Opt-out of third party information sharing:

Many online companies provide you with the option to remove your name from lists of information that may be shared with third parties (or "opt-out"). Some companies enable users to opt out easily. Users are often able to do so online. A number of companies go a step further and ask your permission (opt-in) before sharing personal information that they have collected. Often, however, companies make opting out difficult or virtually impossible: Addresses are buried, one cannot opt-out online, etc. CDT has created Operation Opt-Out to help you control how your personal data is collected and distributed.
