Your inbox knows where your data lives. We help you take back control.
Every account you create, every service you sign up for, every online purchase is connected to your email address. Most people have 100+ accounts they've forgotten about, creating security risks and privacy exposure.
Paperweight scans your inbox to map your digital footprint, then helps you take back control and delete your data.

Language lexicons — Paperweight's analysis engine classifies mail
(purchases, updates, promotions) and finds unsubscribe links using
per-language phrase lexicons. English and Dutch are curated; other languages
need native speakers. Adding or improving a language is a single-file data
contribution — no engine knowledge required. See
analysis/src/data/lexicons/README.md
for the rules.
