Unsubscribe automation

1. An apparatus, comprising:

a processor;

a memory unit storing computer-executable instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the apparatus to:

determine, for a plurality of items of email correspondence, a likelihood that each item of email correspondence represents an account or subscription of a consumer, wherein the account or subscription is provided by a source of the item of email correspondence;

based on the determined likelihood that each item of email correspondence represents an account or subscription of the consumer, generate a list of accounts and subscriptions associated with the consumer;

determine for each account and subscription an unsubscribe action, wherein an unsubscribe action for at least one subscription is determined by analyzing a privacy policy on a webpage hosted by a source of the at least one subscription;

generate a revised list of accounts and subscriptions including the determined unsubscribe action for each account and subscription;

determine that at least one account or subscription, provided by a corresponding source, is stale by determining that a period of time since reception, from the corresponding source, of a most recent item of email correspondence associated with the at least one account or subscription exceeds a pre-determined threshold; and

based on the at least one account or subscription being stale, recommend closing the at least one account or subscription.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the unsubscribe action comprises a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) and at least one unsubscribe dialog parameter.

3. The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the at least one unsubscribe dialog parameter comprises an email address of the consumer.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the computer-executable instructions, when executed by the processor, further cause the apparatus to:

receive an indication to unsubscribe to one or more accounts;

retrieve an unsubscribe process for each of the one or more accounts from the revised list of accounts and subscriptions; and

initiate the retrieved unsubscribe process for each of the one or more accounts.

5. The apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the computer-executable instructions, when executed by the processor, further cause the apparatus to:

transmit a report to the consumer upon successful completion of the unsubscribe process for each of the one or more accounts; and

generate a log record of an outcome of the unsubscribe process for each of the one or more accounts.

6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the computer-executable instructions, when executed by the processor, further cause the apparatus to:

identify a source of a second account or subscription; and

based on the identified source, recommend closing the second account or subscription.

7. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the unsubscribe action for the at least one subscription comprises a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) and wherein the computer-executable instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the apparatus to:

determine the URL, based on the analyzing the privacy policy.

8. A method comprising:

determining, for a plurality of items of email correspondence, a likelihood that each item of email correspondence represents an account or subscription of a consumer, wherein the account or subscription is provided by a source of the item of email correspondence;

based on the determined likelihood that each item of email correspondence represents an account or subscription of the consumer, generating a list of accounts and subscriptions associated with the consumer;

determining for each account and subscription an unsubscribe action, wherein an unsubscribe action for at least one subscription is determined by analyzing a privacy policy on a webpage hosted by a source of the at least one subscription;

generating a revised list of accounts and subscriptions including the determined unsubscribe action for each account and subscription;

determining that at least one account or subscription, provided by a corresponding source, is stale by determining that a period of time since reception, from the corresponding source, of a most recent item of email correspondence associated with the at least one account or subscription exceeds a pre-determined threshold; and

13. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

identifying a source of a second account or subscription; and

based on the identified source, recommend closing the second account or subscription.

14. The method of claim 8 , wherein the unsubscribe action for the at least one subscription comprises a Uniform Resource Locator (URL), the method further comprising:

determining the URL based on the analyzing the privacy policy.

15. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to:

determine, for a plurality of items of email correspondence, a likelihood that each item of email correspondence represents an account or subscription of a consumer, wherein the account or subscription is provided by a source of the item of email correspondence;

based on the determined likelihood that each item of email correspondence represents an account or subscription of the consumer, generate a list of accounts and subscriptions associated with the consumer;

determine for each account and subscription an unsubscribe action, wherein an unsubscribe action for at least one subscription is determined by analyzing a privacy policy on a webpage hosted by a source of the at least one subscription;

generate a revised list of accounts and subscriptions including the determined unsubscribe action for each account and subscription;

determine that at least one account or subscription, provided by a corresponding source, is stale by determining that a period of time since reception, from the corresponding source, of a most recent item of email correspondence associated with the at least one account or subscription exceeds a pre-determined threshold; and

based on the at least one account or subscription being stale, recommend closing the at least one account or subscription.

16. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 15 , wherein the unsubscribe action comprises a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) and at least one unsubscribe dialog parameter.

17. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 16 , wherein the at least one unsubscribe dialog parameter comprises an email address of the consumer.

18. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 15 , storing further instructions that, when executed by the computing device, cause the computing device to:

20. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 15 , wherein the unsubscribe action for the at least one subscription comprises a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) and wherein the instructions, when executed by the computing device, cause the computing device to determine the URL, based on the analyzing the privacy policy.
