Hi Lauren,

I thought it was very interesting that you were not able to find much information about yourself. The way that you assemble the report leads to a thoughtful conclusion about privacy vs. data accuracy and transparency. The headers really helped to break up your search into manageable chunks, and you have effective images to help prove your point.

In terms of writing and formatting, I think you could benefit from a few more images. However, I do have deeper questions for you, especially given the fact that it does appear that you use social media. How do you construct your social media identity? Is it a more accurate reflection of yourself than the data broker gives? Is it "authentic to you"? Or is it performative in some other way? Hearing this would allow me to better understand your personal approach to your own data. Additionally, if someone where able to "string together" your data identity across multiple platforms and data brokers, would they be able to fish out something closer to the true you? Adding these personal touches would round out your essay contents.
