Removing your info from the web takes forever – Unless you do this

October 24, 2023

By Kim Komando

I’ve warned you about all the scummy sites that collect your personal details for years. I’ll never forget, not too long ago, when my son Ian asked about a house I lived at in my 20s. I couldn’t remember where it was.

Ian called and asked if it was a particular street in LA. It was, but how the heck did he know? The address I lived at many years ago was listed with my name on a people search website. So creepy!

I’ve got a super smart, easy way to get yourself off sites like these.

Your personal information is big business

Data brokers collect your Social Security number, birthdate, address, health info, contact details, you name it — and sell it to the highest bidder. It’s nearly impossible to remove all that from the web yourself.

That’s where Incogni comes in. It’s a personal data removal service that scrubs your info from the web. It handles the hard work for you. Seriously, it’d take hundreds of hours to do it all on your own.

If you’ve ever agreed to a Privacy Policy online (we all have!), this is a solid way to protect yourself from identity theft, health insurers jacking up your rates, robocalls and more.

It took me about 3 minutes

Before I could recommend it to you, I tried it out myself. The process took me a few minutes, and I was immediately opted out of 27 databases, with 47 more requests sent. 

All you have to do is create an account and then enter your name and address. These sites require this info to remove your data — so you’d do that whether or not you use Incogni.

Then, you grant Incogni permission to reach out on your behalf. After you finish the setup process, you’ll see a list of sites you’ve been removed from and pending requests. 

It’s so easy

I’ve removed myself from countless sites over the years. And trust me when I say it’s a pain. New ones always pop up, and it’s impossible to keep up on your own.

That’s why I now let Incogni take care of it for me — and I negotiated a special deal for you to try it out, too.
