    They do have a free tier, and while it doesn’t auto request your data removal they can at least notify you which data brokers have your info so you can make the requests manually yourself. https://monitor.mozilla.org/

    Edit: The data removal features are currently available only in the US according to their FAQ:

    Why is data removal only available in the US? When will it be available in my country?

    Data removal is only available in the US because of legislation that allows data brokers to operate there. In many other countries and in regions like the EU, laws like GDPR prevent these websites from collecting and selling people’s personal information without their consent. We’re exploring ways to expand protection and personal data removal outside of the US where needed.

        I did what you were too busy to do. I clicked the link.

        It’s about data brokers. It says so repeatedly on the page you didn’t visit.

        Mozilla Monitor used to be just for monitoring breaches but they have recently added in the ability for you to monitor your own personal information that databrokers have on you.

        Edit: According to their FAQ it looks like this has geographic restraints, I’ll update my original comment.
