Zeg eens op!

Zeg eens op, in hoeveel databases heb je een account en komen je gegevens voor? Reken trouwens maar op tientallen of honderden.

Dat is ook een reden waarom identiteitsfraude steeds meer voorkomt, er zijn gewoon meer gegevens te vinden. Maar ook de overheid zelf maakt grif gebruik van al die gegevens, door o.a. databanken aan elkaar te koppelen.

Afgezien hiervan gebruiken bedrijven zelf natuurlijk dolgraag je data, meestal voor commerciële doeleinden. Op zich prima, zeker als je dit zelf weet als gebruiker en ermee hebt ingestemd. Lees bijvoorbeeld eens artikel 2B van de voorwaarden van Linkedin: daarin staat op bijna humoristische wijze dat ze echt álles mogen doen met je gegevens. Trouwens ook nadat je je account hebt opgezegd.

Al met al vinden we dat je je account moet kunnen opzeggen bij internetsites, liefst natuurlijk mét verwijdering van je gegevens. Vaak maken sites het al erg lastig je account op te zeggen, vanwege die commerciële belangen (klantenbinding). Soms is het zelfs onmogelijk om je gegevens te verwijderen. Als zo'n site daar geen goede reden voor geeft, dan kun je ervan uitgaan dat ze liefst tot in de eeuwigheid van je gegevens gebruik willen maken om geld te verdienen.

Het is dus vaak lastig te zien of/hoe je account op te zeggen is. Daarom heeft Babalin de site AccountKiller gelanceerd. Dit is een overzicht met tientallen sites waar je een account kunt hebben. Per site staat de snelste manier aangegeven hoe van je account af te komen. Als dit erg lastig of onmogelijk is, komt zo'n site op de zwarte lijst. Je kunt zelf ook sites opgeven voor in de lijst.

Ook handig dus om vooraf te kijken: als je ergens een account wilt aanmaken - kun je die wel opzeggen? Check het op www.accountkiller.com.

Gratis tip: over accounts gesproken, je kunt binnenkort nog makkelijker overstappen van de ene naar de andere bank. Het wordt namelijk gauw mogelijk om je rekeningnummer te behouden, dus geen gedonder meer met (automatische) boekingen van en naar verouderde nummers.

Delete it

Tell us, in how many databases do you have an account and can data be found about you? The answer: hundreds.
This is also a reason for identity fraud: there are simply more and more data to be found.

But also the government loves to use all those databases, and link them to generate interesting information.

Apart from this, companies themselves are eager to use your data, mostly for commercial purposes. Fine, of course, if you - the user - are aware of this and agreed to 'the rules'. For example, read article 2B of Linkedin's user agreement: it says, nearly in a funny way, that the site can do nearly anything with your data, even after having deleted your account.

All in all we think you should be able to delete your account on internet sites, preferably with complete removal of your data. Often, sites create difficulty to delete your account, because of those commercial purposes (customer retention). Sometimes it is even impossible to delete your account. If such as site does not state a clear reason for doing so, you can bet their reason is 'making money' as long as possible with your data.

It is often hard to find out how to delete your account. Because of that, the site AccountKiller was launched. This is an overview of many sites where you can have an account. For every site you can read the fastest way to get rid of your account. If this is very hard or impossible, a site ends up on the black list. You can also submit sites yourself, if they're not yet on the list.

So, it is also smart to check the site in advance, before creating an account somewhere, if such an account can be deleted at all.
