I'm the creator of https://opt-out.eu and I can confirm that you are correct. It works, in the vast majority of cases.


Hi, that link redirects me to https://es.opt-out.eu/ which then proceeds to fail loading due to a "failed secure connection" (literal translation from the message that appears in Firefox for Android)


Not sure why you're getting this, I'll look into it. Thanks for letting us know.


That's awesome, it's a real problem that I have to deal with. In my case Blizzard Entertainment refused to delete my information. They wanted me to actually send a copy of my passport to them in a physical letter to "verify" me. Crazy right? The entire idea of deleting my information is so that they do not possess even more information of mine. I might use this to contact them.


You are right, some companies (particularly in the US) are doing anything they can to make the process intolerable.


That's actually quite nice. Looks like all the data brokers will receive emails from me today :)

The last company I made erase me was cdon.com after I bought something on sale there and they demanded my SSN to pay with credit cards. I see that they are missing from your site, their DPO email is: dpo@cdon.com

I also like "This service does not collect or trade any personal data."


Thanks, I've added them.
