Step-by-Step: How to Remove Your Data from Marriott International
The opt-out process is free. Estimated time: 14–30 days for removal to take effect after completing these steps.
Confirm what Marriott International holds on you
Search marriott.com for your name (or the data point they index — a phone number, email or address). Note the URL of any listing and the exact identifiers shown, so your request is specific enough to action.
Write your removal email to privacy@marriott.com
Email privacy@marriott.com with the subject "Privacy / Do Not Sell — Personal Information Removal Request". State clearly: "Remove / restrict my personal information held by Marriott International." Reference your rights under the CCPA/CPRA and your state privacy law, and ask them to both delete and suppress future re-listing.
Include just enough to be matched — and no more
Provide your full name, the city/state and any listing URL so they can locate your record. Only add a phone or email if it is already the identifier they show. Do not volunteer extra data such as your SSN or a full ID.
Request written confirmation
Ask Marriott International 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
Marriott International states removals take 14–30 days. If you have not had confirmation by the end of that window, reply on the same thread requesting a status update. Re-check marriott.com once removal is confirmed.
How Long Does Marriott International Removal Take?
What Documents Marriott International May Request
No government ID required
- •The listing URL or the exact data point they index
- •An email address for the confirmation link
⚠️ 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 Marriott International Removal Fails
If the standard opt-out process does not work, follow these escalation steps in order:
If your Marriott International 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 privacy@marriott.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 Marriott International 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)
The opt-out above is free and works for Marriott International specifically. The catch is that Marriott International is only one of 500+ data brokers — to actually disappear you would repeat a similar process for each site, which is typically 20–40 hours of research and follow-up.
⚡ Automated removal (OfflistMe)

Instead of hunting down each broker's opt-out page, OfflistMe surfaces the correct opt-out link or privacy email and pre-generates a properly worded removal request for each one.
