If You Follow Politics, You Already Know the Value of Data
Political campaigns spend billions collecting data because it works. The same data economy fuels scammers, spammers, and identity thieves.
Your phone number, home address, family connections, and work history are quietly bought and sold by data brokers—often without your knowledge. Once that information is out there, bad actors don’t have to guess who you are. They already know.
Incogni goes after the data brokers for you. It automatically submits removal requests, tracks responses, and keeps monitoring to make sure your personal information stays off the market—even after you move or change jobs.
Starve the data brokers. Protect your privacy. Get 55% off Incogni annual plans with code POLITICALWIRE.
