How to remove yourself from Buzzfile
Buzzfile is a B2B company-information database that claims records on millions of companies and over a hundred million contacts. Even though it's business-focused, owners, freelancers, and professionals often find their personal contact details exposed. Removal is possible but requires registering an account and claiming the listing before you can take it down.
Name, job title, company, business address, and professional contact details linked to business records.
Why removing yourself from Buzzfile matters
On Buzzfile, anyone can look you up — often for just a few dollars — and pull name, job title, company, business address, and professional contact details linked to business records. 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 Buzzfile listing cuts off one of the easiest public sources of that data about you.
Opting out of Buzzfile is more involved than most opt-outs — it works via online account-based removal, and removals usually process in 15-20 minutes. It is free: under U.S. privacy laws Buzzfile has to honor opt-out requests, so never pay a "removal" fee. Because Buzzfile is one of the more stubborn sites to remove from, keep a copy of your request and be ready to follow up if your profile reappears.
How to opt out of Buzzfile, step by step

Open your listing and choose 'Action' then 'Remove Company'
Register for a Buzzfile account and verify it via the confirmation email
Sign in and return to your company profile
