How to keep your personal data cyber-secure…
On a daily basis, data brokers profit off of your personal info. They buy and sell your phone number, SSN—even your birthday—to the highest bidder.
Who would actually want to buy this data? Well, best case scenario, companies that want to use the data to target you with advertising. But worst case scenario? Identity thieves and scammers.
Enter: Incogni. With just a single click of a button, they scrub your sensitive personal data from the internet. They send letters to data brokers on your behalf, and even get you remove from pesky people-search sites (which are usually tough to get removed from!).
