Are there any other companies like lexisnexis?
I apologize in advance of this is too basic a question for this community.
I just learned about lexisnexis and went to their website to request my report, opt out of everything I could, and request my information be deleted.
Are there any other companies like this I should be aware of so I can make the same requests there?
If it matters, I'm in California and it's my understanding that I have a few more rights concerning this sort of thing than some others do.

Yes, they are called data brokers and there are a lot of them, e.g. Acxiom, Kochava, Huq, X-Mode, SafeGraph and many more
And there's plenty of credit score bureaus outside the big three, and they collect similar information and may not be lumped in with data brokers like LexisNexus.
I guess you could have a look at the free scan with Mozilla Monitor? I'd be worried less about LN, and more about all the shadier sites scraping public records and blasting your info all over the place. LN costs a fortune to use, while all the zillions ofscrapers just hemorrhage your data all over the place. You ever googled yourself?
