TechGlimmerData brokers quietly turn your life into a product: addresses, phone numbers, relatives, property data, and more—sold in bulk to marketers and scammers.
In a new TechGlimmer review, I share what happened when I stopped doing manual opt-outs and hired an automated agent instead: Incogni.

Joe SteinbringTrying to protect my shit!
A few years ago, I bought a one-year subscription to Incogni, and about 18 months ago, I did the same with DeleteMe. Services like these want you to stay subscribed indefinitely. Their pitch is that data brokers are constantly scraping new sources, purchasing new datasets, and reshuffling what they store – so even if they remove your information today, there’s a good chance it will reappear tomorrow. I switched between providers because I assumed each one had different partnerships and coverage, and hopping between them might help knock my information off the widest range of lists.
When my DeleteMe subscription expired in August, it didn’t take long before my information started bubbling back up in searches. The data-broker ecosystem is a bit like whack-a-mole: you push down your profile in one place, and it pops up somewhere else. I figured I’d revisit Incogni for another round, until I realized there’s now a third option in this space.
That service is Optery. Out of curiosity, I signed up to see how well the previous two subscriptions did. Optery scanned the sources they monitor – 386 datasets in total – and found me in 132 of them. That was after a full year with each of the other two providers. It was a good reminder that no matter who you use, none of these services are a one-and-done solution.
To be clear, this isn’t an advertisement for any of these companies. In my experience, they’re all broadly similar in what they promise and how they operate. I’m also not arguing that everyone needs one of these subscriptions. But I do appreciate the peace of mind that comes with knowing you can’t just Google my name and immediately find my phone number. In a world where personal data spreads faster than ever, even partial control feels worth something.

Article image…Erase yourself from the internet: How to take back what’s yours with Incogni, December 3, 2025
Your name, address, phone number, SSN, family information, and even past employment history could be scattered across hundreds, sometimes thousands, of websites you’ve never even heard of. Data brokers, people-search sites, and shady public databases collect and trade your personal details like currency.
And once it’s out there, it doesn’t just disappear. You need to remove it manually or use a data removal service, such as Incogni, to simplify the process and save yourself a headache.
Your data’s not theirs to sell
Article image…The unsettling truth is that these companies gather your information without your consent, slap it on a webpage, and often charge others to access it.
You may have been aware of this before; if not, you don’t have to take our word for it. Google your full name along with your city. You’ll likely find pages listing your phone numbers, family members, home addresses, and other personal information.
These aren’t harmless listings — they lead to:
- Spam calls, emails, and texts
- Phishing scams that use personal details to trick you
- Stalkers or exes tracking you down
- Identity thieves building a profile on you
Why it’s so hard to remove your personal data
If you’ve ever tried removing yourself from these sites manually, you know it’s a total headache.
Some bury their opt-out pages deep in fine print. Others make you jump through hoops and prolong the process by asking for more personal information, documents, and signed requests.
It’s confusing, time-consuming, and deliberately frustrating. Even if you do manage to get your personal information pulled off sites, data broker sites often re-list you after a few months, so you need to continuously monitor where your information is appearing.
