If You Follow Politics, You Know Data Is Power
Campaigns, consultants, and corporations spend billions collecting data because it works. That same ecosystem also feeds 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 it’s out there, bad actors don’t need to guess who you are. They already know.
Incogni automatically tracks down data brokers, submits removal requests on your behalf, and keeps monitoring to make sure your personal information stays off the market—even after you move or change jobs.
Cut off the data supply. Take back your privacy. Get 55% off Incogni with code POLITICALWIRE.
