MyDataRemoval vs Redact

MyDataRemoval helps US residents remove personal information from people-search websites and data brokers. Human review and algorithms locate data, submit removal requests and report which sites held it and when it was removed. Covered sites are scanned each month because removed information can reappear. The covered-sites page lists 232 sites, including 23 premium sites reserved for Premium plans. Free Scan costs nothing, requires no card and shows exposed data without removing it. Standard costs $8.33 a month, billed $99.99 per year, and includes people-search and major-broker removals, monthly monitoring and up to five addresses per individual. Premium costs $499 a year and adds the 23 premium sites and priority support. The web service offers family coverage, assisted requests and periodic removal.

Redact is an app for bulk deleting or editing posts, comments, likes, messages and other content across more than 35 services. Users can filter by keywords, hashtags, date range and content type, then preview items before deletion. Supported services include Twitter/X, Facebook, Discord, Reddit, TikTok, Instagram, Bluesky, LinkedIn, Threads and Slack. The free plan covers the last 30 days of Twitter/X, Discord and Facebook content, plus Reddit history anonymization at any date. Premium adds unlimited deletion, major social platforms and scheduled recurring cleanup; Ultimate adds professional platforms such as LinkedIn and Slack, advanced filtering and priority support. For social and messaging cleanup, credentials and content pass directly between the user's device and the service; Redact receives de-identified usage and diagnostic information. A local archive can save content to the device before deletion, but it is off by default. Deletion speed depends on platform rate limits, supported content types vary, and integrations may pause when platforms change. Redact says deleted content cannot be restored or copies made by others removed.
