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.
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.
Its not modifying the code, it’s changing existing settings that are already available to be changed to optimal settings for privacy…
It is not a fork you are completely wrong.
