Request Removal NowWhat is SignalHire?
SignalHire is a B2B recruiting and contact-finding platform operated by SignalHire Sp. z o.o., a Polish company listed as data controller in SignalHire's privacy policy. SignalHire sells your work email, direct-dial phone, and job title to sales and recruiting teams for cold outreach. It sources data from public profiles, partner feeds, and email-verification signals, so your contact information can appear even if you never created a SignalHire account.
Step-by-step: How to remove yourself from SignalHire
- Step 1: Search for your profile. Go to signalhire.com and search your name or email. Note the profile URL and the data it shows, email, phone, employer.
- Step 2: Use the opt-out page. SignalHire's self-serve opt-out is at signalhire.com/opt-out. Enter the profile URL or your email address and submit the removal request.
- Step 3: Submit the CCPA/CPRA Do-Not-Sell form. SignalHire also maintains a dedicated Do-Not-Sell form at signalhire.com/do-not-sell/. Submit this separately, it covers the data-sale angle rather than just profile display.
💡 Tip: If you are in the EU or UK, cite GDPR Article 17 "right to erasure" in your request. SignalHire's privacy policy explicitly states GDPR compliance, meaning they are legally required to respond within 30 days.
- Step 4: Address the upstream source. SignalHire pulls from partner feeds. If your contact info originated from Apollo.io, ZoomInfo, or LinkedIn scraping, opt-outs at those platforms reduce the chance of re-ingest into SignalHire's database.

What to do if removal fails
If SignalHire does not respond within the applicable deadline, file a complaint with the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) for US residents, or your national data protection authority for EU/UK residents (ICO in the UK, UODO in Poland). SignalHire is a Polish-registered company and is directly subject to GDPR enforcement.
