Make yourself expensive to track.

A free toolkit for making yourself a harder, more expensive target for surveillance and data-harvesting. The first section, Opt-Out, walks you through getting your data out of the data-broker economy by hand, without handing it to a paid service to do it for you. Guides for hardening your own devices are next.

Getting started

Start with a handful, not the whole list. There are hundreds of brokers, and working through them in order of what actually matters — a few per sitting — is the difference between finishing and bouncing off. That's what the guided flow does: it picks the next batch for you, easiest and highest-value first.

Setting up a profile first is optional. It stays on this device and only pre-fills the opt-out emails and forms you send yourself, plus picks the right legal citation for your state. You can skip it, though rows that compose an email or have fields to copy will be blank until you fill it in.
