Footprint Cleaner
Shrink what the internet knows about you. Start with Simple: the steps that matter most, in under an hour. Your ticks stay in this browser; nothing you type is sent anywhere.
01 · Find yourself
See what a stranger sees. Write down every page that shows your name, address, phone number or photo: that's your list for the steps below.
02 · Lock down what you keep
Accounts you still use can stop collecting and showing more than they need to.
03 · Delete old accounts
Search your inbox for "welcome" and "confirm your email" to find accounts you forgot. Download your data before you delete. Mark the ones you never had as not mine, so they drop out of your total.
Type the services you used to find their delete pages. Advanced lists all of them.
Nothing matches. Try another search, or look the service up on its help pages.
04 · Opt out of data brokers
Data brokers collect and sell profiles of people who never signed up. Use a spare email address for opt-outs. Many relist you after a few months: step 07 sets a reminder.
Nothing matches. Try another search.
05 · Ask companies to erase your data
For companies that hold your data without an account you can delete. Pick them, fill in your details once, and send one Art. 17 GDPR letter to each from your own email app.
Pick at least one company above.
06 · Blur what's left
Some data can't be deleted. Make it less accurate instead, so the ads, feeds and profiles that target you miss.
07 · Keep it clean
A footprint grows back. These keep new data from piling up.
