Not sure I'm ready to trust Google with even more of my personal information (required for their search).

I'm not convinced of the value.

Maybe this is a false comparison?

#Incogni (CA$10/month) found 131 entries and gotten 125 of them taken down.

#Google ($Free (sort of)) found 5 removed 1

Signed up with a certain health care company, the following day I was alerted to a search done of my name on a genealogy site. Extremely unsettling.

To be clear: info will still be up at the source website but NOT on the front page of Google. That's an improvement and a kick in the kidneys for data brokers' discoverability.
