I'd recommend trying Ollama+OpenCode to DIY removals. It can at least help find the sites and their removal request pages, but then you'd need to solve captchas and do the requests.

Some of these PII removal companies go to great lengths to request removals on your behalf without providing ANY additional information that the data broker does not already have.
The problem is that nobody can tell which PII removal companies act responsibly and which ones are merely data brokers themselves.
Even the ones trying their best to not distribute more information about you need only to screw that up once, and that single incident of human error leads to a neverending cycle of leaks between downstream data brokers.
It's the perfect industry for local AI agents to replace, but the only way to know you're properly requesting removals without making matters worse is to do it yourself.
