How to remove yourself from Argyle
Argyle, which connects income and employment data, takes deletion requests through a form at argyle.com/delete-data-request or by email to privacy@argyle.com, and lets you delete data yourself in its portal, Argyle Passport. Deletion is permanent. Data already sent to a partner stays there.

Does it come back?
Argyle says that if you connect an account again, it obtains data about you again for that connection.
Your rights
Argyle publishes a CCPA notice and says it will honor deletion requests unless it must retain the data.
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.
