What is Bombora?
Bombora is a B2B intent-data provider that aggregates company-level 'Company Surge' buyer-intent signals from a cooperative of B2B publishers, plus some personal/contact data, for marketing and sales targeting.
What data Bombora has on you
Bombora compiles professional contact data that sales teams, recruiters, and marketers buy access to. Here is what a typical profile includes:
- business contact info
- company/account data
- intent/behavioral signals
- online identifiers/cookies
- professional info
- 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, Bombora has enough to paint a detailed picture.

The catch: your data comes back
The most important thing to understand about Bombora removal: it is temporary.
Bombora largely aggregates at the company level, which can limit individual-level deletion; data is sourced from a publisher co-op so re-collection is possible. Cookie opt-out is browser-specific.
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. Bombora 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.

- Other brokers are not affected. Removing yourself from Bombora does nothing to 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 Bombora 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, Bombora 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 Bombora'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.
