NoDossier vs Redact

NoDossier helps people in the UK identify data brokers and prepare personal-data erasure requests. Its browser-based request builder and tracker do not send names, addresses, or phone numbers to a server, and they use no analytics, advertising pixels, or cookies. The public register contains 25 broker entries across six markets, with 24 routes checked and one awaiting human verification. Request wording reflects the broker’s legal basis, including legitimate-interest objections and requests involving consent or direct marketing. The tracker calculates the one-month response deadline and moves it to the next working day when necessary. If a broker misses the deadline, it can prepare an Information Commissioner’s Office complaint. The site says its database has no identity-document field, so users send requested proof directly to brokers. The free DIY plan costs nothing, is free forever rather than a trial, and requires no account. A paid “We do it for you” tier is not on sale. NoDossier does not guarantee erasure and is not a law firm or legal adviser.

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.
