LeadGenius compiles professional contact data like work emails, direct dials, and job titles, then sells it to sales teams, recruiters, and marketers. Your work identity is the product.
What is LeadGenius?
LeadGenius is a B2B data and lead-enrichment provider combining machine and human research to deliver custom contact and account data to sales and marketing teams.
What data LeadGenius has on you
LeadGenius 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
- job title
- employer
- company/account 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, LeadGenius has enough to paint a detailed picture.

The catch: your data comes back
The most important thing to understand about LeadGenius removal: it is temporary.
Not documented by LeadGenius; as an enrichment provider sourcing from public/partner data, re-collection is possible. Privacy policy last revised August 14, 2025.
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. LeadGenius 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 LeadGenius does nothing about the 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 LeadGenius 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, LeadGenius 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 LeadGenius'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.
