What Moody's Corporation knows about you, and why removal matters
Moody's Corporation 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, Moody's Corporation collects names, birth dates, emails, phone numbers, ad IDs.
Moody's Corporation also disclosed that, in 2024, it shared or sold consumer data to developers of generative AI systems, foreign actors, 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 Moody's Corporation cuts off the supply before it propagates further.
Moody's Corporation's 2024 disclosure reports 1,533 deletion requests, of which it complied with 17 (1%) and denied 1,516 (99%). Its median response time was a relatively quick 14 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 Moody's Corporation'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@moodys.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.
