Personal Surveillance Exposure Score and Mitigation Tool

C6/10April 23, 2026

WhatA consumer product that continuously audits your digital footprint across data brokers, government contractor databases, and AI training sets, then gives you an actionable exposure score with automated opt-out and data deletion.

SignalCommenters express a resigned awareness that mass surveillance has become so pervasive that individual data points are meaningless — but this very fatalism reveals that people lack tools to understand or control their actual exposure level, creating learned helplessness where a clear product could exist.

Why NowThe explosion of AI-powered government surveillance tools combined with new state privacy laws (CPRA, state-level regulations) finally gives individuals both the motivation and the legal leverage to demand data deletion at scale.

MarketPrivacy-conscious consumers and enterprises; ~$15B privacy tech market; DeleteMe and Optery cover data brokers but nobody maps exposure to government/defense contractor systems or AI training datasets.

MoatProprietary database of data broker and contractor data flows built through continuous crawling and FOIA requests — extremely hard to replicate and compounds over time.
