Reduce email and phone spam, lower risk of identity theft.

Recently, I woke up to a scary email from one of my banks—my personal information has been compromised after a data breach. I was not happy. I’m still in the process of dealing with this. 

Every year, both the number and scope of data breaches worldwide are rising.

According to the 2022 Annual Data Breach Report by the Identity Theft Resource Center, the number of victims has gone up nearly 41.5% from 2021.

The likelihood of your own data getting breached is constantly increasing, as well. There are hundreds of commercial databases and people search sites that hold your personal information, and the number grows every year.

Data brokers aggregate your personal info including your name, Social Security number, login credentials, home address, location history, online activity, and much more. All of this is available for purchase by businesses and could fall into the hands of criminals.

I set up an Incogni account to delete my personal information from the multitude of people search sites and data brokers. Incogni reaches out to data brokers on your behalf, requests your personal data removal, and deals with any objections from their side.

Within 5 minutes of setting up my account, Incogni had issued 84 data removal requests, got my info deleted from 35 sites, and suppressed future data collection on me from 18 sites. Plus, they cleaned my phone number from a bunch of spam callers. I’m super impressed by how fast I’m seeing results. 

You should probably do this too.
