HuellaZero

An early research direction around personal digital exposure — defining the process before any public service.

Can someone understand their own digital footprint well enough to decide what to keep, fix or remove?

HuellaZero explores turning unwanted personal digital exposure into an understandable process: locating where your data appears, classifying what it is, identifying the source, preparing requests, and tracking the outcome.

• Locate: find where personal information appears publicly.
• Classify: group what was found — identity, contact, exposure type.
• Identify the source: where the data came from and who controls it.
• Prepare and track: structure removal or correction requests and follow their status.

• Which parts of a footprint are actually controllable.
• How to make removal requests repeatable instead of ad-hoc.
• The line between privacy management and privacy theater.

HuellaZero is an experiment in the research phase: we are defining the process and testing it on controlled examples. It is not a public service yet.

• No data is collected or stored by the experiment.
• Full removal is not always possible; the law and platform rules apply.
• It is guidance and structure, not a guarantee of deletion.

• Understanding a footprint is the hard part; acting on it becomes clearer afterwards.
• The process must be repeatable to be useful at scale.
