Last updated on 12 May 2026

Mine is an amazing service that allows you to discover and become aware of your digital footprint and remove your personal data from services you no longer use.

How many companies on the net have data about you? Ten? Fifty? One hundred? Mine will help you find out in one click. Be careful, you may be surprised.

Become aware of your fingerprint

Mine facilitates awareness, but also, as we will see later, allows you to try to regain control over your digital data.

To measure the fingerprint left behind your web browsing, Mine will need your email address. The platform works with email addresses provided by Google or Microsoft at the moment.

In less than a minute, watch in hand, Mine will detect and retrieve traces of personal data that you have left behind each time you have interacted with a digital service. The data that makes up your fingerprint can be of different kinds. Most of the time your name and email address. Sometimes it can also be your personal or business address or your … phone number This can go as far as your credit card, passport, social security number, behavioural data …

A powerful scan of your mailbox

Mine will only work by analyzing the entities with which you have exchanged by email. The tool will help you to find the traces that companies have left during the interactions you have made, such as ‘registering for a new service’, ‘purchasing a product online’, ‘booking a plane ticket’, etc. To do this, Mine only looks at the topics of the emails and will send you the list of companies. The tool does not process or collect the content of your messages.

The tool is based on the privacy policy and terms of use of each company you have been in contact with. You know these endless texts written in tiny letters. Texts that specify the type of data they process and collect about you.

Clear your digital footprint on the web

It’s good to be aware of your tracks and data behind you. It’s even better to take action to erase them and get your hands back on what belongs to you.

Mine will help you. For each company identified in your exchanges, the tool will indicate the data that the company must have in its possession.

If you want to act. With one click, Mine will write an automatic email and send it with a request to delete all your data to this company. You will receive a copy of the message. According to the new EU regulations, the company has up to 30 days to comply. She may ask you to confirm the request. But, if you insist, all your data should be erased.

Mine is ideal for becoming aware (or making ) aware of the swarming of our private data on the web. A tool of public utility.

A good tool that complements the service “My Networks and Me” proposed by MAIF She was particularly interested in the importance of digital identity on social networks.
