Right now, sites you've never heard of list your name, address, phone number and relatives. Anyone can look you up, including a stalker or a scammer who needs one convincing detail.
Companies will remove you for about $96 to $129 a year. Much of that work is sending requests you already have the legal right to send yourself, and in many places brokers have to honor them for free.
Over 500,000 Californians signed up for the state's free deletion tool in its first eight months. People want this. The rest of the world just doesn't have a free button.
So here's one.

Paid services do real work, especially on forms. If you'd rather pay to never think about it, they're a fair choice. Unlisted is for everyone else.
What it does
The real app, recorded with a made-up person and a mail server on the same PC. No email left it.
Sends the requests
970 data brokers, built from the California state registry and two open-source lists.
The right law for where you live: GDPR, UK GDPR, California's CCPA, other US state laws, or a plain request where no law applies.
Sends only what's needed. Your name and email by default. Your phone and address stay out unless you add them, because a broker that doesn't have them could learn them from your request.
From your own email, spaced out so your mailbox doesn't flag it. You see every letter first.
Tracks every broker
Deadlines: one month under GDPR, 45 days under CCPA. Overdue brokers get a reminder from you in one click.
Re-checks every 90 days, because brokers re-list people.
A PDF report of what you sent and when, ready for a regulator if a broker ignores you. Unlisted links you to the right one.
Reads the replies
Checks your inbox and opens only mail from brokers you've written to. The rest stays unread.
Tells you what each reply means and what to do next: removed, wants a form, asks for ID, refused.
Flags links that leave the broker's site, because a fake "confirm your request" email is an easy scam.
Finds what's out there
People-search sites: open your own listing in your browser and note what you find.
Your usernames across 462 sites, using Sherlock's site list. It tests each hit against a made-up name, so sites that "find" everyone don't fool it.
Data breaches for your email, through XposedOrNot or your own Have I Been Pwned key. This is the one check that sends your email out, so it asks first.
Get it
One zip, attached to the latest release. It carries Main.exe, its update
settings and the Unlisted runtime, so nothing else has to be installed:
Unpack the whole folder and start Main.exe. No installer, no admin rights.
Main.exe is code-signed, so Windows starts it without a warning. Keep
Unlisted next to it: they ship together.
Your data lives in an UnlistedData folder next to the app, encrypted with your passphrase. Lose the stick and nobody can read it. Forget the passphrase and neither can you, because there's no reset.
You'll need an email account with an app password. Use a separate address if you'd rather keep your main inbox out of this.
Build from source:
npm install
npm run app
Run the tests:
npm test
Bring your own AI
Unlisted has no AI server and never will, so there's nothing to pay us for. AI is optional, and everything works without it.
AI reads replies and drafts your answers. It can't send anything, click anything or change a case without you. Before text goes to a cloud provider, Unlisted swaps your name, emails, phones and addresses for placeholders. Anything else in the reply is sent as written, so use a local model for total privacy.
If a broker writes "ignore your instructions" in a reply, the worst it can do is produce a wrong suggestion that you see first.
What it won't do
Straight talk, because this is your privacy:
It won't solve CAPTCHAs or fill forms for you. About 160 brokers only take web forms, and many more prefer them. Unlisted opens the form and has your details ready to copy. You do the clicking.
It can't force anyone to comply. Laws differ. In some US states and many countries, a request is just a request.
It can't remove everything. Public records, news stories and your own social posts are usually out of reach.
It can't stop new listings. Brokers buy from each other, so people come back. That's why it reminds you to check again.
It isn't legal advice. The letters are a solid start, not a lawyer.
It's for your own data. Sending requests in someone else's name without permission can be illegal.
What's been tested
The core, the mail code and the full app flow have automated tests, including real SMTP and IMAP conversations with servers on the same PC. It hasn't yet been run against live brokers, a real Gmail account or a real Windows PC. Expect some broker addresses to bounce: the list comes from public records, and companies change them. Bounces get flagged so you can use the form instead.
FAQ
Is it actually free?
Yes. There's no server to pay for and no paid tier. The code is MIT.
Why would a broker listen to me?
In the EU, UK, California and a growing list of US states, the law gives you the right to delete. Regulators can fine brokers that ignore it.
Won't writing to brokers give them my email?
It can. That's the honest trade-off of every removal tool. Use a separate address for this, keep your phone and address out, and start with the people-search sites that already expose you.
Do I live in California?
Use the state's free DROP tool first. It covers every registered broker in one request. Unlisted then helps with what it misses.
Where's my data?
In one encrypted file next to the app. Unlisted has no server, no accounts and no analytics. It connects only to your mail provider, the AI you choose, and the sites you ask it to check.
Is this enough if I'm in danger?
No. If someone is stalking or threatening you, please talk to a specialist support service too, because removal alone won't keep you safe.

Make it better
Star it if you think your address shouldn't be for sale. Open an issue when a broker's address bounces or its form moves: that's the most useful help there is.
Credits and license
Unlisted's code is MIT. It stands on open data and open-source work, listed in CREDITS.md. It isn't affiliated with any broker, service or regulator named here.
What is this?Unlisted asks data brokers to delete you, tracks every deadline and reads their replies. It sends the requests from your own email to 970 brokers, runs on your PC and costs nothing.
Is it a program I install or an online service?It is a portable Windows app: you unzip it and run it. There is no installer, no account and no server.
How do I get it running?Download the zip from the latest release, unpack the whole folder and start Main.exe. Keep Unlisted next to it, since they ship together.
What do I need before I start?An email account with an app password, because the requests go out from your own address. A separate address is suggested if you want to keep your main inbox out of it.
Does it fill in web forms for me?No. It won't solve CAPTCHAs or fill forms. About 160 brokers only accept web forms, so the app opens each form with your details ready to copy and you do the clicking.
Does it work on Mac or Linux?The README lists only Windows 10 and 11, so this is a Windows-only app.
How is it different from paid removal services?It is free, keeps your data encrypted on your own drive and needs no account. Paid services do more of the form work for you, which is worth it if you would rather not think about it.
Does it send anything without asking me first?No. You see every letter before it goes out, and the AI cannot send, click or change a case without you.
What happens if I forget my passphrase?Nobody can recover the data, including you, because there is no reset. The encrypted files stay unreadable.
What has been tested so far?Automated tests cover the core, the mail code and the full app flow, including real SMTP and IMAP runs on the same PC. It has not yet been run against live brokers, a real Gmail account or a real Windows PC.
