UK GDPR erasure letters
Prototype
Article 17 · UK GDPR

Make the brokers holding your data delete it — in writing, on the clock.

Under UK GDPR you can already force most of these companies to erase your personal data within one calendar month. Nobody does it because writing fifteen separate legal letters is tedious. This generates them for you — free, and without ever seeing your data itself.

01

The right, in plain terms

This is the actual mechanism a written request relies on — not a summary, the sequence itself.

1

You cite three articles at once

Article 15 (what do you hold on me), Article 21 (I object to marketing use of it), and Article 17 (erase it) — sent together, to the address in the company's own privacy notice.

2

They have one calendar month to respond

Not a guideline — a statutory deadline. Silence past that point is itself a compliance failure you can act on.

3

If they refuse or go quiet, you escalate to the ICO

A documented, dated request with no response is exactly the kind of specific procedural failure the Information Commissioner's Office acts on.

02

Generate a letter

Enter your details once — every letter below reuses them. Nothing here is sent anywhere; this prototype writes the letter, you copy and send it.

Nothing you type here ever leaves this page. The letter is written in your browser, on your device. No server, no account, no database — we can't leak what we never had.

The 15 to send it to

Real, named UK data holders, grouped by how they got your data. Two of them don't use this letter at all — they need a different process, flagged below.

04

Free. Always the free part.

The letter generator above costs nothing and never will — that's not an introductory offer, it's the point. We only charge for something we actually have to keep doing.

£0 core tool
No account. No card. Nothing stored.

Optional: £15/yr reminder

Broker addresses and privacy-notice contacts change. For £15/yr we'll email you twice a year to re-run your letters with an updated list — that's the only thing worth paying us for, so it's the only thing we charge for.

This is the only thing that stores anything of yours — just an email address and a reminder date, nothing else. Free during testing; the £15/yr charge isn't switched on yet.
05

How this compares to paid services

Services like BLACKEYES, Incogni, and DeleteMe already do a UK-focused, done-for-you version of this. Worth being straight about the trade-off rather than pretending they don't exist.

Them — e.g. BLACKEYES (£79.99/yr)
Fully automated: they scan, send, and monitor on your behalf across 289+ sites. Convenient — but to keep re-removing your data, they have to keep holding your name, address and phone number on their own servers, indefinitely.
This tool (free, or £15/yr with reminders)
You do the sending. More manual — genuinely so — but nothing you type is ever stored anywhere, by us or anyone else. A company that never had your data can't lose it.
