I have been looking into data removal tools like Mozilla Monitor and Incogni, which charge a monthly price to remove your data from data broker sites. According to Mozilla, all they need is your name, bday, and address. I know doing this myself would be more efficient, but I don't have that much free time on my hands.

I already take source preventative measures like using alternative OSes, always on VPN, using foss/privacy friendly apps and software etc. so all that is really out there is likely to be just government or job related information. If my threat model is simply anti-corporate data harvesting, security against convenience crimes, and basic privacy, how valuable are services like this? Are they worth just paying 1 month for and then cancelling?

Id say so, nothing's perfect but they are pretty helpful.
