Stop spam calls by fighting data brokers with Incogni

Stop unwanted calls with Incogni

Spam calls and robocalls flood our iPhones as our personal information is accessed through data brokers, but you can put an end to this madness with the help of online data deletion services.

The number one commodity on the Internet is user information. They are collected and sold en masse by companies to data brokers.

These practices mean that a person’s private information can be easily found online without much effort, including phone numbers. Unwanted calls from telemarketers, religious groups, political organizers, and other types of spam can cause a user’s phone to constantly ring.

Using call blocking services to stop these unwanted calls or features like silencing unknown callers won’t solve the problem either. Do not call lists and spam number registries can only go so far: as long as your phone number is accessible to spammers, the calls will continue.

Spam is not the only problem, as scam calls will attempt to access critical accounts and information using methods such as neighbor impersonation. This is where an unknown call is made using a number that looks like yours.

Call blocking does not solve the problem

User data exchanged over the web generates enormous amounts of information about a single user, which can lead to privacy, security, and safety issues. Stop spam calls, remove your information from sketchy people search sites, and take control of your privacy by protecting your data from data brokers.

Being careful with your data won’t help you either, as simply browsing the web or purchasing from certain retail websites can provide data to brokers. Users can search for data themselves and request its deletion, which is a legal requirement for data brokers and people search sites, but this manual process can take an individual up to 300 hours to complete.

This is where Incogni comes into play.

The company works on behalf of the user to search user data on the Internet using an algorithm. Incogni files a deletion request when data is found and can even contact one of hundreds of data brokers directly to have user data deleted.
