What Dun and Bradstreet Inc. knows about you, and why removal matters
Dun and Bradstreet Inc. is required to register annually with the California Privacy Protection Agency under the state's data broker law (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.99.80). Registration is a legal acknowledgment that the company knowingly collects and sells or licenses personal information about California residents with whom it has no direct relationship. That same status is what gives you clear standing to demand deletion: a registered broker cannot claim it has no record of you simply because you have never been its customer.
According to its own 2024 registry filing, Dun and Bradstreet Inc. collects names, birth dates, emails, phone numbers, ad IDs.
Dun and Bradstreet Inc. also disclosed that, in 2024, it shared or sold consumer data to developers of generative AI systems, 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 Dun and Bradstreet Inc. cuts off the supply before it propagates further.
Dun and Bradstreet Inc.'s 2024 disclosure reports 998 deletion requests, of which it complied with 963 (96%) in full. Its median response time was a relatively quick 8 days, well inside the 45-day legal deadline.
The fastest route is Dun and Bradstreet 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 privacyofficer@dnb.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.
Dun and Bradstreet Inc.'s own registry note
For additional information about our data collection practices, please see our Privacy, Data Transparency, and AI Trust Centre available at: https://www.dnb.com/en-us/why-dnb/data-transparency.html and our Privacy, Data and AI Transparency Statement at https://www.dnb.com/content/dam/web/company/about/content/pdaits/DnB_Privacy-Data-AI-Transparency-Statement_USMarket.pdf If you would like to see the CCPA categories of information we collect, please look under the “Data Collected on California Residents within the Past 12 Months” section of the California Resident Supplemental Disclosures available at: https://www.dnb.com/content/dam/web/company/about/content/scrd/DnB_Supplemental-California-Resident-Disclosures.pdf
With regard to the submitted metrics, when an individual submits a "Right to Know" request we advise the individual what personal information we have collected about them, what personal information was sold or shared and to whom it was sold or shared. Therefore, the numbers for both questions regarding the "Right to Know" are the same. With regard to the number of requests that have been “complied with in whole or in part”, we do not have separate metrics as we have interpreted “comply” to mean comply with the CPRA and “in whole OR In part” as one figure. As we fully comply with the CPRA we do not have any requests that were partially complied with. Additionally, any difference found between the number of requests Received and the number of requests Complied With is because our metrics are based on the actual requests received and closed during that year. Therefore, there are requests received in December 2024, which were complied with within the required timeline, but actually in January 2025.
