How to Opt-Out of Revolut sharing your data with Credit Bureaus and Advertisers

Oh God, I sound like one those old people on Facebook posting "Facebook don't have the right to share my data, this status confirms that."
No offence "Old People", that's not how shit works ...except in this case with the totally-not-slave-drivers FinTech company, Revolut.


Synopsis from Silicon Republic:
From 12 November, Revolut will share user data with credit bureaus, social media companies and analytics firms.


Hot Take from Luke:
Revolut is starting to share your data, for advertising and with Credit Bureaus. A lot of cunts being cunts here. Credit Bureaus are the US thing they talk about on TV Shows about "My Credit Rating is so bad..."
The Credit Bureaus sharing is bad, real bad. Equifax was hacked and people who were not even using them as a Credit Bureau got their data leaked. They claim to have 88 Million Users, yet 143 Million People's data got leaked.
This left people open to Identity Theft and the resultant use of their credit cards would further damage their Credit Rating, making it so poor that they'll have to shit in a dumpster behind Taco Bell, and use a Broken Glass bottle to wipe.

Here's how to Opt-Out, it's a two step process.

These steps are shown in more step by step detail on TheNextWeb, but here are my shortcuts.

Step 1. Opt-Out of Targeted Advertising

Using the bottom navigation menu, go to Dashboard -> Settings Icon ⚙ -> Privacy -> Targeted Marketing, and toggle it Off.

Step 2. Opt-Out of sharing data with Credit Bureaus

Now it's time to act like an old person on Facebook. Here's the pain in the fucking arse bit, it's not as bad as wiping your ass with a broken glass bottle out the back of Taco Bell.

This step is done in the Support Chat feature.

On the Dashboard, beside the Settings Icon ⚙  there's a Chat Icon 💬, you need to select New Chat.

Here's where they pull the fucking piss, by confusing you with "Onboarding shite". Stay focused young Grasshopper

Enter "Live Agent" to speak to a not robot, then enter: 

"I wish to Opt-Out from sharing my Personal Data with Credit Bureaus."

For reference, this is what my successful chat looked like:

And this is how they try to confustigate you with Onboarding Shite:

Maybe call them "Cunts" for good measure.
