// the problem

Challenge

Individuals have no practical way to remove personal data scattered across hundreds of data brokers. Manual removal is tedious, time-consuming, and data reappears within months.

// what we built

Solution

Built a fully automated Elixir/Phoenix platform that discovers, tracks, and submits removal requests to data brokers at scale. Real-time dashboards provide instant status visibility. A robust background job system handles scheduled re-scans and follow-up removals.
