Remove Yourself from Datanyze — Steps, Timeline & What Comes Back (2026)

What is Datanyze?

Datanyze (a ZoomInfo company, acquired 2018) is a B2B data broker providing 84M+ email addresses, 63M+ direct dials, and 120M+ people profiles plus technographic data, primarily for marketing prospecting.

What data Datanyze has on you

Datanyze 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
• direct dial/phone, landline and mobile, sourced from commercial providers and public records
• job title
• employer
• technographic data
• company data
• 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, Datanyze has enough to paint a detailed picture.

How to opt out of Datanyze: step by step

1. Find your profile via Google: 'site:datanyze.com [first name] [last name]' and open the matching profile
2. Go to datanyze.com and click 'Do not sell my info' in the footer (or use the Datanyze Privacy Center), which routes to ZoomInfo's removal form
3. Enter your email and request the verification code, then enter the code from ZoomInfo's email
4. Complete the longer form (include your Datanyze profile URL), solve the CAPTCHA, and submit

How long does Datanyze removal take?

After you complete the opt-out, Datanyze typically processes removals within approximately 10-17 business 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 Datanyze removal: it is temporary.

Removal also opts you out of the sale of profile info. Datanyze does not remove company information. Shares ZoomInfo's continuous re-scraping/contributory dynamics. Daniel's Law / state-employee protected persons can email stateremoval@datanyze.com.

This is not unique to Datanyze. 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 Datanyze's opt-out does not cover

• Other brokers are not affected. Removing yourself from Datanyze does nothing to ZoomInfo, Comparably, RingLead, 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 Datanyze 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, Datanyze 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 Datanyze'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 Datanyze, 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.
