What is People Data Labs?
Catalog context (not a live profile audit): People Data Labs (PDL) is a large B2B data provider selling "person enrichment" via an API: profiles combining professional, contact and social data that power many sales-intelligence, recruiting and marketing tools. Your record may propagate into dozens of downstream products. This guide covers the profile described in the catalog for People Data Labs; removing it here does not erase the original government, employer, court, property, or social source.
Catalog-described data types for People Data Labs
- •Full name
- •Professional title and employer
- •Work and personal email addresses
- •Phone numbers
- •Social/professional profile links
- •Location and work history
Why Your Data Appears on People Data Labs
Catalog source context (not a complete provenance finding): PDL scrapes and licenses data from professional networks, public web pages and commercial partners to build enrichment profiles. Because it is sold via API, your profile can appear inside many third-party tools at once. The record can be matched through your name, employer or work email. Compare the listing with your own details, save the exact URL, and request removal only after confirming it is you.

Step-by-Step: How to Remove Your Data from People Data Labs
The provider may offer a no-charge request route, but terms can change. Current catalog reference: Varies by provider, request, and current route — not a provider SLA; verify the route and result after submitting.
Confirm what People Data Labs holds on you
Search peopledatalabs.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 privacy@peopledatalabs.com
Email privacy@peopledatalabs.com with the subject "Privacy / Do Not Sell: Personal Information Removal Request". State clearly: "Remove my profile from People Data Labs." Cite only the rights that apply to your situation, and ask People Data Labs 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 People Data Labs 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; if the live route requests additional proof, ask why it is needed and what minimum or redacted evidence it accepts.
Request written confirmation
Ask People Data Labs 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
No universal processing window is established here for People Data Labs; follow the provider's current acknowledgement or the applicable legal response rule, then keep the request record and verify the listing yourself. If you have not had confirmation, reply on the same thread asking for a status update and re-check the exact profile only after preserving your original request evidence.

What to Do If People Data Labs Removal Fails
If the standard opt-out process does not work, follow these escalation steps in order:
If your People Data Labs listing reappears, preserve the original and new source URLs, compare the matching fields, and use the provider's current route for a follow-up request. A new listing does not by itself prove that the original request failed.
If the email goes unanswered, re-send to privacy@peopledatalabs.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 People Data Labs does not respond within the period stated by its current notice or the law that applies to you, keep the request and any acknowledgement, then use the relevant regulator or complaint channel.
