Exactly! I offer this as a service and although I do charge for the time it takes (and the tools I need), I'd give up the job to make it easier for people to do it on their own.
Walt Disney said something like, "we don't make movies to make money, we make money to make more movies."
I feel the same way about what I do. I don't help people erase their digital footprints to make money, I make money to help people erase their digital footprints.

You’re clearly very passionate on this issue and it’s really great to see how principled you are in that you actually just want to help people out with this problem. Most people don’t even know how to do it on their own, so it’s great that there are people like you to do it for them!
Maybe you can make portions of the process automated. It’s easier with major services where there are APIs, but I suppose there are parts that must be manual when you get to obscure random websites that contain traces of someone’s email / name etc.

On which note, you could offer a tier 1 service which is “automate as much as you can” and a tier 2 where you upsell your services - which down the line could translate to employing more people to help you either develop better automated solutions or scale the manual side.

Yours to keep! I hope you do that. Having a free tool like this is an incredible way to create traffic for your business. A lot of businesses build complementary free tools that actually provide value to people which converts into customers for them.
And your intent is very clear; you want to help people, and you’ll be able to achieve that goal on a far bigger scale if you managed to pull something like that off.
Anyway, thanks for the comment! Best of luck with all your digital footprint covering endeavours!!!

This is oddly fascinating!
