Step-by-Step: How to Remove Your Data from Dun & Bradstreet
The opt-out process may be free through the provider's current route. Catalog estimate: 14-30 days — not a provider SLA; verify the result after submitting.
Find your listing on Dun & Bradstreet
Open dnb.com in a private/incognito window and search your full name together with your city or state. Dun & Bradstreet often shows several listings if you have lived at more than one address: identify each listing that is actually you before you start.
Copy the exact listing URL
Open your listing and copy the full URL from the address bar. Dun & Bradstreet's opt-out form matches on the exact listing, so the precise URL for each one is what you paste in.
Open the opt-out / suppression page
Go to https://www.dnb.com/utility-pages/privacy-policy.html. If that link has moved, scroll to the dnb.com footer and look for "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information", "Opt Out", "Privacy" or "Suppress My Listing": every broker operating in the US is required to expose one. Paste your listing URL into the form.
Confirm by email and submit
Dun & Bradstreet emails you a confirmation link to prove the request is yours. Use a real inbox you control and click the link: the removal is not queued until you confirm, and you do not need to create an account.
Re-check and repeat for every listing
Removals here typically take 14-30 days. After that window, search dnb.com again in a private window. Submit a separate request for each remaining listing, and use Google's "Remove Outdated Content" tool if a cached copy lingers in search results.

What to Do If Dun & Bradstreet Removal Fails
If the standard opt-out process does not work, follow these escalation steps in order:
If your Dun & Bradstreet 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 opt-out form is broken or the link has moved, email privacy@dnb.com with the subject "Do Not Sell / Delete: Personal Information" and a clear statement of your request plus your listing URL.
If Dun & Bradstreet 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.
Alternative Options
🔧 Manual removal (free)
