Frequently Asked Questions

How is Incogni different from DeleteMe?
They're very similar; Incogni is slightly cheaper, while DeleteMe has been around longer and offers a couple plan.
Do data brokers actually comply?
In states with CCPA (California) and under GDPR, they're legally required to. Incogni tracks compliance for you.
What if I'm not in California or Europe?
Incogni still sends requests. Compliance rates are lower outside regulated regions, but many brokers honor requests anyway.
Can I see which sites have my data?
Yes — your dashboard shows each broker and their current status.
Does it cover medical data brokers?
Some — it's focused primarily on consumer data brokers.
