- 56 of 101 Majority of catalog listed rows are categorized People Search, the largest category in this catalog (15 categories total). Category is a PrivacyFix label on the row, not a legal classification.
- 65 of 101 Majority of catalog rows carry a PrivacyFix difficulty score of 1 or 2. 28 scored 3 and 8 scored 4 or 5. Difficulty is this catalog's editorial score of the published opt-out path, not an industry hardness ranking.
