Removing yourself, step by step

0 of 6 done
  1. Select your state (or "Any other state" — the policy says it honors delete and opt-out requests from any state).
  2. Choose "delete and opt out of the sale of my personal information"; the policy notes deletion alone covers only data collected directly from you, while the opt-out is what removes you from its products.
  3. Fill in name, address, birthdate, email and phone, request and enter the verification code, accept the declaration, and submit.
  4. Or call (800) 938-9516; questions about the policy go to privacy@catalist.us.
  5. Answer any follow-up asking for identification; residents of the appeal states listed in the policy can appeal a denial through the same form.

How they confirm it

the form requires state of residence, full name, street address, city, zip, birthdate, email and phone, a code sent to verify the request, and a declaration under penalty of perjury; the policy says you may need to prove residency and "provide a piece of identification". Authorized agents need a signed, dated written authorization naming the consumer's name, email and phone and the rights authorized

If they ignore you

California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) / CA Attorney General under the CCPA and Delete Act (CA registered data broker); residents of the other states the policy names (e.g. Colorado, Oregon, New Jersey): appeal via the form, then that state's Attorney General
