The data broker industry has become a multi-billion dollar enterprise, profiting from the sale of personal information such as phone numbers, home addresses, and Social Security numbers. Individuals often find their private data auctioned off to marketers and potentially malicious actors, frequently without consent. Apple offers some privacy protections, but they cannot address the extensive data already collected by brokers.
To combat this issue, Incogni provides a streamlined solution for individuals looking to remove their personal information from broker databases. The service autonomously reaches out to over 250 companies, ensuring that removal requests are made effectively. This approach leverages privacy legislation, including GDPR and CCPA, applicable across various regions such as the US, EU, and Canada.
Incogni also includes a user-friendly dashboard that allows clients to monitor the status of their data removal efforts, keeping track of requests sent and completed removals. This service is designed to alleviate the burdensome process of managing personal data and help individuals regain control over their privacy.
