This is the exact thing I did to remove my personal data from the Internet. If you're new here. Hi, I'm Caitlin. I'm a cyber security and data protection expert and I want to help you build your data online. Let's go. Those of you that don't realize if you guys are still getting spam texts and calls, that means your personal data is out there online. And if you don't believe me, just search your name and then type phone number after and then see how your phone number just pops up immediately. So what I used to do is go to every single individual data broker, search my name, and then go through the entire opt out process, which honestly takes five to 15 minutes for each one. And honestly, there's so many data brokers out there, this would take me a while. And I would do this every month or so because every time you sign up for a new service, your data is being sold back to the data brokers. I realized that this was a huge game of Whack a Mole, which I didn't want to partake in and honestly I didn't have the time to partake in it. So I actually use a deletion service called Incogni and I partnered them because I absolutely love them so much. They've saved me so much time and they submit my opt out requests for me. And on top of that they removed from 700 plus. Actually, they have unlimited opt out requests. You can constantly ask for more opt outs and there's a clear dashboard that shows me all the opt out requests they submitted and how much time I've saved. This is honestly the best and easiest way to remove your data, in my personal opinion. Comment Incogni and I'll send you a link and if you have any questions, just comment them below. Also, this is the final look. Make sure you like and follow for more cybersecurity tips.
