Agent Automatically Deletes Your Data Broker Info
dr_cintas · x · 2026-07-20
This post introduces Unbroker, a new skill for the Hermes Agent designed to automatically request the deletion of personal data from data brokers on behalf of the user.
- Usage involves installing the skill, connecting to browser automation tools like Browserbase, and granting explicit user consent for the agent to process personal info.
- It automatically scans numerous data broker websites, generates and sends opt-out emails/forms, and only loops the user back in for manual verification steps when absolutely necessary.
- The author emphasizes that data brokers often expose names, addresses, phone numbers, emails, and even relative information. While laws typically allow deletion requests, manual site-by-site operations are incredibly tedious.
- Unbroker's main selling point is turning paid data removal services into a local, free agent workflow that periodically re-checks and resubmits requests to handle data being re-listed.
