One of the best ways to keep yourself safe online is by limiting how much personal information you share. That includes everything from what you post on social media to the account information you include when signing up for a new service. Manually deleting unnecessary personal information is a solid strategy, but it can be difficult to remember just where all that data is hiding, and things can slip through the cracks for even the most avid data-privacy aficionado.
Luckily, the folks who made the popular Surfshark VPN have created a handy service called Incogni that searches out and deletes your lingering online personal data. The service cross-references your personal information against a list that includes “hundreds of data brokers and people search websites,” and deletes your information from those databases if it finds a match. Doing so limits who can access and sell your personal information, and having your data saved in fewer places lowers your risk of identity theft in the event of a data breach.
Normally, Incogni costs $13/month, but for a limited time, GameSpot readers can get 55% off a full year of service by using the promo code GAMESPOT55 at checkout. Anyone in the US, UK, Canada, EU, and Switzerland are eligible for the deal.
