Mozilla Monitor Plus - $14/mo, or $108/yr. Too pricey for most. >Every month, we use the information you provided about yourself (name, location and birthdate) to search across ⁨190⁩ data broker sites that sell people’s private information. If we find your data on any of these sites, we initiate the request for removal. Data removal can take anywhere from a day to a month. This feature is available for ⁨Monitor Plus⁩ users only. Anyone know if there are any local/open source tools to do this?

I have used Permission Slip by CR with limited success. I use <website>@<personal-domain>.<tld>, and you cannot enter a wildcard in Permission Slip.

  I use this pattern but I'm starting to move away from it. Some things just don't work (ex. linking accounts between companies) and it also throws customer service agents into a panic when they see their own company name in the e-mail address. I'm also not sure it gets me that much. I do get to see how was compromised or sold my data, but most of that just goes to spam anyway. I also usually find out about the compromises from other sources anyway.

    Sure some of the CSA's panic a bit, but I've never had one not go along especially after explaining my purpose. I've not seen too many compromises, but some of them were not public. Especially with small businesses like a car dealership, they may never know themselves.

    Try just rot13 or hashing the website name.

We are working on a fully local version of this @ https://redact.dev https://redact.dev - Beta should be out within a month or so. Huge (obvious) advantages for doing it locally
