CLUSTER DATA-BROKERS-OPT · 4 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-08-20
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).
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Ranked by traction, highest first, and paged 20 at a time — this is a window on the cluster, never the whole of it. Ties are broken by a stable id so a product cannot appear on two pages or fall between them. Browse every cluster.
