Welp. Time to do some major soul-searching and digital triage.
I do think there should be more details about security. This is all that was mentioned:
> DAD constantly evaluates and upgrades the security measures implemented as to ensure a secure and safe personal data processing.
Steps:
1. Open Google Sheets (or any other Google app that supports Apps Script).
2. Open the Script Editor:
In Sheets, go to Extensions > Apps Script.
3. Write the Script:
function deleteOldEmails() { var threads = GmailApp.search('older_than:1y'); // Modify query as needed for (var i = 0; i < threads.length; i++) { threads[i].moveToTrash(); // Move emails to trash } }
This example deletes emails older than one year (older_than:1y). You can modify the search query for different criteria (e.g., label:unread, from:[email protected], before:YYYY/MM/DD).
4. Save the Script.
5. Run the Script:
Click the play icon to run the script. It will ask for permissions the first time.
This method allows you to automate email management using custom queries. Would you like to proceed with something like this, or were you thinking of a different approach?
If one does not already maintain their emails and subscriptions meticulously, which makes you think they will pay for your service, regularly?
The other thing is that, let's say, if I do share my email data with you -- 99% of it is likely to be immediately trashed, i just haven't spent the time to do it. So to relegate that to a third party, that's probably the reason I didn't delete it in the first place.
The value-add on of this service doesn't solve my reason for redundenant emails with unsub links -- i haven't had the spare few seconds to verify and do it myself.

I build the systems that handle GDPR data requests. Be warned that, depending on how complex the company's data systems are, you may be filing a support ticket that and requires some level of engagement. Especially if you are a user of said product and how authentication is established, you may accidentally delete your account.
Also, 90% of the templated GDPR removal requests we get are for details that don't exist in our system. My impression of these tools is they are not very smart and can end up spreading your PII around more than they erase it.
