1. Get out of marketing data bases. They all allow you to opt out, if you can find them. For example, you can block your name from being used by any of Epsilon's clients, including catalog marketers and retailers. One big problem: The database company might retain your name and just block it from being used. If a thief hacks in, he gets the blocked names, too.
