    We know nobody has time for the terms and conditions on online services, but they can be important, if you care about your privacy that is…

    After you’ve signed up, most online services keep your information indefinitely, and make it nearly impossible for you to remove it. And it’s more common than you think for services to require you to call them to delete you off their database. Wouldn’t it be helpful if  you found that kind of stuff out before you sign up?

    Just Delete Me, a new online service, can tell you just how hard it is to delete yourself from these services, and help you find your way through the confusing settings to do so.

    Now don’t get ahead of yourselves, the service doesn’t delete your online presence for you, it shows you how hard it is to do it and directs you to the “delete account” page, which is often quite cunningly hidden. It would’ve been great if Just Delete Me could delete your online presence completely at the push of a button, but that would mean storing large amounts of information on the service, which is precisely what its trying to help you not to do.

    The service has over 100 social media sites on it with difficulty ratings of deleting your account ranging from easy to medium, to hard, to impossible. It’s great to see how hard its going to be to get your info off a site and also to see how hard it’s going to be before signing up to the site.

    Bookmark Just Delete Me. You’re welcome.
