Thoughts on Incogni

Hi everyone!

 

We are currently exploring a partnership with Incogni and would love to hear from you guys. Specifically, we are looking at a few things:

We are aware they are a subsidiary of/another service offered by Surfshark, but we are not looking to promote their VPN, only Incogni.

 

Again, thank you very much for your time =).

 

*Please note that our team does our own research and testing around vetting sponsor products and services. However, we've found that soliciting feedback from the community can sometimes add something new to the conversation that we weren't aware of*

I might be misremembering, but wasn't there a bit of discussion over whether the "service" they provide can be proven to have done anything?

 

Like, how does the subscriber know that a) their personal info has (legitimately) been found, b) that the info holder actually has taken action to remove it, or c) that that removal has a tangible benefit?

It definitely sounds familiar.

Hi @AbydosOne! Thank you for your reply! I believe you can find answers to most, if not all of those questions on this page. If further clarification is required, please let me know and I can see if I can dig a bit deeper, but the service seems to be set up similar to many of their competitors, where they do as much as they can within legal boundaries and send regular progress reports to the user's emails.
