Data Knight

Data Knight is a web-based privacy platform developed in France and focused on the European market that helps individuals understand and reduce their digital footprint. It combines personal data discovery, GDPR-based removal requests, request tracking and social media cleanup.

The free digital footprint scan checks the public web, data broker listings and known data breaches using the identity and contact details provided by the user. Results are brought together in a report showing relevant sources and the information found. Users can review matches and exclude results that belong to someone else before taking action.

For eligible personal data, users can select what they want removed and authorise Data Knight to prepare and send requests on their behalf. Requests are adapted to the organisation, the information involved and the appropriate contact channel. A personal dashboard centralises sending records, replies, follow-ups and outcomes, including steps that require the user's input.

Data Knight also includes a Social Hub for Facebook, YouTube, Reddit and X. It analyses supported content from official archives uploaded by the user or an authorised Google connection for YouTube. Posts, comments and other supported activity are organised by risk to help users prioritise what to review. Depending on the network, cleanup is available through integrated actions, direct links or guided steps. Social account passwords are never required. Scan coverage depends on accessible sources, and removal outcomes depend on the organisation and applicable rights. Breach detection provides information and recommended protective actions; it does not erase every copy of leaked data.

Available options include: • A free digital footprint scan and report, with no credit card required. • A one-time Removal plan for selected personal data. • Social Pro credits for analysing social media content without a subscription. • An Always-on Protection subscription for ongoing monitoring, removal follow-up and an included monthly allowance of social analysis credits.

Data Knight supports English and French and runs in a web browser.
