You can use the app right away, without creating an account. Add an email account if you want to check that account for companies that may have your data. Including your first name, last name, email, home address, phone number, and country when you make a request is not required, but it is a good idea because:
It verifies your identity, so no one can make a request in your name to try to get your data handed over.
Your data requests will be taken more seriously.
Responding to privacy requests can present a challenging task for companies. Sending your verified privacy request through PrivacyWallet gives companies the best start to deliver the data you want back to you safely.
