Easier to just send them your own template on paper instead of using theirs.

It should be like a doctor’s prescription in a lot of places: as long as it’s on paper and has the right elements, it’s valid.

Well then thats the trick. A legal research team that develops the form for as many sites as you could find, and then a mechanism to send that form filled with each users data to those sites.

Like, what more do they need than disambiguating identity info and a declaration that I'm opting out? E.g. name and DOB?

My only fear is that you're now sending this all to them, but in 2019, we can safely say your name+DOB+address isn't a secret. Or national identity number if that's a thing in your jurisdiction.

It's the metadata around it we want wiped out.
