Redact.dev VS Removaly

We are working on a fully local version of this @ https://redact.dev - Beta should be out within a month or so. Huge (obvious) advantages for doing it locally. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

You can trust them only as much as you think they have self interest in not being sued for doing something nefarious. That said, they could very easily have a data breach and every customers full 'dox' would then be out in the wild. Were not talking about ordinary payment details either, just full on dox - every address you have lived at, your license scan, your names, phone numbers, its crazy. I made a post lower... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

Some things to note, unless the bill was modified from the version I read: This doesnt apply to any information which is public record as a matter-of-fact. So if you voted, your address and name is public record and can be used and displayed by these sites. If you got a DUI, your mugshot and arrest record may be public record and can be displayed. If you got into a custody battle and your court case was public,... - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

Is this a whitelabeled version of saymine? Seems like the same type of service. For what its worth, I think you need to go much farther than this. Saying "delete my account" does not do what you think it does for the vast majority of services. For instaince, take reddit or discord. When you 'delete your account' it does not actually delete your data. It just removes your email and changes your account handle to... - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

A huge part of what we are building at https://redact.dev is a unified software suite for managing all data. To date, that has mostly been data you create yourself ( tweets, fb posts, discord DM's, emails, etc.. ) but the bigger challenge is creating a simple UI that allows people to manage all this data about you thats floating out there. Its not just data broker removals- Its alexa recordings, youtube search... - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

Use a site like Removaly. They scan every day to ensure instances of personal information stay off, even if and when they do come back. No other service scans daily (most are monthly or quarterly). Source: over 1 year ago

Once your address is out there it's pretty difficult to get it down. That said, you can use a service like Removaly (the one I created with a fellow redditor) to make sure people search sites aren't posting your address for anyone to easily find from a simple Google search. Source: over 1 year ago

I founded Removaly with a fellow redditor and would be happy to give you a discount & help in any other way I can 👍. Source: over 1 year ago

You're better off going with a comparatively priced service that is actually US-based and doesn't cater to data brokers by playing both sides of the field. I co-own one such service, Removaly. Happy to answer any questions you may have about data removal in general. Source: over 1 year ago

The sites that sell it all offer an opt out process though. There are services like Removaly (that I created) that will find / remove your information from these sites. Source: over 1 year ago
