Data broker opt-out tools

This cluster comprises privacy-focused tools that automate or guide users through submitting opt-out, deletion, and DMCA requests to data brokers and people-search sites. The cluster's dated history is too thin to read a shape from – it predates the index or its members are undated, with zero dated entries before the index start. Among members with activity signals, eraser leads on traction with 14 stars, followed by afaro (2 stars) and privacy-control-center (1 star).
