Step-by-Step: How to Remove Your Data from Data Axle
The opt-out process is free. Estimated time: 9 days for removal to take effect after completing these steps.
Confirm what Data Axle holds on you
Search data-axle.com for your name, employer or work email. Note the URL of any profile and the exact identifiers shown, so your request is specific enough to action without you having to volunteer extra data.
Write your removal email to privacyteam@data-axle.com
Email privacyteam@data-axle.com with the subject "Privacy / Do Not Sell: Personal Information Removal Request". State clearly: "Delete my data and suppress my records from Data Axle marketing databases." Cite your rights under the CCPA/CPRA and your state privacy law, and ask Data Axle to both delete your record and suppress future re-listing.
Include just enough to be matched, and no more
Give your full name, city/state and any profile URL so Data Axle can locate your record. Only add a phone or email if it is already the identifier they index. Do not volunteer your SSN or a full ID.
Request written confirmation
Ask Data Axle to reply in writing once your data is removed, and to confirm the date. Keep the email thread: it is your evidence if you later need to escalate to a regulator.
Follow up and verify
Data Axle states requests take 9 days. If you have not had confirmation by the end of that window, reply on the same thread asking for a status update. Re-check data-axle.com once the change is confirmed.

⚠️ Safety note on ID uploads
You should not need to upload an ID for a standard people-search opt-out here. If they ask for one, redact everything except your name and address, and never send your Social Security number.
What to Do If Data Axle Removal Fails
If the standard opt-out process does not work, follow these escalation steps in order:
If your Data Axle listing reappears within 30–60 days, simply re-submit the opt-out. Re-listing after a new public record is normal and does not mean your first request failed.
If the email goes unanswered, re-send to privacyteam@data-axle.com and CC any "privacy" or "legal" alias on the site with the subject "Do Not Sell / Delete: Personal Information" and a clear statement of your request plus your listing URL.
If Data Axle still does not comply within 45 days, file a complaint with your state Attorney General and the FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov. California residents can additionally report non-compliance to the CPPA at cppa.ca.gov.
