The first release of the maintained fork of digisamroc/eraser (inactive since early 2026). Eraser sends data-removal requests to 700+ data brokers from your own machine — requests go out from your mailbox, so no company ever holds your data. Free and open source.

📖 eraser.drumandbytes.dev — broker directory, opt-out guides, privacy authorities.

What's in this fork

Privacy & evidence

  • Defaults to the GDPR template; eraser export builds an HTML/JSON evidence report (what was sent, every reply, and the brokers past their deadline) to attach to a complaint.
  • Worldwide privacy-authority reference — GDPR authorities for all 27 EU + EEA states, plus the FTC, California CPPA, and regulators in Canada, the UK, Switzerland, Australia, and more. export names the one for your country.

Manual / no-SMTP mode

  • Don't want to give any tool your email password? send_mode: manual — Eraser renders the emails (eraser draft, eraser send --manual, or the web UI), you send them by hand, and eraser mark-sent records them.

Broker list

  • The 763-broker database is embedded in the binary — no data/ directory needed. eraser update-brokers refreshes it with a small conditional download.

Other

  • Household multi-profile support (--profile).
  • Web UI cleanup: Tailwind toolchain removed, templates de-duplicated.

Install

Download the archive for your OS below and unpack it.

  • macOS: unsigned, so run xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine ./eraser once (or right-click → Open).
  • Windows: the archive contains eraser.exe.
  • eraser fill / eraser confirm need Chrome installed; nothing else does.
./eraser serve        # web UI at http://localhost:8080
./eraser init         # or configure from the CLI

Not legal advice. Eraser acts on your instructions and sends from your own account — you're responsible for the data you enter and anything you submit to an authority.
