I’m building a tool to discover who holds your personal data (and delete it) 🛠️

我正在开发一款工具，用于发现谁掌握了你的个人数据（并将其删除）🛠️

Hi everyone! 👋 The core idea is simple: finding out which companies hold your personal data shouldn’t take hours of research, and asking them to delete it shouldn’t require hours of manual work either. To address this, I’m working on a tool that combines a local browser extension with a companion website. 大家好！👋 核心理念很简单：找出哪些公司掌握了你的个人数据不应该耗费数小时的研究时间，要求他们删除这些数据也不应该需要数小时的手动操作。为了解决这个问题，我正在开发一款结合了本地浏览器扩展程序和配套网站的工具。

🔍 How it works (2-step process) 🔍 工作原理（两步流程）

Local detection: The browser extension uses various methods to identify domains, vendors, and data brokers that likely hold your data. 本地检测：浏览器扩展程序使用多种方法来识别可能持有你数据的域名、供应商和数据经纪人。

Batch action: The interface aggregates these domains, retrieves privacy-specific contact addresses, and prepares deletion request templates tailored to national and regional laws. 批量操作：界面会汇总这些域名，检索特定的隐私联系地址，并根据国家和地区法律准备删除请求模板。

💡 Note: Of course, this tool cannot guarantee with 100% certainty who holds your data, but it provides strong, sufficient indicators for you to take action—with the aim of reducing the volume of information about you scattered across various servers and systems. 💡 注意：当然，该工具无法 100% 确定谁持有你的数据，但它提供了足够强有力的指标供你采取行动，旨在减少分散在各个服务器和系统中的个人信息量。

I don’t know if a similar project has already been built—I didn’t find anything exactly like it during my research—but I assume a tool like this could still be useful for anyone wanting to start to clean up their data without spending hours on it (which is the case for me!). 我不知道是否已经有类似的项目——我在研究过程中没有发现完全一样的产品——但我认为，对于任何想要开始清理数据却不想花费数小时时间的人来说（我也是如此！），这样的工具依然很有用。

🛠️ Current State & Architecture 🛠️ 当前状态与架构

The project is currently in beta, with a few temporary limitations on the website side. 该项目目前处于测试阶段，网站端存在一些暂时的限制。

Privacy-first: The extension’s code runs 100% locally on your machine and stores nothing on external servers. 隐私至上：扩展程序的代码 100% 在你的本地机器上运行，不会在外部服务器上存储任何内容。

Open-source? Not yet! I am still refactoring it, but it will be. 开源吗？暂时还没有！我还在重构代码，但未来会开源。

💬 Looking for your feedback on the CONCEPT! 💬 期待你对这一概念的反馈！

Right now, I am not looking for technical bug reports. Instead, I would love to get your thoughts on the overall utility and features. I have 3 specific questions for you: 目前，我不需要技术漏洞报告。相反，我很想听听你对整体实用性和功能的看法。我有 3 个具体问题想问你：

Does the link between local detection and template generation make sense to you? 你认为本地检测与模板生成之间的关联合理吗？

What features would you add? 你会增加哪些功能？

Would you use a tool like this in your daily life? 你会在日常生活中使用这样的工具吗？

Thanks! 🚀 谢谢！🚀
