What is RocketReach?

RocketReach is a contact-finding platform that aggregates emails, phone numbers, and social profiles for ~700M professionals across 60M companies, scraped from LinkedIn, social media, and company sites.

What data RocketReach has on you

RocketReach 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
• personal email, personal and work where available
• direct dial/phone, landline and mobile, sourced from commercial providers and public records
• job title
• employer
• work history
• LinkedIn/social URLs
• 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, RocketReach has enough to paint a detailed picture.

How to opt out of RocketReach: step by step

1. Go to rocketreach.co and click 'Do Not Sell My Info' in the footer, or go to rocketreach.co/remove-profile
2. Enter your full name, current company, your RocketReach or LinkedIn profile URL, and a valid email
3. Click 'Submit Request'
4. Open the verification email and click the 'Claim this email address'/confirmation link
5. Click 'Remove My Profile' and submit your opt-out reason

How long does RocketReach removal take?

After you complete the opt-out, RocketReach typically processes removals within immediate on RocketReach; a few weeks for search-engine cache to clear. By broker standards, that is relatively fast — many sites take 7 to 45 days.

The catch: your data comes back

The most important thing to understand about RocketReach removal: it is temporary.

Removal suppresses display but RocketReach continuously re-scrapes public sources; profiles can republish when new public data is found. Periodic re-checks recommended. Google cache may persist — use Google's outdated-content tool.

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

• Other brokers are not affected. Removing yourself from RocketReach 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 RocketReach 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, RocketReach 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 RocketReach'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 RocketReach, 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.
