You can click on the "manage subscriptions" button in Gmail and have this done natively in Gmail without passing all of your data to a 3rd party.

It does not do anything other than granting them a time indefinite permission into your gmail that permission allows them to read all of your emails, write and send as many new emails as you as they wish and it allows them the ability to delete/move/copy your emails using the gmail API.

I think we have been conditioned to love tools like these but not want to sign up for fear of leaking personal data to the tool.

Looks promising, and I could use some help organizing my own email. But here's a question: is there a risk that people will take advantage of a free trial for a one-time cleanup, and then not see the need for an ongoing subscription? I'm curious if that's a challenge in getting customers to commit.

In the end of the day, we all just need to clear our email ourselves. That time should not go into paying you and fighting your data policy which is already trespassing, in my opinion.

If one does not already maintain their emails and subscriptions meticulously, which makes you think they will pay for your service, regularly?

The other thing is that, let's say, if I do share my email data with you -- 99% of it is likely to be immediately trashed, i just haven't spent the time to do it. So to relegate that to a third party, that's probably the reason I didn't delete it in the first place.

The value-add on of this service doesn't solve my reason for redundenant emails with unsub links -- i haven't had the spare few seconds to verify and do it myself.

I really appreciate how readable the Privacy Policy is. https://againstdata.com/privacy

I do think there should be more details about security. This is all that was mentioned:

> DAD constantly evaluates and upgrades the security measures implemented as to ensure a secure and safe personal data processing.

Not working for me right now. Spinning at different points

"Client error: `POST https:\/\/www.googleapis.com\/oauth2\/v4\/token` resulted in a `400 Bad Request` response:\n{\n \"error\": \"invalid_grant\",\n \"error_description\": \"Bad Request\"\n}\n"

or

500 Server Error

> When you choose to delete, a legal template is sent to the company's privacy contact, notifying them that you have chosen to delete the data they hold on you.

I build the systems that handle GDPR data requests. Be warned that, depending on how complex the company's data systems are, you may be filing a support ticket that and requires some level of engagement. Especially if you are a user of said product and how authentication is established, you may accidentally delete your account.

Also, 90% of the templated GDPR removal requests we get are for details that don't exist in our system. My impression of these tools is they are not very smart and can end up spreading your PII around more than they erase it.

I am the right fool... A random internet link said "can we read all your email" an I clicked 'yes'.

Welp. Time to do some major soul-searching and digital triage.

Looks useful. Been using this for years, find it very effective - https://github.com/labnol/unsubscribe-gmail

I've talked to chatgpt about bulk deleting email and it suggested a script on the Google sheets?! Apparently it was quite simple and you don't have to give access to a third party app.
