FUSV Project ยท Open Source ยท Local-First

Disappear from
data brokers.
Locally.

Open-source data broker opt-out orchestration. Crawl, plan, track, submit โ€” all on your machine. No subscriptions. No cloud. You own the process.

100% Local execution

The Problem

Your personal data is listed on hundreds of data broker websites โ€” name, address, phone number, relatives, employment history โ€” all publicly searchable.

Companies like DeleteMe and Kanary charge $100โ€“$240/year to submit opt-out requests on your behalf. They're doing $20 worth of form submissions and charging you a subscription for it.

GhostOut does the same thing, for free, on your machine. No middleman. No recurring fee. No sending your personal data to yet another company to "protect" it.

How It Works

Four steps. All local. All automated.

01
๐Ÿ”

Crawl

Discovers your exposed records across known data broker sites using automated search and scraping.

โ†’
02
๐Ÿ“‹

Plan

Generates an action plan โ€” which brokers have your data, what opt-out method each requires, priority order.

โ†’
03
๐Ÿ“ก

Submit

Orchestrates opt-out request packets โ€” web forms, emails, and API calls โ€” tailored to each broker's process.

โ†’
04
โœ…

Track

Monitors removal status, flags re-appearances, and schedules follow-ups for brokers that re-list.

Why GhostOut

๐Ÿ 

Runs Locally

Everything executes on your machine. Your personal data never leaves your computer โ€” unlike every paid removal service.

๐Ÿ”“

No Subscription

DeleteMe charges $129/year. Kanary charges $240/year. GhostOut charges nothing. Open source, MIT licensed.

๐Ÿงฉ

Extensible Adapters

Each broker has a plug-in adapter. Community can add new brokers. Broken adapters get flagged automatically.

๐Ÿ“Š

State Tracking

Local database tracks every request โ€” submitted, pending, confirmed, re-appeared. Full audit trail you own.

โš–๏ธ

Lawful Requests Only

GhostOut submits legitimate opt-out requests using the same legal mechanisms (CCPA, GDPR) the paid services use.

AI-Assisted

Built with AI, for AI-era privacy. Adapts to broker form changes and generates request packets automatically.
