Ever Googled yourself and thought, “What the heck is that doing online?” Old addresses, phone numbers and even the car you drive are all out there. Worse, it’s probably on some sketchy people search site or buried in a mountain of search results.

I’ve been there too. After I went on a mission to wipe my info from every site I could find, I barely made a dent. That’s when I found Incogni.

The solution that works

I started with Incogni’s standard service. They send opt-out requests to 250+ data broker sites. Watching that removal list grow felt amazing. No more spam calls or texts cluttering up my phone, either. But some of the worst offenders, like search engine results, aren’t part of this deal.

So, I upgraded to Incogni Unlimited, which took things to the next level. You can submit links to specific sites where your info is shown. Spot yourself on a people search page? Just send it to Incogni. They’ll handle it until, poof, it’s gone.

You got the power

Before you say, “Kim, this sounds like a lot of work.” It isn’t. Incogni makes submissions a breeze.

Here’s how to do it:

1. Copy the URL where you see your info.
2. Paste it into your Incogni dashboard.
3. Their team checks if it’s eligible (spoiler: it usually is).
4. They reach out and sort out the removal for you.
5. You get a notification when it’s done.

Submit as many links as you want. Unlike other services that cap you, Incogni lets you go wild.

Is there anything they can’t remove?

Some sites are off-limits, like government records, criminal conviction reports or social media accounts. But almost everything else is fair game.
