What's the core difference between Privzr and Incogni or DeleteMe?

Privzr is a browser extension that scans your inbox locally on your machine — your emails never leave your device. Incogni and DeleteMe are cloud services that act as your agent on a server: you hand them your name, address, and email and they query brokers on your behalf.

Which one is cheapest?

Privzr is free to try (1 scan + 5 instant deletions), with a one-time €89 Lifetime tier. Incogni is roughly €7–12/month billed annually; DeleteMe starts around €129/year for one person. Over 3 years, Privzr Lifetime is dramatically cheaper than either subscription.

Do Incogni and DeleteMe cover the EU?

Both cover GDPR-eligible deletions in the EU, but their broker coverage was originally built for the US data-broker ecosystem. Privzr is GDPR-first and focuses on the brokers and marketers that actually email EU/Belgian/Dutch users.

What about my Gmail / Outlook credentials?

Privzr never sees your password — the extension reads the inbox you're already logged into, locally. Incogni and DeleteMe do not read your inbox at all; they ask for personal details (name, email, address) which they then send to brokers on your behalf.

Is this guide free to use?

Yes. Every Privzr guide is free, requires no signup, and works whether or not you use the Privzr app. You can copy the templates, contact details, and steps and act on them yourself.

How long does the process usually take?

Under the GDPR (Article 12(3)) and equivalent CCPA/CPRA rules, organisations must respond within one calendar month. Most legitimate companies confirm within a few business days; stubborn ones use the full 30 days.

What if the company ignores my request or refuses?

Send one written follow-up referencing the original date, then file a complaint with your national data-protection authority — the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens in the Netherlands, the ICO in the UK, the CNIL in France, or your state attorney general in the US. Complaints are free and regulators do act on patterns.

Does Privzr store the personal data I submit?

Privzr only stores the minimum needed to send and track your erasure requests (email address and request status). We never sell data, and you can delete your Privzr account at any time from the dashboard.

Pick Privzr if…

You'd rather your inbox never leave your device, you want a one-time payment instead of a recurring subscription, and you're targeting EU brokers under GDPR.

Pick Incogni if…

You're in the US, want a hands-off cloud service, and are comfortable handing a vendor your identity to query brokers on your behalf every month.

Pick DeleteMe if…

You want human operators handling escalations against US people-search sites and you don't mind the higher yearly price for white-glove support.
