What if Google finally forgot about you? Between your old blogs and the sites that sell your data, here's how to clean up the internet.

Have you searched for your name on the internet recently? Between your LinkedIn profile and obscure sites that list your address, the web seems to have the memory of an elephant. Fortunately, tools like Incogni allow you to regain control. The service's latest update goes further: it now removes your information from any site, including Google results.

Incogni, already known for hunting your data at brokers, is now tackling stubborn web pages. No more detective work: send the URL, and the tool takes care of the rest. A godsend for those who want to turn the page on their past. digital.

Incogni Unlimited: the expanded sweep

Until now, Incogni scanned 250 sites specializing in data resale. But what if your address is hanging around on a forgotten forum or a local directory? The new "Unlimited" formula allows you to submit any URL (except social networks, blogs, and government sites). The service sends an automated deletion request and then verifies its application.

The dashboard tracks the progress of requests, even on less cooperative platforms. Of course, nothing guarantees 100% success; some sites ignore requests, but Incogni persists until your information disappears.

In terms of pricing, expect €12.99/month for an annual individual subscription. A "Family" option allows you to protect up to 5 people for €24.49/month. An investment that may seem high, but necessary given the proliferation of scams (spam, phishing) stemming from these databases.

Brokers collect your information via public records, online purchases, or social networks, with the aim of selling it to marketers, or even scammers. By making your contact information disappear, you reduce the risk of harassment or identity theft.

Incogni doesn't work miracles: your personal blog or Instagram account will remain visible. But for the rest, it's the simplest solution, even if it's unfortunately not free.
