We guide you through the process, explain the risks, and help you take control of your data, without the complexity.
What Is Internet Scrubbing?
Internet Scrubbing (sometimes called data removal or digital footprint reduction) is the process of locating and removing sensitive personal or business information from:
- Data broker sites
- People-finder sites
- Public records aggregators
- Marketing databases
- Identity-theft risk sources
This protects you from:
- Phishing attacks
- Identity theft
- Social engineering
- Reputation damage
- Unwanted exposure of personal data
Unlike traditional cybersecurity tools, Internet Scrubbing focuses on removing the information attackers rely on in the first place.

We explain what data brokers collect, how it affects you, and why SMBs are increasingly targeted.
✔ Step-by-step guidance
We help you understand which data removal tool is right for your needs.
✔ Facilitated access to Incogni
STS works with Incogni, a trusted data-broker removal service, to make the process fast, simple, and effective.
✔ Ongoing support and check-ins
We don’t vanish after the sign-up. We answer questions, explain results, and review your exposure over time.
You get a human advisor, not just a dashboard.
How Incogni Protects Your Privacy
Through our partner, Incogni automatically contacts and negotiates with dozens (or hundreds) of data brokers to remove your personal or business information from their databases.
Their process includes:
- Identifying where your data is being sold or stored
- Filing removal requests on your behalf
- Ensuring compliance with privacy laws (GDPR, CCPA, etc.)
- Monitoring for re-posted data
- Repeating the removal cycle regularly
This reduces your digital footprint and dramatically lowers your vulnerability to targeted attacks.
Who Benefits From Internet Scrubbing?
Small & Mid-sized Business Owners
Your name, address, family info, and contact details are often publicly available. Attackers use this to craft convincing phishing attempts.
Executives & Public-Facing Staff
The more exposure a leader has, the more targeted they become.
Medical, Legal, and Financial Professionals
Industries where privacy breaches can destroy trust.
Nonprofits & Community Organizations
Often targeted due to weaker defenses and public visibility.
Anyone Worried About Identity Theft
Removing public data greatly reduces your personal risk.
