Guidance for a cleaner digital life
Free privacy tools and public benefit projects built to make the internet less annoying.
Free tools.
Real research.
Responsible AI.
Yorba is a Public Benefit Corporation helping people take control of their digital lives and everything connected to them online.
Beyond our membership platform, we build and support free tools, independent research, and nonprofit collaborations that make complex digital systems easier to understand — and easier to act on.
These issues shouldn’t be buried in fine print or reserved for experts. That’s why we invest in public projects that bring visibility, clarity, and control to everyone, whether or not they’re Yorba members.
Because companies have entire teams managing your data.
You should have tools to manage them.
State of Clutter
An annual report on email overload, account sprawl, data breaches, and subscription trends.
The internet isn’t messy by accident. It’s engineered that way.
The State of Clutter analyzes aggregated, anonymized data and industry research to show what digital overload really looks like.
The report highlights how much people accumulate online, which organizations generate the most noise, and how that sprawl impacts digital wellness, subscription abuse, and data risk — all backed by real data.
Delete Desk
The largest free directory of account deletion instructions.
Deleting an online account shouldn’t feel like solving a puzzle.
Delete Desk provides step-by-step instructions for closing accounts across major platforms — without digging through hidden settings or vague help articles.
Closing unused accounts reduces breach risk, tracking, and unwanted data collection.
Terms of Service Didn’t Read (ToS;DR)
AI applied responsibly to make privacy policies easier to understand.
Yorba supports ToS;DR, an EU-based nonprofit that evaluates privacy policies using machine learning and human review.
Those grades are integrated directly into Yorba, so you can see how a company handles your data before deciding whether to keep or delete an account.
Deep technology, applied to a real-world problem people face every day.
Check out the latest report on email, account, and subscription trends.
