Inbox-based company discovery
Connect Gmail through Google sign-in. Ghostifier examines sender, subject, date, and unsubscribe-link metadata to recognize companies without opening message bodies or attachments.
Ghostifier
Ghostifier connects to Gmail to find companies linked to your inbox, then helps unsubscribe and send opt-out or deletion requests with review before sending.
Personal data discovery and removal from an inbox
Ghostifier is a personal data-removal and inbox privacy service. It connects to Gmail and uses email metadata to identify companies that may hold your information, then presents the findings for review before contacting them.
After approval, Ghostifier can unsubscribe you from supported mailing lists, send opt-out and deletion requests, and show the resulting activity in one place. It tracks company responses and applicable legal deadlines, while leaving the user responsible for occasional confirmation steps that companies require.
Core features
Review before sending
Review the companies found in the initial scan and see what Ghostifier proposes to do before any request is sent. Individual company approval is also available.
Unsubscribe and privacy requests
Remove yourself from mailing lists that support one-click unsubscribe, and send written requests asking companies to stop selling or sharing your information and delete it.
Request tracking and receipts
For eligible requests, Ghostifier records delivery, replies, completion status, and the legal deadline where one applies. It follows up once when a company misses its deadline and keeps a receipt.
Data-broker requests
Cleanup and Autopilot include requests to 220 registered data brokers, including brokers that may hold information even when they have never emailed you.
Ongoing monitoring
Autopilot checks the inbox daily, handles companies found later according to your settings, follows up with companies that keep emailing after unsubscribe, and sends a weekly summary.
Practical use cases
Audit an established inbox
Run the free scan to build a list of companies associated with your inbox before deciding whether to send any opt-out or deletion requests.
Reduce unwanted marketing
Use the review screen and per-company approval controls to remove marketing subscriptions while avoiding automatic deletion requests for accounts you still use.
Complete a one-time cleanup
Choose Cleanup when you want requests sent to companies already identified, with delivery records, responses, deadlines, and receipts collected in one activity history.
Address off-inbox data brokers
Use the data-broker coverage in Cleanup or Autopilot to send requests to registered brokers that may have information about you despite never contacting you directly.
Maintain privacy over time
Use Autopilot for ongoing maintenance: daily inbox checks identify new companies, and the service handles them according to the settings you select while summarizing activity weekly.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Free scanning shows which companies have contacted you before you commit to a cleanup plan.
- Nothing is sent until the user reviews the scan and gives approval.
- The service combines unsubscribe actions, opt-out and deletion requests, deadline tracking, follow-ups, and request receipts.
- Cleanup and Autopilot extend requests to 220 registered data brokers, including brokers that may not have emailed the user.
- Autopilot provides continuing inbox checks and handling of companies found later.
Cons
- The discovery workflow is based on Gmail metadata, so it does not independently identify every organization that may hold your information.
- Some companies require the user to reply or follow a link, and Ghostifier cannot complete those actions from the user’s email address.
- Account deletion is intentionally excluded for many essential or commonly used services, and requests sent cannot be recalled.
FAQ
How does Ghostifier find companies that have my data?
Ghostifier connects to Gmail with Google sign-in and scans email metadata to identify companies that have contacted you. It sees sender, subject line, date, and unsubscribe links, but not message bodies or attachments.
Does Ghostifier contact companies automatically?
Nothing is sent after the initial scan until you review the companies and approve the plan. You can also approve companies individually. After that, new companies follow your chosen settings, with deletion actions requiring approval by default.
What happens after a request is sent?
Ghostifier can unsubscribe you from lists that support one-click unsubscribe, send opt-out and deletion requests, track responses and applicable legal deadlines, and retain receipts. Companies may still ask you to confirm by replying or using a link; those tasks appear as items needing your attention.
What kinds of accounts does Ghostifier leave alone?
No. Ghostifier does not delete accounts such as Google, Spotify, or Discord, and it does not request deletion from banks, insurers, doctors, government offices, schools, employers, password managers, email or file storage, domains, hosting accounts, crypto exchanges, or identity services. It can still unsubscribe or request that some of these organizations stop selling or sharing data according to your settings.
What do the Ghostifier plans include?
The Free plan provides scanning and supported one-click unsubscribes. Cleanup is a one-time paid plan that adds requests to companies found so far, requests to 220 registered data brokers, deadline tracking, follow-ups, and receipts. Autopilot adds ongoing inbox checks, handling of newly found companies, follow-ups for companies that continue emailing, and weekly summaries.
