What RELX Inc. knows about you, and why removal matters
RELX 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, RELX Inc. collects names, birth dates, emails, phone numbers, ad IDs.
RELX 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 RELX Inc. cuts off the supply before it propagates further.
RELX Inc.'s 2024 disclosure reports 130 deletion requests, of which it complied with 30 (23%) and denied 100 (77%). Its median response time was a relatively quick 6 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 RELX 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 privacy.inquiries@lexisnexis.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.
