What Clearview AI, Inc. knows about you, and why removal matters
Clearview AI, Inc. is a California-registered data broker whose disclosure touches categories California treats as sensitive: the kind of information (biometric identifiers, health, or reproductive data) that carries heightened protection under the CPRA. Brokers handling these categories are squarely within the scope of the right to limit sensitive-data processing, so a deletion request to Clearview AI, Inc. can be paired with an explicit instruction to stop using and sharing any sensitive personal information it holds about you.
According to its own 2024 registry filing, Clearview AI, Inc. collects biometric data. 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. The common identifiers it works with include publicly available images of persons from the open internet.
Clearview AI, Inc. also disclosed that, in 2024, it shared or sold consumer data to the U.S. federal government, other state governments, and law enforcement outside of a subpoena or court order. Every downstream recipient is another copy of your information outside your control, which is the practical reason to remove yourself at the source rather than chasing each buyer individually. Deleting your record at Clearview AI, Inc. cuts off the supply before it propagates further.
Clearview AI, Inc.'s 2024 disclosure reports 1,425 deletion requests, of which it complied with 1,185 (83%) and denied 240 (17%). Its median response time was 17 days, inside the 45-day deadline CCPA sets for a verifiable deletion request.
The fastest route is Clearview AI, 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 legal@clearview.ai 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.
