RocketReach's opt-out is a one-field form at rocketreach.co/remove-profile: enter the email address tied to your profile, and if it matches, RocketReach emails you a verification link to confirm the removal. You don't need an account.
RocketReach is a business-contact database. It sells access to professional profiles, mostly to companies looking for sales, hiring and networking contacts. Its privacy policy says a profile can include your name, email, phone, work history, education, location, social profiles and skills, gathered from the public web, from people directories and data brokers, and from customers who connect their email accounts. It also says its software can infer a work email address from the format a company commonly uses.
Checked against RocketReach's live remove-profile page, its privacy policy (last updated September 30, 2026) and the privacy articles in its help center on October 20, 2026. We read the pages; we did not submit the form.
How to remove yourself from RocketReach
- Go to rocketreach.co/remove-profile. The page is headed "Opt-Out of RocketReach" and says you are not creating an account.
- Under Remove Your Profile, enter the email address associated with your profile on RocketReach. It is the only field.
- Click Submit Request.
- If that address matches a profile, RocketReach sends a verification email. Follow the instructions in it to confirm the removal. RocketReach's help center says the profile is removed once you confirm.
RocketReach's help center calls this step claiming and removing your profile. Follow the instructions in the email to finish it.
Which email address to use
The form finds your profile by email address, and RocketReach says it sends the verification email if the address matches a profile. If nothing arrives, check your spam folder, then try another address.
- Start with your current work email.
- Repeat with past work emails, since a profile can carry an address from an old job.
- Try your work address in your company's usual format (such as first.last@company), even if you never used it, because RocketReach says it can infer addresses that way.
- Try personal addresses you have used for professional profiles.
If you have seen instructions asking for your name, company or LinkedIn URL, the form we read on October 20, 2026 asked only for an email address.
Opting out of sale and ad sharing
The same page doubles as RocketReach's opt-out of the sale of your data, depending on where you live. Its privacy policy also points deletion requests to this page.
Opting out of sharing for targeted ads is separate. The page says you can do it by turning on Global Privacy Control in your browser or through the Cookie Preferences button on the page. That choice is stored in your browser, so you may need to set it again after clearing cookies or on another device.
How long does it take?
The form and the help center give no timeframe. RocketReach's privacy policy reports that in 2025 it received 3,367 verified opt-out or deletion requests from California and 20,321 from people whose location it didn't know, complied with each in whole or in part, and took a mean of under one day to respond.
Google can keep showing a removed profile for a while. RocketReach's help center says cached results clear on their own in a few weeks, and that you can ask Google to drop the link sooner with its Remove outdated content tool.
If it doesn't work
- Email the privacy team. RocketReach's help center points removal problems and status questions to privacy@rocketreach.co.
- Write or call. The privacy policy lists RocketReach, 144 N 7th St, PO #421, Brooklyn, NY 11211, and (833) 212-3828 for its data protection officer. It says it may ask you to verify your identity before acting on a request.
- Use an authorized agent. Depending on where you live, someone can file for you. RocketReach asks for a valid power of attorney or a written authorization signed by you and the agent, sent to privacy@rocketreach.co or by post.
- California residents. RocketReach LLC is on California's data broker registry, so it is one of the brokers the state's DROP deletion request reaches. See the California Delete Act guide.
Why your details can come back
RocketReach says it refreshes publicly available professional details periodically. It doesn't say whether a removal stops a new profile built from a new job or a new work address. Check again after you change jobs, and run the form with the new address if you find one.
RocketReach is a business-contact database, so it isn't one of the people-search sites in Defynta's free scan. Run the scan to see which of the sites we track list your name, phone and address.

Frequently asked questions
Is the RocketReach opt-out free?
Neither the form nor RocketReach's help-center article on removal mentions a fee. You don't need an account; RocketReach says the email you enter is used only to confirm you own the profile.
I removed my profile but it still shows in Google. Why?
Google keeps a cached copy for a while. RocketReach says it updates on its own within a few weeks, and you can ask Google to remove the outdated result sooner.
Can someone else remove my profile for me?
Yes, as an authorized agent where your law allows it. RocketReach asks for a power of attorney or a written authorization signed by both of you.
