This is worse than spam calls
Most people have never heard of companies like Mobilewalla or Gravy Analytics, but they know you.
The FTC just clamped down on these two for secretly vacuuming up people’s real-time location data without consent. Not just estimated neighborhoods or passing GPS flickers.
We’re talking exact coordinates, tied to your phone’s unique ID, showing where you went, when you were there, how long you stayed and where you headed to next. Basically your entire Tuesday, sold for $0.03.
Worse, they weren’t just tracking your shopping trips or traffic routes. They were building detailed profiles based on deeply personal locations, including:
🏥 Hospitals and clinics
Cancer centers. Fertility clinics. Mental health facilities. Addiction recovery programs. This isn’t just data. It’s your health privacy being packaged and sold to who knows who.
🕍 Places of worship
Yes, they tracked churches, synagogues, mosques and temples. Your religious beliefs became part of a marketable dataset whether you knew it or not.
🎖️ Military bases
Tracking phones at military installations is a national security issue. That didn’t stop these brokers.
🗳 Protests and political gatherings
Presidential rallies. Pro-Israel. Anti-Israel. Black Lives Matter. Women’s marches. Your right to assemble turned into a precise data point for targeted ads or worse.
And that’s just two companies. There are thousands more doing the same thing. This is why I don’t mess around when it comes to protecting my data.
🔒 Make it stop
Incogni does the work for you. It contacts data brokers and demands they delete your personal info, then follows up to make sure they do it. They’ve gotten my data removed from over 1,400 data broker and people search sites.
Since then?
- No more creepy texts or spammy calls
- No more junk mail or credit card offers
- No more digital tracking I never signed up for
- No more ads that are super targeted
