[Lex Computer & Tech Group/LCTG] your data on the Internet

[Robert Primak]

 You can scrub your data from future viewing on the Web. And a paid service may help with that.
The problem is, once the data has been viewable, it can be downloaded and copied. It can migrate to the Dark Web, which no service can "scrub". 
Kim Komando is just trying to finance her usually helpful advice articles. She does have sponsors, and this appears to be one of them.
If you want to limit future spread of your info, maybe paying for this service would provide peace of mind. But as for what's been posted already (which is usually the greater concern) once it's out there, it cannot be called back. Just ask those unfortunate people who had their iCloud photos and videos leaked. Google can't find them, but the Dark Web still has copies. (Or so I'm told. I don't patronize the Dark Web.)

We all know that most of our private data is out there somewhere.

  

In Kim Komando’s recent blog she touted a product, INCOGNI.  Does anyone have experience with it or something they think is better?  I had never heard of it.

  

Here is what she posted

“Your personal info is all over the internet. Data brokers sell everything from your address to your Social Security number to anyone willing to pay. Enter Incogni. They scrub your personal info from the web. Use my link to try it for 60% off. On to making sure you’re always tech‑ahead!”
