How Exposed is My Personal Information? 🤔 Who is the Ultimate 'Data Deletion Service'?
Are you worried about your personal information floating around online? 😥 Recently, two data deletion services, Incogni and Kanary, have been gaining attention. I was really curious after seeing these news! Shall we take a closer look at which service can protect our precious personal information? 🧐

Hello! 👋
Nowadays, the term 'personal information leakage' is heard frequently while browsing the internet. Where and how is my information being used? Is my information drifting on broker sites without my knowledge… just thinking about it gives me a headache. 😩
I've thoroughly researched services that can alleviate these worries! They are two data deletion services called Incogni and Kanary. They are said to act like 'personal information guardians' in the online world. Aren't you curious too? 😄
Incogni: Surfshark's Reliable Supporter 🛡️
Let's look at Incogni first. This service appeared in 2022. Which company developed it? It was launched by Surfshark, already famous for its VPN (Virtual Private Network) app! 💪
Incogni's biggest advantage is that it finds and deletes our personal information from numerous broker sites. It searches for our information like a detective and allows us to delete it automatically or upon our request. 🕵️♀️
What's even more amazing is that after the initial scan, it frequently rescans to meticulously manage whether our information is being uploaded to new broker sites. It's like a digital companion protecting our privacy 24/7, isn't it? ✨ It's available through monthly or annual subscriptions.
Kanary: Faithful to the Core Mission of Data Deletion! 💯
So, what kind of service is Kanary? Kanary is a specialized personal data deletion app founded in 2020. From its inception to the present, it has focused on the core function of finding and deleting users' personal information from the web. 🎯
Kanary also scans various data brokers and people-finder sites to locate our personal information and sends deletion requests when necessary. Like Incogni, it handles the tedious deletion tasks on our behalf. 👍

How Do They Differ? 🤔
Of course, both services share the same goal of removing our personal information from the web, but there are a few differences upon closer inspection.
- Launch Date: Incogni was launched in 2022, and Kanary in 2020, so Kanary started a bit earlier.
- Backing: It's noteworthy that Incogni is backed by Surfshark, a VPN specialist company.
- Features: While both services automate scanning and deletion requests, there might be differences in their detailed scanning methods or management aspects.
Beyond these, we can compare them based on various criteria such as price and the number of broker sites covered. What do you consider most important? 🤔
Why is Our Personal Information at Risk? 😥
Frankly, the fact that our personal information can be so easily exposed is a bit sad. 😔
Through services like these, we often realize where we've shared our information and how many places it's circulating. For example, information from a shopping mall membership we joined long ago could be leaked, or information provided for an event participation could be found in unexpected places.
I believe these services are truly useful because they save us the effort of manually searching and sending deletion requests. It's like an 'online digital organization service', isn't it? ✨
What Are Your Thoughts? 🤔
How are you protecting your online privacy? Have you ever used services like Incogni or Kanary? Or are you using other methods? I would be very grateful if you could share your valuable experiences or thoughts in the comments! 🙏
Let's actively protect our precious personal information instead of neglecting it any longer! 💪
Wishing everyone a safe and enjoyable online life, I'll be back with more useful information next time! 😊
