A service that deletes my online presence if I don't respond?

Anyone know of a service similar to this? It sends me e-mail every 6 months or something asking me if I am alive and well. If I fail to answer they will go ahead and delete me from social media, my mail and everything? Would love a service like that. Thank you.

A related service called a “Dead man’s switch” might be close to that: https://hn.algolia.com/?q=dead+man%27s+switch

deadman.io, deadmansswitch.net, and deadmantracker.com are starting points. You’d need a human to delete the accounts, but these services could send the email with your credentials. Having a trusted friend in the loop might be valuable anyway.

Thank you. This is exactly what I envisioned!
