The first one is The Vault. I actually used this last week. I like the protections. I immediately went and took my name off of all of these public sites that sell your information, not only emails, but the reduction in snail mail that I received right after I did that, incredible. Of course, the vault does a lot more, but I used it for subscriptions, and I found yet another subscription. I had just gone through all my subscriptions, thought that I get rid of everything. It turns out that I had yet another subscription that's gonna end up saving me about $250 a year. Cha ching. Keep the subscriptions you value. Get rid of the rest.
