Checked every opt_out_url (and authority website) with a browser UA:

  • 127 that redirect to a working page now point at the final URL (rebrands,
    new privacy portals, OneTrust/Termly forms). Redirects that land on a
    homepage, a 404 page, a parked domain or an unrelated page are treated as dead.
  • 60 that 404 or whose domain no longer resolves are cleared with a dated
    note, keeping the row and any email (same convention as audit-brokers --fix).
  • Guide-page brokers checked by hand: MyLife -> /privacyrequest, NeighborWho ->
    BeenVerified-style /svc/optout/search/optouts, Addresses.com (form removed)
    -> its parent Intelius's privacy center, AdvancedBackgroundChecks -> /opt-out
    (geo-blocked from the EU; per current third-party guides). Nuwber's domain
    has no DNS records, so its URL is cleared; the email stays.
  • NZ Privacy Commissioner complaint link updated.
