Use a service to remove your data from the internet

Services like DeleteMe ($8/mo) or Incogni ($6/mo) contact data brokers and people-search sites to remove your personal information. After deleting social media, these services clean up the trail of data that has been scraped and resold across the web.

Why It Works

Deleting your account removes your profile but not the copies of your data already harvested by data brokers. Removal services systematically request deletion from hundreds of brokers, which is impractical to do yourself.

Tips

• DeleteMe covers 750+ data broker sites and provides regular reports on what was removed
• Incogni is more affordable and automates GDPR/CCPA removal requests
• These services work continuously because data brokers re-add your information over time
• For a free alternative, manually opt out of the top 10 people-search sites (Spokeo, WhitePages, BeenVerified)
