What is Clearbit (Breeze Intelligence)?

Clearbit, acquired by HubSpot for $150 million (disclosed in HubSpot's 10-K filed Nov. 8, 2023) and rebranded 'Breeze Intelligence,' is a B2B data-enrichment platform providing firmographic, technographic, and contact data (200M+ contacts) used to enrich CRM records and identify website visitors.

What data Clearbit (Breeze Intelligence) has on you

Clearbit (Breeze Intelligence) 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
• office address, often going back 10 to 20 years
• job title/seniority
• department
• employer
• employment history
• company data
• social/LinkedIn URLs

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, Clearbit (Breeze Intelligence) has enough to paint a detailed picture.

How to opt out of Clearbit (Breeze Intelligence): step by step

1. Go to dashboard.clearbit.com/ccpa-opt-out
2. Enter your name and the exact email address(es) Clearbit has on file
3. Submit the form (repeat for each professional email)
4. Alternatively email privacy@clearbit.com with your name, emails to remove, and a deletion request citing CCPA/CPRA or GDPR Art.17
5. Consider submitting a parallel request through HubSpot at legal.hubspot.com/privacy-policy

How long does Clearbit (Breeze Intelligence) removal take?

After you complete the opt-out, Clearbit (Breeze Intelligence) typically processes removals within CCPA: up to 45 days; GDPR: up to 30 days. By broker standards, that is about average — many sites take 7 to 45 days.

The catch: your data comes back

The most important thing to understand about Clearbit (Breeze Intelligence) removal: it is temporary.

Clearbit continuously scrapes/aggregates public sources; if your info remains public it may be re-collected — periodic re-submission recommended. Data now also lives within HubSpot's broader ecosystem (submit a separate HubSpot request). Customers can enable a 'Community Data Opt-Out' so emails submitted for enrichment aren't added; opted-out contacts receive an 'enrichment opt-out' label in customer CRMs.

This is not unique to Clearbit (Breeze Intelligence). Every data broker works this way. Your opt-out removes one listing. It does not stop the data pipeline. The only way to stay off permanently is to repeat the process every few months yourself, or use a service that detects re-listings and re-submits automatically.

What Clearbit (Breeze Intelligence)'s opt-out does not cover

• Other brokers are not affected. Removing yourself from Clearbit (Breeze Intelligence) does nothing to HubSpot Breeze Intelligence, 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 Clearbit (Breeze Intelligence) 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, Clearbit (Breeze Intelligence) 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 Clearbit (Breeze Intelligence)'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.

Or skip the manual work entirely

You are likely listed on dozens of professional data brokers like Clearbit (Breeze Intelligence), each with its own opt-out process. Delist scans for your personal information across B2B, marketing, and people-search sites, and handles removal in one place.
