Kanary wants you to subscribe forever. They charge you every month, even when there's nothing new to remove.
OfflistMe is distinct. You pay once (or use our Free Tier). Request removal of your data, close the tab, and get on with your life.

Most "removal services" are actually just big databases of PII. If they get hacked, your data leaks again. Offlist eliminates this risk entirely.
We act as a tool, not a middleman. You maintain full chain of custody over your data.

US privacy laws don't protect everyone. But OfflistMe does.
Because we use standard email protocols, you can send removal requests from anywhere in the world: Berlin, Bangalore, or Brazil. One purchase covers unlimited requests, and you can share access with family and friends at no extra cost. Just give them the email you paid with so they can restore the purchase.
