If I heard you right, there is only a California law in the US. Does this mean it only works for Residents of California or against brokers based in California?
In the EU/EEA, that's required by law. If the company has no legal reason to process your personal data, and you exercise your right according to art. 17 GDPR, they will have to erase that data and give you a feedback within a month. Otherwise, you can either submit a complaint to the relevant Data Protection Authority (there's at least one for each EU member State), OR start a civil proceeding in a Court.
lol ive been harrassed by trading companies for 10 years now, and they wont remove my info no matter how many times I tell them to. They keep selling my info to their affiliates, and this keeps going on for ever. Yeah they refuse to remove anything, cause they are not a branded company that you can sue. They change names every month. Good luck with that. Besides I bet incogni is a subdivision of data brokers themselves and play both sides of the game. How else would they have access to all that info, and have resources to do what they claim to do for you for only 6$? No way. They take your money to harass you less. Its like paying a sub to avoid ads. Smart.
INCOGNI- does not work, at least for me ... I checked, I paid twice, because it's already using service for 2 months and what ... almost nothing. After 45 days from 93, progress 23, 70 is waiting, so I send a refund e-mail , and I got it, but only for 1 month, because it's over 30 days, well, yes, but Incogni makes you wait 45 days, that's how long it takes-give to others companies time to delete your data. Great work/never again!
Generally I'm not a big fan of these services. The concept sounds nice, but the problem is you end up with these reports that says "this company whose name you've never heard of has your data! Shall we tell them to delete it?" Except when you say yes, you find out that while you nevere heard of that company, you've definitely heard of the site or service that they own/run, and by deleting your data, you also deleted your account with said site/service.
Huh? Is that not obvious? The point of services like Incogni, DeleteMe, Mine, etc. is to delete all your data that they have on you. That should imply it means any accounts you have with that company. For example, if you have an Etsy account, but you haven't used it in years, and you don't plan on it, then you would request the service (at least for Mine since I've personally used Mine), to send an automated email requesting the deletion of your data.
@@John-Smith02 Right. The problem is you don't know what companies are what. So you get your report and it doesn't say "Etsy." It lists the name of Etsy's parent company. But you don't recognize said parent company. You say "who tf is this?" and you delete your data. Guess what? You no longer have an Etsy account.
@@John-Smith02 cool story. But I've done this before. I got reports for a few hundred companies and 2/3 of them I'd never heard of. I ended up fighting for a month to get accounts recovered because I told "RandoCorp LMTD" to delete my info only to find that RandoCorp was the parent company of three communities and a store I had accounts in.
@@WraithTDK what service or services did you use if I may ask? And yes, you're right about some parts. Like Mine will show some companies that I don't have any idea who they are, but I try to dig around and find out.
I have incogni for the year and it seems like a great idea. But only having 76 data brokers you contact on the first day of service. I don’t see why I didn’t subscribe for just a month. And I’ve also gotten back a ton of rejected responses. What’s the point if data brokers just reject the request?
What's estimate time for have like the 4000 brokers, you said on the video? I think that these services will only be completely usefull when they have more data brokers. Some one that enters like 3 years from now and pay 4 dollars will be deleted the same amount of data as someone entering now and paying 4 dollars for each increase and attempt, right? Thanks
What is the point of advertising this product when at least in the UK internet providers use to block them all. First double check if your internet provider does it and then ....
This is a new video, still the prices I get offered is 11.49$ month or 70$ yearly.. That is quite a big jump from what I see in the video. Why is that?
Yes of course but if you use email/phone number masking along with a non static ip vpn it would make it hard to do. Your main personal accounts will still create a profile though because matching personal details
Hi, does Incogni delete accounts from social media or shopping accounts such as LinkedIn or Amazon? OR Does it only delete data that is publicly available ? So, for example there is a danger that Incogni incorrectly deletes accounts. For example, I do NOT want my data stored with the latest Crypto scam, however I DO need to keep data with my mortgage provider It is not clear what is being deleted and how Incogni distinguishes them I await your response
@@SurfsharkAcademy Thanks for the quick reply. It gives a good first impression. Note: For those reading this, Surfshark responded within 1 hour of posting I have read the links you have sent However... The question has not been answered clearly. Do you only delete publicly listed internet info or do I need to worry about you deleting genuine accounts such Amazon or LinkedIn?
@@SurfsharkAcademy That's the answer I needed. Thanks for a swift response. You have a new customer! Do you have any promo deals, if so kindly send a link
dont waist your money $...no one with nefarious intent will give up or delete your data...only a good vpn and or vigilance of your local data will help just a little bit.

Correct, not whole of USA.
What about Canada? Can I use here?
Once you prove no company can just refuse to delete data and they respect the laws that oblige them to do so, well I'm in.
They did they legit said they have a legal team to ensure removel

ok, let me rephrase that... Once it's working is such countries as China, Russia and India, well I'm in.

@Surfshark I appreciate the thorough response and am looking forward to the future expansions especially the people search sites.
Is this for one individual or is there a family plan?
What kind of personal info are they deleting here exactly? Thats really all i want to know.

Be very careful about giving anyone you don’t know a power of attorney!
I was thinking exactly that. What assurance do people have that the power of attorney won't be abused?
@@bearded1derr You have none .
@@bearded1derr it’s a very limited scope and does not offer generalized usage from what I read.
@@brandonkruger4853 What do you mean regarding your comment?
@@newguy3588The form describes exactly what you’re authorizing incogni to do. They cannot go beyond that scope.
I'd like a people Search delete on the Internet. Also, where do you buy those Surfshark sweatshirts?

Covers only 76 Data brokers? You said earlier there were 4000 and would take 66 years to complete.
This is a very interesting idea. Sad to see it not being available in Malaysia.

Can you insert multiple emails?
Does anyone know if there is an option to enter more than one email? I have 2 i used and I would love to add the other one
According to their website, that's not an option yet. But is on their roadmap.
how to use it?
But they will continue to collect my data right, even if the old data gets deleted?
Notice how this guy doesn't respond to comments. What a joke.
Yes of course but if you use email/phone number masking along with a non static ip vpn it would make it hard to do. Your main personal accounts will still create a profile though because matching personal details
What happens when you have several email addresses?
@@SurfsharkAcademy please add that quickly.
after that they collect ur data and sell to the broker
