How to opt out of ZoomInfo and remove your name

10 to 15 minutes medium difficultyLast verified August 1, 2026

You are in ZoomInfo because someone you have exchanged email with synced their contacts, not because you signed up for anything. Its records are work-shaped: your title, employer, work email and often a direct dial. The removal needs your profile URL, so find the listing before you start the form.

Wondering whether ZoomInfo is even legitimate first? Read our honest ZoomInfo check for what it is, what regulators have said about it, and what it exposes.

Good to know

Find and copy the profile URL first - starting the form without it means going back and repeating the verification.
A direct dial number in a B2B database is what makes voice phishing against your employer easy, which is the concrete reason this one matters.
Removal does not stop you being re-added when another contact list is synced, so re-check periodically.

B2B databases rebuild from newly synced address books, so a removed profile can return after a colleague or contact connects their inbox. Re-check every few months.

ZoomInfo opt-out questions

How do I remove my name from ZoomInfo?

Open ZoomInfo's opt-out page at privacyrequest.zoominfo.com, find the listing that matches you, and submit the removal request. You then confirm the request by clicking a link that arrives by email. The whole process takes about 10 to 15 minutes and costs nothing. The step-by-step version is above.

How long does the ZoomInfo opt-out take?

Submitting the request takes about 10 to 15 minutes. After that, ZoomInfo typically removes the listing within varies. 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 ZoomInfo opt-out permanent?

Not reliably. B2B databases rebuild from newly synced address books, so a removed profile can return after a colleague or contact connects their inbox. Re-check every few months. 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 ZoomInfo?

No. ZoomInfo'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 ZoomInfo?

Yes. ZoomInfo'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 ZoomInfo show about me?

A typical ZoomInfo listing can include full name and job title, employer and work history, work email address, direct dial and mobile numbers, and linkedIn profile link. Exactly what appears varies by person and by how much of it has reached public records.

Why does ZoomInfo need my email address to remove my data?

It uses the email only to confirm that the request came from you, which stops strangers from deleting each other's listings. Consider using an alias address if you would rather not hand ZoomInfo a live inbox. The confirmation link often lands in spam, and on most brokers it expires within a day or two.
