Are there any paid services that will do the work to opt you out of all of these?

I've seen a few, including https://www.privacyduck.com/ https://www.privacyduck.com/ , but I don't know how well they work.

I'd love a privacy union. So much that I could see letting it make decisions for me until I naturally worried about the privacy implications

Seriously, I'd pay 100 dollars right now if someone just handled this all for me. And I'm sure at least a few thousands of others would too. Sounds like a decent startup idea to me. Edit to add: I did read the other comments. joindeleteme seems like a scam/money grab. Yearly sub that autorenews, and a BBB rating displayed? Give me a real tech service.

  Better yet, one that sends paper opt-outs by registered mail to maximize removal cost and receipt confirmation. It’s not expensive when there’s 100 names in 8pt font in each envelope.

    That's actually a fantastic idea. Like that one service here not long ago that sent letters to Chase opting out of arbitration. Some company that can figure out the exact verbiage needed and contact address, and send off as needed. With enough updates and utility, that I'd consider a monthly subscription for.
