What Anchor Computer is known to collect, not a check of your listing.
Does it come back?
Anchor says it makes a best effort to keep deleted data from being added again, and that clients may obtain your information from other sources.
Your rights
Anchor says it is registered as a data broker in California, Vermont, Oregon and Texas. Its 2024 California filing reports a 14-day response time to delete and opt-out requests.
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.
