a shoutout to https://yourdigitalrights.org/ which is a nonprofit which tries to tackle this.

I haven’t used it yet, and it feels rough around the edges. I donated however and talked to their founder and I think this model fits better than a commercial one. The way it’s built you don’t actually share any data with them. They essentially provide templates to make erasure requests and follow-ups easier.



I love the idea, but they're horrible in practice. Provide very little help for most data brokers. And the opt out links are out of data for many sites.


Hi Varenc, I'm the founder of YourDigitalRights.org and I'd love to hear your specific feedback either here or via email (address is on the website). That would be greatly appreciated.
