Description

With so much of our information online and at risk from getting hacked, you may be wondering if it’s possible to scrub yourself from the internet.  Unfortunately, you’ll probably never delete everything about you online, but you can minimize how much information is out there. However, it’s going to take a lot of time, patience, and money.  Heather Kelly, tech reporter at The Washington Post, joins Oscar Ramirez for what to know about deleting your data online.

We’re seeing more and more retail stores and apps offering this service and getting in on the action.

Claire Ballentine, personal finance reporter at Bloomberg News, joins Oscar Ramirez for more.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
