Doximity Opt-Out: How to Remove Yourself (2026 Guide)

Doximity's privacy policy says your professional profile is publicly viewable by default, whether or not you have registered a Doximity account. If you don't have an account and want the public profile removed or changed, the policy says to contact support@doximity.com. If you claim the profile, the policy says you can choose to limit its public viewability and mark select contact details private.

Doximity is a professional network for U.S. healthcare professionals. Its company page says its members include over 85% of physicians and an increasing number of NPs, PAs and pharmacists. Its privacy policy says it displays your office information so that others can refer patients to you, and that you can change this setting at any time. It says profile information comes from government agencies, publicly available databases, professional associations, publications and employers, and that it may use third-party sources for your National Provider Identifier (NPI) record, specialty, office address, phone and fax numbers, education and certifications. Other members can add information about you, and schedule details supplied by a hospital or employer may also be publicly viewable.

Checked against Doximity's privacy policy (effective June 9, 2026), its State Privacy Notice (effective January 27, 2026) and its company page, CMS's NPPES Data Dissemination page (last modified September 10, 2024), CMS's prescriber notice "Prescribers Be Aware" (undated; it refers to a May 6, 2013 deadline), California's 2026 data broker registry and the California Privacy Protection Agency's data broker page, on October 25, 2026. Doximity's help center returned an access-denied (403) error to us that day, so we could not read its click-by-click instructions. We read the pages; we did not search for anyone or submit anything.

How to remove your Doximity profile without an account

Find the Doximity public profile that shows you and copy its link.
Email support@doximity.com. The privacy policy names this address for people who don't have a Doximity account but want their public profile modified or removed.
Say plainly that you want the public profile removed. Include the link, your name as the profile shows it, and your specialty and city, so the right profile is found.

A suggested wording:

To: support@doximity.com

Subject: Request to remove my public profile

I do not have a Doximity account. Please remove the public profile at [link], which is about me.

Name as shown on the profile: [name]

Specialty and city: [specialty, city]

Please confirm when it has been removed, and tell me whether this profile has been shared with any directory or ranking partner.

The privacy policy gives no timeframe for removing a public profile.

If you have claimed your profile (or want to)

Limit who can see it. The privacy policy says profiles are public unless you create a Doximity account, claim your profile and choose to limit public viewability.
Mark contact details private. Once you have claimed your profile, the policy says you can designate select contact information as private, such as an office back line, mobile phone, home phone, pager, inpatient or admit number, and email address. It says private profile information is shared only with Doximity members you authorize.
Update what's there. The policy says members can review and update certain personal information through their account settings.

Doximity's help center returned an error to us, so we can't give the exact clicks; look in your profile and account settings for the public profile options. Claiming means creating an account, which gives Doximity your account details as well. If you only want the public page gone, the email route above doesn't need an account.

Closing a Doximity account

The privacy policy says to contact support@doximity.com if you want to close your account. It says Doximity may keep using aggregate or anonymous data previously derived from your information. The policy doesn't say whether closing an account also removes the public profile, so ask for both in the same email.

State privacy requests

Doximity's State Privacy Notice covers residents of California, Colorado, Texas, Maryland, Nebraska and New Jersey.

Access and deletion. The notice says to make requests by contacting Doximity via your account at privacy@doximity.com.
Opting out of sale. The notice says Doximity's reports to its commercial clients may count as a "sale", and that those reports have included your name, zip code and sponsored-content engagement from the prior 12 months. To opt out, email privacy@doximity.com or use the State Opt-Out Request Form. The form's link took us to a Doximity sign-in page, so without an account, use the email.
Verification. The notice says Doximity verifies requests using information associated with your Doximity account, and that government or other identification may be required.
Agents. Someone can file for you, but the notice says Doximity will require a valid power of attorney and the agent's government-issued identification, and may check with you directly.
Timing. Doximity says it aims to respond within 45 days, and can take up to 45 more with written notice.

Separately, the privacy policy says Doximity does not sell your email address or cell phone number to anyone.

What a removal covers

Your public profile on Doximity. That is what the privacy policy's email route is for.
Maybe not partners' copies. The privacy policy says Doximity may share public profile information with healthcare provider directories and ranking bodies such as U.S. News and World Report. It doesn't say whether removing or limiting your profile changes what those partners show, so ask in your email and check those directories yourself.
Not your NPI Registry entry. That is a government record; see the next section.

Fix the source: your NPI record

Doximity's privacy policy says it may use third-party sources to obtain your NPI record, along with your office address and phone numbers. That record is public, and the government doesn't take it down:

No opt-out. CMS's Data Dissemination page says there is no way to opt out of or suppress the NPPES record data for providers with active NPIs.
Addresses are public. CMS's notice for prescribers says the business mailing address and the business practice location, with their phone numbers, are disclosable under the Freedom of Information Act. It says providers should not report their residential address unless it is their business mailing address or practice location.
Update, don't delete. The same notice says NPI Registry data cannot be deleted but can be updated or changed. CMS says providers edit their records at nppes.cms.hhs.gov, or with the paper form CMS-10114, and that the NPI Enumerator can help.

So if the office address on your Doximity profile is your home, check your NPI Registry entry. If you have a separate business mailing address or practice location, update the record, then ask Doximity to update or remove the profile. The CMS notice also says covered providers must update their NPI information within 30 days of a change.

How long does it take?

The privacy policy gives no timeframe for removing a public profile. For state privacy requests, the notice says 45 days, plus up to 45 more with written notice.

If it doesn't work

Email the privacy address. Write to privacy@doximity.com with the profile link and the date of your first email.
Write. The privacy policy gives Doximity, Inc., ATTN: Privacy Policy, 500 3rd St. Suite 510, San Francisco, CA 94107. The State Privacy Notice gives the same address, Attn: Legal Department.
Clear the old search result. Once the page is gone, Google may still show it for a while; see how to remove your home address from Google search results for Google's refresh tool.

Frequently asked questions

Is removing a Doximity profile free?

None of the pages we read mention a fee.

I never signed up for Doximity. Why do I have a profile?

Doximity's privacy policy says professional profiles are publicly viewable by default, whether or not you have registered an account. It builds them from sources such as government agencies, publicly available databases, professional associations, publications and employers, and it may use third-party sources for your NPI record.

Can I remove my Doximity profile without creating an account?

Yes. The privacy policy says that if you don't have an account but want your public profile modified or removed, you contact support@doximity.com.

Will removing my Doximity profile take me off U.S. News?

The privacy policy says Doximity may share public profile information with ranking bodies such as U.S. News and World Report, but it doesn't say whether a removal reaches them. Ask Doximity, and check the partner's site.

Can I delete my NPI Registry listing?

No. CMS says NPI Registry data cannot be deleted, only updated or changed, and that providers with active NPIs can't opt out of or suppress it.

Who runs Doximity?

Doximity, Inc., in San Francisco, California.
