Incogni has great advertising claims, but it feels pretty expensive as an ongoing subscription. Have you used it or do you currently use it? Please tell me about it.

Do not use any such services online. That will just generate another data point. Instead do it yourself manually. And in future create new email for every service. And use something like fake name generator to get name and email ID.

I’ve already been creating a unique email address for nearly every service, for many years. That probably complicates something like Incogni, which is a good point, thanks. It’s also amusing and telling when the phishing emails start coming into equifax@mydomain (true story).
