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

[bhff02 at aol.com]

 There are many services that offer to delete your personal information, generally for a fee. There are also DIY approaches if you have the time and inclination. There's also the opportunity to get yourself into more trouble by downloading nefarious apps. or possibly having a paid service delete your info that you prefer to retain.
I haven't tried any such services, and only quickly skimmed the following:

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!”
