Just like PayPal. There's a table you can bring up that lists everyone you ever engaged with on paypal for recurring pricing, and deactivate them.
I've wanted exactly what you describe for years. Little Snitch taught me that there's just too much data that isn't organized properly. Even if you get down to the app level (like PowerPoint), it is still transceiving a lot of data. How do you tell what is necessary and what is dubious telemetry?
