Show HN: Remove your data from 100 platforms without signing up
Hi HN,
I run a cold email agency. Over the years, I’ve received a lot of replies like “Where did you get my data?”
That made me look deeper into how personal data is scraped, bundled, and resold across dozens of platforms. What surprised me most was the irony: most privacy tools require you to create an account, submit ID, or start a subscription just to remove your data.
So I built Offlist.me, generate opt-out emails in one click to remove your data from 100+ sites. Emails are drafted directly in your email client(website or app).
NO SIGN UP, NO DASHBOARD, NO EXPENSIVE SUBSCRIPTION
I’m mainly looking for feedback from the HN crowd: Is this something people would pay for?
I really appreciate any honest feedback (positive or negative).

If you are really wanting to provide this service, you would provide templates and let people fill in their own info.
One change I’m actively considering based on feedback like this is removing personal info inputs entirely and defaulting to: select platforms > generate email directly on your own email app/website.
On pricing: the goal wasn’t to hide that it isn’t free, but to avoid subscriptions and data lock-in. The app is free to use to generate email removal requests for up to 3 platforms (+3 if you share with your social media). So the free user can generate email removal requests for 6 platforms(any 6 from the 100+ available platforms according to their priority).
That said, I agree that even a small payment raises the trust bar significantly for a privacy tool.
This feedback is helpful, and I really appreciate it. Feel free to let me know if you have any questions.
I’m curious how people here handle this today: fully DIY, scripts, or any tool?
Offlist is just a tool to make opt out process easier.
Btw, I will be definitely looking more in to your feedback and update the app accordingly in the future.
