Opt-out guide

How to opt out of Verisk and remove your name

10 minutes medium difficultyLast verified August 1, 2026

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. 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. 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. 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.

  4. 4

    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.

  5. 5

    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.

Verisk is a credit and risk broker. FCRA-regulated companies where the marketing opt-out is not your credit file.

Verisk opt-out questions

How do I remove my name from Verisk?

Open Verisk's opt-out page at verisk.com, find the listing that matches you, and submit the removal request. No separate confirmation step is required. The whole process takes about 10 minutes and costs nothing. The step-by-step version is above.

How long does the Verisk opt-out take?

Submitting the request takes about 10 minutes. After that, Verisk typically removes the listing within not stated. If your profile is still visible after that window, search your name again - you may have a second listing that needs its own request.

Is the Verisk opt-out permanent?

Not reliably. Insurers continue to contribute claims and policy data, so this is not a category where a single request stops future records being created. Treat removal as maintenance rather than a one-time fix: re-search your name every few months and repeat the opt-out for anything new.

Do I need an account to opt out of Verisk?

No. Verisk's opt-out works without registering or signing in, and you never need to pay. If something asks you for card details to remove your data, you are not on the real opt-out page.

Is it free to remove my information from Verisk?

Yes. Verisk's opt-out is free, and so is every other major US people-search opt-out. Paid removal services are worth considering for the volume of sites they cover and the re-checking they do, but they file these same free requests on your behalf - they do not unlock anything you cannot do yourself.

What does Verisk show about me?

A typical Verisk listing can include insurance claims history, property and risk attributes, name and address history, and data supplied by insurers about you. Exactly what appears varies by person and by how much of it has reached public records.

Don't want to do this 62+ times?

Opting out one broker at a time works, but there are dozens of them and many relist you after a few months. A removal service files and re-files these requests for you across the whole industry.
