Epsilon collects and sells consumer data in bulk. You cannot look yourself up, but advertisers, insurers, and data resellers can buy profiles that include you.
What is Epsilon?
One of the largest US marketing data brokers, compiling detailed consumer/household profiles sold in bulk to advertisers and direct-mail marketers; states it has identifiable information on more than 200 million consumers in the US and Canada. Unlike consumer people-search sites, Epsilon does not offer a public profile lookup, but it still holds and sells your personal data.
What data Epsilon has on you
Epsilon collects consumer data in bulk for advertisers and data resellers. You cannot look yourself up, but here is what they typically hold:
- full name
- postal address, often going back 10 to 20 years
- email, personal and work where available
- phone, landline and mobile, sourced from commercial providers and public records
- demographics
- household composition
- income/financial indicators, estimated from occupation, property, and demographic models
- purchase/transaction history
- inferred interests/audience segments
- online identifiers/cookies
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, Epsilon has enough to paint a detailed picture.

The catch: your data comes back
The most important thing to understand about Epsilon removal: it is temporary.
Opt-out treated as 'Do Not Share'/suppression unless deletion is specifically selected; Epsilon retains the record to honor the preference. Continuously refreshes from public records/commercial sources. Recheck periodically. Multiple separate requests needed to cover the full product portfolio.
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. Epsilon 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 Epsilon does nothing to Shopper's Voice, Conversant, Epsilon-Conversant identity products, 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 Epsilon 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, Epsilon 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 Epsilon'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.
