Multiple sources, including a Business Insider review citing a Deloitte audit, PCMag, and a CNBC guide, report that Incogni automatically removes data from over 420 data broker sites, consistent with the claim as of 2026-10-27.

What was said

… Your home address, phone number, even information about your family. Data brokers collect and sell this information, potentially putting you at risk of scams, identity theft, and fraud.

What we found

Supports. Business Insider's review (published 2026-05-26) says Incogni sends automatic deletion requests to over 420 data brokers, and that a Deloitte audit validates its coverage of over 420 data brokers.[3]

Supports. PCMag's 2026 roundup (published 2026-06-17) says Incogni automates removal from over 420 broker sites and currently manages removals for 420 websites.[4]

Supports. CNBC's guide (published 2026-11-02) says Incogni opts users out of more than 420 public and private data brokers, and Incogni's own product pages and 2022 blog report the same 420+ figure.[5][6][7]

Context. The Snopes and Reuters entries are not about Incogni's broker coverage, so they neither support nor contradict the figure.[1][2]
