What makes you think your data has even been sold at all? Most likely a majority of those companies are just resellers of TransUnion, Equifax, or Experian. The 3 big credit bureaus. So while incogni sent then requests the smaller companies may host no data of yours, just the other 3.

I'm aware that money is made. Most of the time companies are buying API feeds of data from the big 3. So unless someone specifically looked you up, then I am saying your data is probably just sitting in their databases.

Former maintainer of the .xz project for about a year or two. Hid a backdoor into the code that almost made it into many bigger distros if it wasn't found by a Microsoft employee.
