Your Personal Data Is Already for Sale
A new report says a member of Elon Musk's DOGE task force may have taken sensitive Social Security data to a private-sector job. Troubling — but data brokers already collect and sell your social security number, birth date, home address and more to anyone willing to pay.
You can’t stop data brokers — but you can make them delete your information.
Incogni does the work for you — contacting brokers and demanding removal of your personal data, including from hard-to-clean People Search sites.
It’s a simple way to reduce identity-theft risk, cut spam calls and keep sensitive financial and health data private.
