How to opt out of American City Business Journals

  1. 1

    Open the privacy page

    Go to acbj.com/privacy. The California registry lists it as the page that explains how consumers exercise their privacy rights.

  2. 2

    Follow the request instructions on that page

    Use the route the page gives for access, deletion or opting out, and say clearly which right you're using.

  3. 3

    Email the registered contact if you need to

    The registry lists legal@bizjournals.com as ACBJ's contact address. Write to it if the privacy page gives you no working route, and keep a copy of your message.

Watch out for

  • The registry entry doesn't describe a specific opt-out form, so the privacy page is the place to read the current route.
  • ACBJ publishes the Business Journals, so a bizjournals.com article that names you is a separate matter from a data request.

Does it come back?

ACBJ doesn't publish a relisting policy in its registry entry. Check again after a few months.

Your rights

American City Business Journals. Inc. is listed in the California data broker registry, which gives California residents the right to ask for deletion of their data through the Delete Act's rules.

California: CCPA. If you live in California, the CCPA lets you ask a business to delete the personal information it holds about you and to stop selling or sharing it. Businesses generally have 45 days to respond.

California: the Delete Act. Data brokers that hold information on Californians must register with the state. California residents can use DROP, the state's Delete Request and Opt-out Platform, to send one deletion request to every registered broker at once.

Other US states. Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Texas, Oregon and a growing list of other states give residents a similar right to delete. Vermont, Texas and Oregon also make data brokers register with the state. Where no state law applies, the broker's own opt-out above still works for most people.

General information, not legal advice.
