Data brokers collect your personal information and/or sell it to other companies with just a few clicks of the mouse. We want to help you take back your data just as easily!
Since I'm working in politics, my name is more public than the regular person's. My name was shown in multiple search sites. Good that Incogni got that sorted for me.
This is a pretty awesome product. I have had my personal email since high school and you can't imagine the number of requests Incogni had to send to clean that up...
Hello! 👋
I am not a creator of this app but I thought it would be very relevant, therefore, I wanted to share it with you!
Incogni helps you take back control of your data, reduce spam, and prevent scam attacks by opting you out of data broker databases automatically. Data brokers exploit your personal information for profit, often without your informed consent. Opting out is possible but difficult by design and Incogni makes it easy for you to regain control over your personal data as you can remove it from a growing list of over 180+ major data brokers!
Why is it important?
Personal data and personally identifiable information can be of huge value as it can be sold among data brokers or to third parties. Data brokers can paint a pretty terrifying shadow profile that lets them know your financial history and risk level, target you with political ads or scam, use all kinds of tactics to influence your purchases and more. The more data you have online, the easier it is for the wrong people to get their hands on it, as it increases the risk of that data being breached or leaked, especially with the increasing number of various cyber-attacks.
😒 Potential scams. Scammers often target victims using personal details such as income levels, health conditions, religious or political beliefs, and even the names of relatives and acquaintances – making data broker sites heaven for these criminals.
😢 Invasion of privacy. People search sites give complete strangers access to personal information such as home addresses, contact details, members of your family, and much more.
🤥 Identity theft. Cybercriminals need details like your name, DOB, and SSN to steal your identity. Most data brokers collect many, if not all, of the data points these criminals are after.
😬 Increased costs. Financial and risk assessment data brokers sell details such as browsing history and credit scores to insurance companies, banks, and other institutions. This can lead to increased insurance rates and loan denials, among other financial repercussions.
What can Incogni do?
✔ Removes your data from databases that collect, trade, sell, or publish it. Incogni provides automated data removals that are user-friendly and affordable.
✔ Uses the GDPR, CCPA, and other applicable privacy laws to make data brokers remove your personal information from their databases.
✔ Keeps strangers from buying your personal information on people search sites.
✔ Keeps your data off the market by regularly resending opt-out requests to a growing list of data brokers.
✔ Sends you regular updates about its progress by email.
At the moment, Incogni service is available to the US, UK, EU, Swiss and Canadian residents only.
Incogni has a 30-day money-back guarantee so you can test it out first!

It is super useful for me daily, and I love that I can stay "incogni-to" with it. It could be a good app to install on your grandparents' or parents' phones as sometimes they forget what to share and what not to share online and may easily fall for quite ridiculous scams. :))

I really like that Incogni sends updates regularly so I feel more secured and informed about what's happening and know that my personal data won't be used for any scammy purposes.
