You Already Know Data Is Power
Campaigns buy it. Tech companies monetize it. Data brokers quietly compile it — your address, phone number, voting history indicators, even family details — and sell it to the highest bidder.
That’s where Incogni comes in.
Incogni works on your behalf to remove your personal information from hundreds of data broker databases — the shadowy industry most people never see but nearly everyone is affected by.
I use the service myself and highly recommend it.
