What AutoWeb, Inc. knows about you, and why removal matters
AutoWeb, Inc. is a California-registered data broker that operates, at least in part, under the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). That means some of the information it assembles can be used in consumer reports that influence decisions about your credit, employment, housing, or insurance eligibility. FCRA status matters for removal: alongside your California deletion rights you also hold the right to dispute and correct inaccurate report data directly with AutoWeb, Inc., and certain regulated records may be retained even after a CCPA deletion request because federal law requires it.
According to its own 2024 registry filing, AutoWeb, Inc. collects precise geolocation, and names, birth dates, emails, phone numbers, ad IDs. One of these categories is classed as sensitive personal information under California law, which strengthens your case for both deletion and a limit on further sale or sharing.
AutoWeb, Inc.'s 2024 disclosure reports 62 deletion requests, of which it complied with 8 (13%) and denied 54 (87%). Its median response time was a relatively quick 7 days, well inside the 45-day legal deadline. The relatively high denial rate means it pays to send a precisely worded, statute-citing request rather than an informal one: denials often hinge on a request that failed identity verification or omitted the legal basis.
The fastest route is AutoWeb, Inc.'s dedicated privacy-request portal, where you can submit a deletion request directly. If the form is slow, broken, or asks for more identification than you are comfortable providing, you can fall back to a written request to AutoLegal@autoweb.com citing your CCPA deletion right. OfflistMe can pre-fill that email for you so the legal citation and required details are already in place: you review it and send it from your own inbox.
AutoWeb, Inc.'s own registry note
In 2024, all Data Subject Access Requests (DSARs) submitted to AutoWeb were carefully reviewed in accordance with the CCPA and CPRA. Requests were denied only in limited circumstances, including when no responsive personal data was identified, when the request did not pertain to privacy rights under applicable law, or when the requester’s identity could not be verified (for example, due to an unconfirmed email address or phone number). To ensure proper handling, AutoWeb sought clarification from requesters when submissions were unclear, permitted authorized agents to submit requests upon receipt of valid proof of authorization through the DSAR form, and verified each requester’s identity via email or text message. Relevant systems were reviewed for responsive data in each case, and denials were issued only after these steps confirmed either the absence of matching data or an unverifiable identity.
