Reply To: Data Removal Service Hi all, Anyone any recommendations for data removal service in UK? I have seen several by some only work in US etc. For example is incogni any good? I’ve seen…

I’m tempted by incogni but looking at reviews, one thing concerned me.  Someone said they signed up and incogni had sent something like 40 requests to different brokers to remove there data, one of them replied and copied in the actual person and they saw that the initial request to remove them contained there data, i.e. name, address, number etc and the broker replied saying they didn’t hold the data but effectively they have just given it all to them. o if they didn’t have it, they now did.

Slightly concerning, I was expecting them to have to give a name or a email etc to remove but not provide all the info as maybe the company only has a email for you but now they potentially have gained your address, number etc.

For some things I guess they need to provide this in order to get your info removed to prove you are the person but I was expecting them to only provide the info they needed i.e. if they only help a email address and name, specify the name and email only, they don’t need to know your phone number, address and whatever else they send them.  Seems more of a blanket email to say remove any of this info you hold and they covered so to speak.

I’m basically wanting to reduce the spam email and calls I keep getting which has picked up in last few months, so much that I not have my mobile on silent for any number that calls that I don’t have in my my phone.  Which is fine apart from when you are expecting a call from someone say a Doctor for instance and you don’t know what number they will call from, likely to be missed as silenced.
