What the Spokeo, Inc. registry record reports, and why review matters
Spokeo, Inc. appears in the California Privacy Protection Agency registry snapshot used for this page. A registry record is evidence of a filing, not an endorsement, a current-status guarantee, or a determination that the company has a record about you. Review the live provider route and the law that applies to your request; a registry entry alone does not establish that a deletion request will be granted.
According to its own 2024 registry filing, Spokeo, Inc. reported handling government-issued identification numbers. One of these categories is treated as sensitive personal information under California law. Whether a request to limit use or disclosure is available depends on the provider's purpose, the request, and statutory conditions; the filing alone does not establish that right.
Spokeo, Inc.'s 2024 filing marked sharing or sale of consumer data to the U.S. federal government, other state governments, and law enforcement outside of a subpoena or court order. This is a disclosure for that reporting year; it does not identify every recipient or prove current activity. A request to Spokeo, Inc. may address its own records, but this page does not establish what downstream recipients retain or whether a source request changes those records.
Spokeo, Inc.'s 2024 registry disclosure reports 8 deletion requests. It also reports 0 complied in full (0%) and 0 denied (0%). The same filing reports a median response time of 1 day; this historical figure is not a current SLA or a guarantee for your request.
The snapshot records Spokeo, Inc.'s URL as a privacy-request route. Verify that the route is current, accepts the request type you need, and explains its information requirements before submitting. If the form is slow, broken, or asks for more identification than you are comfortable providing, review the provider's current written-request route at jmatthes@spokeo.com and confirm that it fits your request. OfflistMe can prepare a draft for your review; you send it from your own inbox.

How to opt out
- 1
Open Spokeo, Inc.’s recorded rights portal, confirm that it accepts the request type you need, and follow the current provider instructions.
- 2
If the CCPA applies and the request fits its scope, review whether Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.105 or § 1798.120 is the appropriate right; do not assume either provision applies to every record or provider.
- 3
Provide only the information the current route reasonably requires for matching or verification. Do not send a government-ID scan unless the provider specifically requires it after you have reviewed the purpose and secure channel.
- 4
If the CCPA applies, a covered, verifiable request generally has a 45-day response period, subject to extensions, exceptions, and the request type. Preserve the notice and the provider response.
- 5
If the provider does not handle a request that appears to fall within the applicable law, preserve the evidence and consider the current California Privacy Protection Agency complaint or enforcement channel.
