About Incogni

Incogni is a personal data removal service. It contacts data brokers and people-search sites on a customer's behalf and asks them to delete the person's address, phone number and family details, working on an ongoing basis so the information does not simply reappear. The pitch is to reduce spam, exposure to scammers and the use of personal data by third parties.

The service handles the process automatically after sign-up and offers a business option. The vendor cites a Deloitte assessment of its removal practices, which readers should treat as the company's own claim. Incogni is part of the same family of privacy products as Surfshark.

Incogni is proprietary and fully hosted, with nothing to install on your own servers. Annual plans are advertised, a 30-day money-back guarantee is advertised, and plan details sit on its pricing page.
