OpenCorporates: data broker profile and opt-out route
This record explains how to contact OpenCorporates, what the catalog currently records about its request workflow, what information may be needed to match a record, and what evidence to keep. It is a source-backed routing reference—not proof that OpenCorporates accepted, processed, or completed a request.
Quick answer
To request removal from OpenCorporates, first verify the current request route because the latest read-only page observation is privacy or consumer-rights context page; submission route not confirmed using data.protection@opencorporates.com. The catalog currently records Email as the request method, an estimated processing time of 7-14 days, and latest evidence dated 2026-08-13.

How to use this OpenCorporates opt-out record
- 1
Open the provider route and confirm that it matches OpenCorporates and the type of record you want to address.
- 2
Prepare only the matching information the provider asks for. The catalog records required fields as The OpenCorporates Record Or URL, The Specific Personal Information And Requested Correction Or Removal, Evidence That The Official Public Source Has Been Corrected Where Applicable.
- 3
Review the request, submit it yourself, save any confirmation, and re-check the source listing after the provider window. A prepared draft is not a completed deletion.

What this record is associated with
The catalog and matched registry evidence associate this provider with the following data domains:
- social platform
- marketplace directory
- account data
- user content
These labels describe documented business or registry context. They do not prove that a particular person has a profile or that every listed domain uses the same request route.
Registry-declared data and regulatory signals
Data signals
Not recorded in matched registry rows.
Published sharing context
No positive sharing flag recorded.
Regulated contexts
No positive regulated-context flag recorded.
These are provider or registry declarations where available. They describe collection or business context; they do not prove that a particular person appears in the database or that removal will affect every downstream recipient.
Identity and verification boundary
Provider-specific expectation: OpenCorporates says removal requests are assessed case by case; the cited sources do not state a standard government-ID requirement.
Government-ID expectation: not_stated_in_authoritative_source
Do not attach a government ID or other sensitive document unless the provider's current instructions require it for the request you are making. Redact unnecessary fields where the provider allows it.
Legal entity and registry context
No matched government-registry profile is recorded for this catalog entry yet. Treat the provider name and route as source-backed catalog data, not as a confirmed legal-entity relationship.
Evidence, freshness, and limitations
Evidence grade: Privacy or consumer-rights context page; submission route not confirmed. Useful evidence: this record tracks 66/258 tracked fields across 83 evidence facts. Privacy or consumer-rights context page; submission route not confirmed (date not recorded). Next route recheck due 2026-09-27.
The source links below support the recorded route and workflow fields. A source page, HTTP response, registry row, or email address does not prove that a provider accepted a request, deleted data, or will not republish it.
