Have you reclaimed your data from Acxiom yet?

Acxiom is one of the largest data brokers in the game today. They have claimed to have over a thousand data points on the majority of adults in the united states alone. Data companies like this have been around since the ‘60s and it is time we start taking back our data!

“Company executives have said its database contains information about 500 million active consumers worldwide, with about 1,500 data points per person. That includes a majority of adults in the United States.” - Mapping, and Sharing, the Consumer Genome – NYTimes

That quote is about Acxiom and we are about to opt out of that nonsense.
