6sense compiles professional contact data (work emails, direct dials, and job titles) and sells it to sales teams, recruiters, and marketers. Your work identity is the product.
What is 6sense?
6sense is a B2B account-based marketing and predictive-intelligence platform that provides business profile/contact data and buyer-intent signals to subscribers; it owns Slintel, a sales-intelligence/contact database.
What data 6sense has on you
6sense compiles professional contact data that sales teams, recruiters, and marketers buy access to. Here is what a typical profile includes:
- full name
- work email, personal and work where available
- phone number, landline and mobile, sourced from commercial providers and public records
- job title
- employer
- business profile information
- buyer-intent/behavioral signals
- location
Not every profile contains all categories. Depth depends on what public records exist in your jurisdiction and how much commercial data has been linked to your identity. For most adults with any public record history, 6sense has enough to paint a detailed picture.

How long does 6sense removal take?
After you complete the opt-out, 6sense typically processes removals within GDPR/CCPA: typically up to 30-45 days.
The catch: your data comes back
The most important thing to understand about 6sense removal: it is temporary.
6sense relies on legitimate interest (GDPR) for B2B contact data. Removed contacts are flagged for customers via a weekly/dynamic 'Opt-Out List' that customers must action in their own systems; 6sense cannot force customer-side deletion. Re-collection from public sources is possible.
Data can return after an opt-out if the broker later ingests a new record. Whether and when that happens varies by company and source. Periodic checks can catch re-listings; a monitoring service can re-file when supported.
This is the part Delist handles. 6sense is one of dozens of sites holding your information, and removals do not stay removed on their own. Delist finds where you are exposed, files each opt-out, and re-checks for re-listings — re-filing when your data comes back.
See what 6sense shows about you →What 6sense's opt-out does not cover
- Other brokers are not affected. Removing yourself from 6sense does nothing to Slintel, or the dozens of other sites where your data is exposed. Each requires its own opt-out.
- Cached copies may persist. Google and other search engines may cache your 6sense profile for days or weeks after it is removed. Use Google's content removal tool to request de-indexing.
- Multiple profiles may exist. If you have lived in multiple states, changed your name, or have multiple phone numbers, 6sense may have built separate profiles for each variation. Search and opt out of each.
Tips for a successful opt-out
Use a dedicated email. Use an alias or a separate account for removal requests. Keeps your primary inbox out of 6sense's system and keeps confirmation emails organized.
Search every angle. Do not just search by name. Try phone number and email too. You may have more than one listing.
Document the request. Screenshot the confirmation page and save the confirmation email. Useful if you ever need to prove you requested removal.
