This ZoomInfo opt out guide will walk you through the process of removing your personal and business information from the data broker website.

ZoomInfo is business-to-business (B2B) software with automation, marketing, outreach and sales features. It also has recruiting tools to find potential employees, data management tools and more.

However, while ZoomInfo’s database posts business information online that can be beneficial to some professionals, you may not want your company or personal info to be easily accessible.

Maybe you’re no longer in charge of companies you used to run, or you’ve noticed that the personal information on ZoomInfo is inaccurate or out of date.

There are a lot of reasons for wanting to remove information from ZoomInfo. If you would like to delete your data from ZoomInfo, this opt out guide will walk you through the process.

The links will bring you to the same opt out form, so it doesn’t matter which one you click.

4. Request the verification code.

On the “Your Privacy > Remove” page, fill in the form and request the code. You’ll need to enter your email address and phone number, and you can enter your full name, too, though it’s optional. When you’re done, click the red Get Code button.

6. Enter the code on ZoomInfo.

Enter the code from the email into the ZoomInfo box. Click Confirm when you’re done.

Next, you’ll be brought to a “Remove My Profile” page, which serves as a verification form to ensure you want to remove your business information and/or personal information from the website.

Here’s the additional information ZoomInfo needs to verify your data removal from the site:

  • The reason why you want to opt out of having your business information online.
  • Whether or not you want to share your privacy preference with other data brokers.
  • Anything else you want ZoomInfo to know about why you don’t want your private info included in search results. (This field is optional).

When you’re done, click the Submit button.

NetReputation Can Help With Content Removal

Even if you successfully remove your info from ZoomInfo’s database, there are numerous data broker sites online aside from ZoomInfo. While you probably want to submit a “delete my information” request to each of those data brokers, doing so can feel like a full-time job. Plus, there’s no guarantee that you’ll be able to remove your private info from all of those websites now or in the future.

NetReputation has a strong track record of working with data brokers on the opt out process to remove your personal information. Additionally, if you would like to delete or suppress other negative content or personal information online, we can help with that, too.
