How to remove yourself from Adstra
Adstra (formerly American List Counsel) operates a large marketing identity database used for direct mail, email, and digital audience targeting. It accepts deletion and opt-out requests through a OneTrust privacy form and by email to its privacy officer. California residents have specific direct-marketing opt-out rights under state law.
Compiled marketing identity data — name, postal/email address, phone, IP, browsing activity — used for audience targeting.
Why removing yourself from Adstra matters
On Adstra, anyone can look you up — often for just a few dollars — and pull compiled marketing identity data — name, postal/email address, phone, IP, browsing activity — used for audience targeting. That is more than enough to target you with spam and phishing, fuel robocalls, or in the worst cases enable stalking, doxxing or identity theft. Removing your Adstra listing cuts off one of the easiest public sources of that data about you.
Opting out of Adstra is fairly straightforward, with one extra verification step — it works via web form (OneTrust) or email, and removals usually process in 10 minutes. It is free: under U.S. privacy laws Adstra has to honor opt-out requests, so never pay a "removal" fee. Have your details ready for the verification step, then re-check in a few weeks to make sure the listing stayed down.
How to opt out of Adstra, step by step
Open the Adstra privacy policy page and locate the privacy-request link.
Complete the OneTrust deletion/opt-out form with your name, email, and address.
Alternatively, email privacy.officer@adstradata.com requesting opt-out and deletion.
Submit and keep the confirmation message.
Verify your identity if Adstra follows up to confirm the request.
Link verified June 2026 — brokers change their forms, so confirm it’s the official adstradata.com opt-out before entering anything.
Watch out: Adstra also runs a nonprofit-data arm, so donor/charity marketing data may sit under a separate Adstra entity.
