14 criteria from five major categories-transgressions, data collection and retention, user control, and consent, transparency, and user-friendliness, were used to rate the data removal service Incogni.


  • In its ranking study, the company stated, "Our analysts have developed a thorough privacy ranking that indicates considerable variances in the data-protection methods of various platforms."
  • Reddit has the highest privacy score at 8.9, followed by Snapchat at 9.99 and Pinterest at 10.49.
  • "Snapchat and Reddit reduce long-term data exposure and increase user anonymity," said John Price, founder and CEO of cybersecurity services company SubRosa.
  • For instance, he added, "Snapchat's disappearing messages lower the chance of data being preserved, while Reddit allows users to interact without disclosing personal information."
  • In contrast to data-driven networks, these platforms typically gather less personal data, he told TechNewsWorld.
  • According to Shaila Rana, a professor at Purdue Global, an online public institution, "Reddit permits anonymous identities and they do not ask a lot of personal information for sign-up."
  • She told TechNewsWorld, "Reddit is more about communities than creating a personal profile."
  • In addition, she noted that Snapchat lacks public news feeds like Facebook and LinkedIn and not only provides vanishing messages but also alerts users if someone takes a screenshot of their content. According to her, "it is what decreases its privacy hazards." "It is used more privately."
