In the course of your life, online and off, you leave a lot of data about yourself scattered around the internet.

Some of it you probably don't want to be out there, like your address, phone number, or social security number.

Incogni is a service that tracks down and removes your personal data from multiple sites across the web,

not just malicious leaks on the dark web, but online

directories, search sites, and commercial databases.

All of those can be used by malicious actors.

Incogni has both an automated component where they search for your data and get it removed,

but also a custom removal feature.

If you find your info somewhere you don't want it to be,

you can let Incogni know and a dedicated privacy expert will handle it for you.

I've been using the service for several months now, and you wouldn't believe how many times

my name appears in easily available records online, or how much peace of mind it confers once

they're removed.

So take your personal data back with incogni.

to make choices and decisions based on reasons that can have a causal

influence on how the world behaves? Yes, you have. I know you have. Don't worry. I'm just

kidding. You've heard about free will. It's a hot topic. For reasons that I will admit, I do

not completely understand why free will is such a hot topic.
