working on making an installer to hopefully avoid the CLI steps but I'm going to take a break this weekend and respond to PRs on Monday + hopefully push the installer

glad you like it - PrivacyBot is for the people :)
it's so crazy to see someone I don't know using this lol. glad it worked for you , make sure you remove the permissions from gmail!
So we didn't push it to the public repo but our previous version used python's SMTP module and could support any email client. Other's have asked for this so maybe I'll make a new branch with this on there. It might require a little extra work tho
Also the UI allows for different "options" so to speak so there is our top choices, all data drokers, and the exhaustive list.

Our video (posted in other comment) talks about this a little more

so in short no, but what you can do is only send bare minimum required (name + email +state) and then you can manually do any follow up if they require more. Hope this helps!
yeah we want to do an installer so that all the install stuff will be way easier- it will basically be a desktop app. In terms of webapp - no because we don't want to ever risk processing (even temporarily) user PII.
Heyyo - this is my capstone project for grad school. You can see a demo video here: https://youtu.be/B24EYAAXpAE

And also visit our FAQ on the landing page

basically its a locally run flask app + react UI that uses python logic + the gmail api to craft CCPA data deletes from your own email to a big ole' data broker list we made (~500+ services). If you have more questions I can drop our email and feel free to reach out :)
