What Guidestar Direct, Corp. knows about you, and why removal matters
Guidestar Direct, Corp. 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, Guidestar Direct, Corp. collects names, birth dates, emails, phone numbers, ad IDs.
Guidestar Direct, Corp.'s 2024 disclosure reports 400,410 deletion requests, of which it complied with 400,410 (100%) in full. Its median response time was a relatively quick 11 days, well inside the 45-day legal deadline.
The fastest route is Guidestar Direct, Corp.'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 privacy@carneydirect.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.
