How did Health I.Q. Life Insurance Get My Mailing Address

if you start getting junk mail from Stormfront then you know it was Letsrun

Let's count the ways.

1) Previous races.

2) online race results w/your name

3) the face book

4) Amazon orders with some type of running supply

5) Running warehouse purchases

6) Runners World Subscription

7) You searched something on Google related to running. Google knows who you are

8) Local running store sold your info

9) I'm sure there are many other ways.

Thanks for these ideas. Here's my history:

1) One race in 2016 through Active.com. Several races 2012 and earlier. Would think most of that info is too old to be valuable.

2) Same as 1)

3) One posting in 2009 regarding a race. Several Facebook friends run and post about it.

4) I don't think I've made any Amazon orders of running related items since 2011. However, this is one I didn't think of. I hope that Amazon isn't selling my home address.

5) Last online purchase of running items was in 2015.

6) No Running Times subscription since 2011

7) Have searched Google for running related things. Hope Google isn't selling my home address.

8) Last local running store purchase was 2011.

9) Yes, I imagine there are many other ways that my info is collected and aggregated to make a profile that's valuable to sell or "rent" to other companies.

So far it's not really concerning for me but it does make you wonder when it will cross the line, which will likely be sooner rather than later because companies take the "better to ask forgiveness than permission" approach. The recent Facebook issue of passing along a user's friends' info was ridiculous.

It just happens as it is - this services that buy and sell things like to get your personal data and they just don't care about where did it comes from. They just take and use it. For sure it's a lucky shot, but it just works.

I have bad news for you

This is getting a little bit intimidating honestly because personal information is no longer secure online, even though they assure you that their server is trustworthy. It happened to me not once, but multiple times to get junk mail from companies that I didn't even know existed and never correlated to. It's no longer a secret that our personal information is sold for marketing purposes, but one is to get emails and newsletters and another is to get mail delivered directly to your home. And if the post is somehow about life insurance that I can share that I get mine from https://www.lifenetinsurance.com.

You're right, but I don't pay attention to it. I don't want to be always intimidated by such things. It's not right, they don't have the right, but they still do it, so we can't do much.

Maybe you have left in other places such information and without any kind of awareness that third party “resource” shared with other companies, including your life-insurance happening as example. I’m always cautions with my personal data, and don’t use many types of social media including Facebook, TikTok, Instagram. Because they spy on everyone. One thing I was considered to do, without all this points included, is purchasing private health insurance. That will bring me more hours of sleep with joy on my face. Because, don’t see anything to be more serious right now, than this.
