Search Presence, Face Search, and About 90 More Data Brokers.

  • Search Presence (Beta) looks up your name on Google, Bing, Yahoo, and DuckDuckGo and links each result to the right removal form. Face search (Beta) checks PimEyes and Lenso for photos of you, then files your Lenso opt-out and walks you through PimEyes'. Your photo goes straight from your computer to the engines you choose.
  • Removals and opt-out requests for about 90 more Data Brokers, mostly marketing data companies such as Data Axle, Epsilon, LiveRamp, and Melissa, plus people-search and public record sites such as Absolute People Search, StateCourts.org, and California Birth Index. When a removal needs more profile details, the app now says which ones.
  • New deletion options for Twitter/X bookmarks, Snapchat sent photos, videos, and saved snaps, and LinkedIn business page posts older than a year, plus Review & Delete for TikTok. Archive exports now include a spreadsheet of your saved items, with a sheet for each service.
  • A scheduled run missed while your computer was asleep or the app was closed now runs the next time Redact is open, and deletion is more reliable on Instagram, Reddit, Facebook, Twitter/X, Discord, TikTok, Snapchat, and Bluesky.
