https://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-101817798-6282055?sid=nordvpn-vs-surfshark-vs-pia" target="_blank" rel="sponsored noopener"&gt;Surfshark&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href="https://www.privateinternetaccess.com"&gt;Private Internet Access&lt;/a&gt; all make those claims. The meaningful difference between them is what substantiates the claim: a third-party audit from a recognized firm, an actual court subpoena that produced nothing, or an open-source codebase that lets anyone inspect what the app sends.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>How to Opt Out of Acxiom, Epsilon, and Experian Lists</title><link>https://www.optout.ws/post/opt-out-acxiom-epsilon-experian-consumer-lists/</link><pubDate>Thu, 02 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.optout.ws/post/opt-out-acxiom-epsilon-experian-consumer-lists/</guid><description>
&lt;h2 id="three-opt-outs-three-different-processes"&gt;Three Opt-Outs, Three Different Processes&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Getting your name suppressed from &lt;a href="https://www.acxiom.com"&gt;Acxiom&lt;/a&gt;'s, &lt;a href="https://www.epsilon.com"&gt;Epsilon&lt;/a&gt;'s, and &lt;a href="https://www.experian.com"&gt;Experian&lt;/a&gt;'s marketing files is three separate jobs, not one. Each company operates its own data platform, runs its own opt-out process, and is under no obligation to coordinate with the others. Working through all three in a single session closes the most consequential doors in the U.S. consumer marketing data ecosystem, because these firms are among the largest suppliers of the lists that generate targeted direct mail, preapproved financial offers, and the digital advertising campaigns that follow consumers across websites and apps.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
