How to remove yourself from Data Axle
Data Axle (formerly Infogroup) compiles large consumer and business marketing databases used for direct mail, telemarketing, and list rental. It offers a dedicated do-not-sell page where you can opt out of the sale or sharing of your information and request deletion. The request applies nationwide, not just to California residents.
Consumer and business contact records — name, address, phone, email — compiled and sold for marketing and list-building.
Why removing yourself from Data Axle matters
On Data Axle, anyone can look you up — often for just a few dollars — and pull consumer and business contact records — name, address, phone, email — compiled and sold for marketing and list-building. 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 Data Axle listing cuts off one of the easiest public sources of that data about you.
Opting out of Data Axle is quick and straightforward — it works via web privacy rights form, and removals usually process in 10 minutes. It is free: under U.S. privacy laws Data Axle has to honor opt-out requests, so never pay a "removal" fee. Most people finish it in just a few minutes.
How to opt out of Data Axle, step by step
Open the Data Axle 'Do Not Sell My Data' page.
Select the opt-out, deletion, or access right you want to exercise.
Enter your name, address, and contact details so Data Axle can match your record.
Submit the form, or email privacyteam@data-axle.com for CCPA requests.
Note any confirmation reference and follow up by phone at 800-794-1404 if needed.
Link verified June 2026 — brokers change their forms, so confirm it’s the official data-axle.com opt-out before entering anything.
Watch out: Data Axle maintains both consumer and business files, so a record tied to your work role may need a separate request.
