Demandbase compiles professional contact data (work emails, direct dials, job titles) and sells it to sales teams, recruiters, and marketers. Your work identity is the product.
What is Demandbase?
Demandbase is a B2B account-based marketing and go-to-market platform providing company-level intelligence, B2B contact/lead data, and intent signals derived from IP/cookie identification and third-party data.
What data Demandbase has on you
Demandbase 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
- job title
- employer
- company/account data
- IP/online identifiers
- 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, Demandbase has enough to paint a detailed picture.

The catch: your data comes back
The most important thing to understand about Demandbase removal: it is temporary.
Demandbase is a controller for data it collects via its tags/IP API and a processor for customer-uploaded data (direct those to the customer). Cookie/ad opt-out is device/browser-specific and must be renewed; re-collection from public/partner sources 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. Demandbase 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 Demandbase does nothing to Whitepages, BeenVerified, Radaris, 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 Demandbase 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, Demandbase 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 Demandbase'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.
