Is DoNotPay legit?

Curious about DoNotPay and their data scrubbing/data breach "auto-suing" capabilities, but is it a legit service? Does anyone have experience?

They ask for an awful lot of personal information for a consumer protection/privacy advocate service, but I'm interested in their product for a variety of reasons.

I know my information was involved in a few data breaches in the past - if I "sue" through an auto-service like this am I opening up a world of shit for myself? If I ask them to auto-scrub my info from data brokers, will it just make things worse for me?

I'd also love to recommend it to a friend who is trying to file unemployment, but not if the app is bullshit and makes life worse.

I'm looking to hear from people with personal experience with the app itself. My research shows a lot of PR and articles about how great they are, but I'm coming up short on finding actual experiences from actual people.

Response by poster: I'm looking for feedback from people who have used the app, or perhaps knows someone who has - less interested in speculation/opinions

You might want to check the apple app store for literally thousands of reviews of DoNotPay.
