Show HN: Exitlight – Find privacy contacts for data deletion requests

https://github.com/riccardoruspoli/exitlight
1•riccardoruspoli•1h ago
Hi HN,

Deleting old accounts from websites is often more time-consuming than it should be. In many cases, you have to manually search for the privacy policy, locate the right contact email, and figure out how to submit a data-related request.

I built exitlight, an open-source command-line tool that automates part of this process. Given a website, it attempts to locate the privacy policy and extract publicly available contact information that can be used for requests such as DSARs or account deletions.

It's written in Python, and the first version is available on PyPI. I'd be interested in feedback, especially from people who have dealt with similar large-scale account cleanup workflows.
