ZoomInfo's opt-out is a one-field form at privacyrequest.zoominfo.com/remove/verify: enter your email address, click Submit, and follow the steps it gives you. ZoomInfo's Trust Center says that once the request is processed, your profile is no longer available in its products. You don't need a ZoomInfo account.
ZoomInfo is a business-contact database. Its privacy policy says it collects business contact information about people in their professional capacity, builds professional profiles from it, and provides them to business customers for their own sales, marketing and recruiting. Its Personal Information Notice says a profile can include your name, photo, phone numbers (including mobile), email addresses (including personal ones such as Gmail), job title, office address, work and education history, and links to your social media profiles and to articles about you. Its privacy statement for state residents says plainly that it sells the personal information in its database to its customers.
Checked against ZoomInfo's live removal form, its Trust Center privacy page, its privacy policy (updated October 13, 2025), its Privacy Statement for Residents of Specified States (last updated June 29, 2026) and its Personal Information Notice on October 23, 2026. We read the pages; we did not submit the form.
How to remove yourself from ZoomInfo
- Go to privacyrequest.zoominfo.com/remove/verify. You can also open the Trust Center at zoominfo.com/trust-center/your-privacy and click Request Removal, which opens the same page.
- The form is headed "Request to Remove Your Information from ZoomInfo." Enter your email address in the Email Address field. It is the only field.
- Click Submit and follow the steps ZoomInfo gives you. The page lists three: help ZoomInfo find your information, submit the request to remove your profile, and receive a notice that the request is being processed.
- The Trust Center says that once the request is processed, your profile will no longer be available in ZoomInfo's products.
We stopped before clicking Submit, so we did not see the screens after it. Follow what the page shows.
An older link, zoominfo.com/update/remove, now opens ZoomInfo's data access request ("Know What Data ZoomInfo Collected On You"), not the removal form. Use the address in step 1.
Which email address to use
The form finds you by email address, and ZoomInfo says a profile can carry business and personal addresses.
- Start with your current work email.
- Repeat with past work emails, in case a profile still carries an address from an old job.
- Try personal addresses you have used for work. ZoomInfo's notice says profiles can include freemail addresses such as Gmail, Yahoo and Hotmail.
- If ZoomInfo emailed you a Personal Information Notice, use the address it went to. The Trust Center says it may send that notice if it has your email address.
The form says the information you give is used only to honor your privacy preferences.
What a removal covers
- Sale and sharing. The Trust Center says that, where it applies in your jurisdiction, removing your profile also counts as a request to opt out of the sale or sharing of the data in it.
- Cookies are separate. To opt out of sharing through cookies, use the Cookie Settings link. ZoomInfo's state privacy statement also says it honors Global Privacy Control signals.
- Your company stays. The Trust Center says removing your profile does not remove business or company information. Correcting a company profile is a separate Claim Company Profile request.
- ZoomInfo's other brands. The Trust Center says that, for these requests, ZoomInfo includes the brands and products of ZoomInfo Technologies LLC and its subsidiaries, including GTM AI and Datanyze.
- The public directory. ZoomInfo's notice says limited profile details can appear in public Directory Pages on its site: name, company, headquarters phone, office address, job title, education and work history, professional affiliations and links to articles about you. It says direct phone lines, mobile numbers and email addresses are not shown there.
Want to see what ZoomInfo holds first? The Trust Center has a separate Request Access button. ZoomInfo says it will send you a report once it has verified your identity.
How long does it take?
The Trust Center says the privacy team works to process requests "as quickly as possible," and that if the automated workflow can't complete a request, the team reviews it and helps directly. The state privacy statement says ZoomInfo tries to respond to a verifiable consumer request within 45 days, and up to 90 days if it tells you in writing why it needs more time.
The same statement reports that during the previous calendar year ZoomInfo received 7,282 deletion requests and 2,013 opt-out requests from California residents, complied with all of them in full, and took a median of under one day to respond.
If it doesn't work
- Email or call the privacy team. privacy@zoominfo.com. The state privacy statement lists 833-901-0859 and the privacy policy lists 360-718-5630.
- Write. ZoomInfo, Attn: Privacy, 330 W Columbia Way, Floor 8, Vancouver, WA 98660.
- Judges, law enforcement and other covered people. People covered by New Jersey's Daniel's Law, Oklahoma's Judicial Security and Privacy Act or a similar state law can email stateremoval@zoominfo.com to ask ZoomInfo not to disclose their protected information. The Trust Center says these requests get expedited processing.
- Use an authorized agent. Someone can file for you. The state privacy statement asks for proof that you gave the agent permission, such as signed permission or a power of attorney.
- Appeal. Residents of the states the statement lists, among them Colorado, Connecticut, New Jersey, Texas and Virginia, can email privacy@zoominfo.com to appeal a decision against them.
- EU. ZoomInfo's notice names VeraSafe as its representative in the EU, at +420 228 881 031.
- California residents. ZoomInfo says it is a registered data broker in California, Oregon, Texas and Vermont. See the California Delete Act guide.
Why your details can come back
The Trust Center says ZoomInfo may keep limited information to honor your request, keep a record of it and help prevent your information from being re-added. ZoomInfo gathers data from the web, from its customers and users, from licensed sources and from its own research team, including phone interviews. The pages we read don't say whether a profile built later around a new work address is caught by an earlier removal. Check again after you change jobs, and run the form with the new address if you need to. The Trust Center has a Search for my Professional Profile link if you want to look first.
ZoomInfo is a business-contact database, so it isn't one of the people-search sites in Defynta's free scan, and Defynta doesn't file removals with it: this one is do-it-yourself. Run the scan to see which of the sites we track list your name, phone and address.

Frequently asked questions
Is the ZoomInfo opt-out free?
Neither the Trust Center nor the removal form mentions a fee. ZoomInfo's state privacy statement says it charges no fee for a verifiable request unless it is excessive, repetitive or manifestly unfounded, and that you don't need an account to make one.
Will removing my profile remove my company from ZoomInfo?
No. The Trust Center says removing your individual profile does not remove business or company information.
Does Global Privacy Control remove me from ZoomInfo?
ZoomInfo's state privacy statement says it honors the signal. Profile removal is a separate request: use the form.
Who runs ZoomInfo?
ZoomInfo Technologies LLC, in Vancouver, Washington.
