0 of 3 done
  1. If your name/personal info appears in a complaint or review you or someone else submitted, locate the specific Business Profile page and use its "contact the publishing BBB" link.
  2. Alternatively, email the address listed in the BBB Privacy Policy (bbb.org/privacy-policy) requesting access, correction, or deletion of your personal information.
  3. For EU/UK residents, BBB National Programs' Global Privacy Division complaint portal (bbbprograms.org/programs/all-programs/GlobalPrivacyDivision/gpd-complaints-portal) is an additional formal channel.
