Remove Personal Data from Brokers with Incogni

Your personal data is currently for sale—phone numbers, emails, home addresses, and family connections are packaged and sold to marketers, insurers, and hackers. While Apple's privacy protections in Safari and Mail block some tracking, they cannot undo years of information already scraped across hundreds of broker databases. Data brokers have built a multi-billion-dollar industry collecting and selling your digital footprint.

The risks go beyond spam calls. Unregulated brokers expose employment history, past loans, and addresses, enabling sophisticated phishing attacks where scammers use personal details to bypass defenses. These sites also serve as searchable databases for stalkers, mapping connections between relatives and neighbors.

Manually removing data from hundreds of sites is impractical. Incogni automates opt-out requests, ensuring data stays removed as brokers re-scrape it. Their dashboard tracks removal progress across databases in real time.

Benefits include fewer scam calls, reduced identity theft risk, and physical privacy. 9to5Mac readers get exclusive pricing: Annual Standard $99.48, Annual Family $197.88 with code 9TO5MAC.
