Incogni

Automated removal requests

Incogni says it covers 420+ data brokers, public and private, and that Deloitte checked that figure. You sign an authorization form once and it files the requests for you.

Recurring requests

It rescans people-search sites and sends fresh requests on a schedule, so a broker that adds you back gets another request. Annual plans run year-round.

Requests to private brokers

For brokers with private databases that cannot be searched, Incogni uses your region to pick the ones likely to hold your data and sends them opt-out requests anyway.

Custom removals

Unlimited plans let you submit links to any page showing your details, and a privacy specialist works on removing it. Incogni says this reaches 3,000+ further sites.

Progress reports and dashboard

A dashboard shows each broker's status and expected removal time, and monthly reports track what has been removed.

Family accounts

Family plans cover you and up to 4 other people from one account, with or without custom removals.

Kanary

Threat model per person

Kanary weighs each exposure by how likely it is to lead to doxxing, impersonation or phishing and works on those first, not only the easy opt-outs. It says it has covered more than 68,000 sites.

Search engines, brokers, social and AI

Core covers search engines and data brokers. Advanced adds social networks such as LinkedIn, X and YouTube, and AI chatbots, with full-site monitoring.

Google cleanup

After a source page is cleaned, Kanary asks Google to drop the link, handles Google's doxxing and harassment removals for sites that will not cooperate, and updates your Google settings to block new results.

Approve before removal

Unfamiliar results get a quick approve or deny check from you in the app, and known business-safe sites are skipped, which suits people who need a public profile.

Scans and reports

Core scans and sends removal requests monthly and emails a report once a month; Advanced scans weekly and reports twice a month, with live stats on the dashboard.

Escalations on Advanced

Advanced can enroll you in a state address confidentiality program, escalate stubborn sites to an attorney general and research active incidents. Some of these may cost extra.
