You can't use Apple Pay or Google Pay if you're shopping in-store at Walmart. Kativ/Getty Images When I stop by Walmart on my way home from the gym, I don't always have my wallet on me.

You say “connect to that phone”, iroh will find & maintain the fastest connection for you, regardless of where it is.

Maria Diaz/ZDNET Data removal services began to appear around 15 years ago, after data brokers realized that data could become a new, valuable currency -- and one ripe for exploitation, given the lack of laws and little to no consumer data privacy protection written into legislation. Incogni and DeleteMe, founded in 2021 as part of VPN provider Surfshark and in 2010 by Abine Privacy, respectively, are two of the most widely-known data removal services in the US.
