Deleting yourself from data broker sites

Hi there, If you have ever entered your name, email, phone number, or address online, you are probably listed in data broker databases. These are companies you have never heard of that legally collect and resell personal information. That is also why so many scams feel oddly personal. The people reaching out already know your name, where you live, and sometimes even who you are related to. You can delete yourself from these databases, but it is a pain. There are hundreds of brokers, each with their own opt-out process, and many will just add your info back unless you keep at it. The only way I know to solve this problem is a service I use called Incogni. Incogni tracks down the data brokers that have your information, sends the removal requests for you, and keeps checking back so your data stays off their lists. Once it is set up, you do not have to think about it again. This has been the simplest way I have found to cut down how much of my personal info is circulating online, and to reduce the chances of being targeted by more convincing scams. If you want to do the same, I worked with Incogni to get a discount for iPhone Life readers. Use code IPHONELIFE at checkout to save 55%. If you sign up, I recommend the Unlimited plan. It is what I use, and it is very comprehensive.
