    How can they know it’s your data without first collecting your data to compare it?

    “Give us your personal information so we can ask others to delete your personal information” just doesn’t sound like a trustworthy offer.

      I can also see the irony. But I can’t imagine another way to do it at any scale. Do you know of another option?

        Something akin to haveibeenpwned.com password hash partial match? Can that even be done with this data?

        Edit: You goofs know you can calculate the hash locally and submit it for review without actually exposing your password to them right? That’s how bitwarden does it’s check. https://www.troyhunt.com/ive-just-launched-pwned-passwords-version-2/#cloudflareprivacyandkanonymity

        Ah, but Mozilla isn’t even trying to do anything cool like that. They just use onereap and those fuckers look shady. Quotes from their privacy policy: https://onerep.com/privacy-policy#what-data-we-collect-and-how-we-do-that

      Unless you trust Mozilla. I’m unaware of another organization that is more trustworthy, despite the haters mad that CEOs make money.
