Spam messages, in the form of emails and texts, are “unsolicited commercial messages” sent either to advertise a new product or to trick people into sharing sensitive information through a process called phishing (more about phishing below).
What happens if a group or organization does manage to acquire my information? Am I able to do something to make them get rid of my information? The idea that companies can simply just take my information without my knowledge is already very scary to me but random groups having that same, if not more information is even scarier. So is there a way to get my information back or will that group always have my information stored in their databases?
