Opt-out guide
How to opt out of Verisk and remove your name
Verisk is an insurance-analytics company rather than a website with a profile of you on it, and its consumer route is a written request rather than a form. If your interest is a claims history that affected a quote, that is a consumer-report question rather than a marketing opt-out, and it is worth being explicit about which one you are asking for.
Wondering whether Verisk is even legitimate first? Read our honest Verisk check for what it is, what regulators have said about it, and what it exposes.
What Verisk exposes
- Insurance claims history
- Property and risk attributes
- Name and address history
- Data supplied by insurers about you
Step-by-step removal
- 1
Decide what you are asking for
A request about marketing data is different from a request about insurance claims history used in underwriting. Say which one you mean, because they are handled under different rules.
- 2
Email the privacy team
Verisk publishes privacy@verisk.com for questions and requests about how it collects, uses or discloses personal data, and for updating your information or preferences.
- 3
Include enough to be identified
Give your full name, current and previous addresses and date of birth so the request can be matched. Include any relevant policy number if the request concerns claims history.

Or write to the Chief Privacy Officer
Postal requests go to Verisk Analytics, Attention: Chief Privacy Officer, 545 Washington Boulevard, Jersey City, NJ 07310-1686, USA.

Keep the thread
Email gives you a timestamped record, which matters more here than usual because no public page will ever show you whether anything changed.
Good to know
- Verisk's online privacy notice governs website data. Data held for insurance underwriting sits under different rules, so a website-level request will not necessarily reach it.
- If a claims history has affected an insurance decision, the productive request is for the consumer report and a dispute of anything inaccurate, not a marketing opt-out.
- We could not verify a self-service consumer portal from here - the published routes are email and post.
Insurers continue to contribute claims and policy data, so this is not a category where a single request stops future records being created.
