How to opt out of CaliforniaPharmacists.org
- 1
Decide whether you want to be delisted
CaliforniaPharmacists.org says it discourages delisting, because a removed record can no longer be used to verify your license on that site. Your license stays on the official licensing board's records either way.
- 2
Find your record and copy its ID
Search your name on californiapharmacists.org and open your listing. The record ID is shown at the bottom right of the license details block.
- 3
Email the removal address
Write to removals@licensedata.org, say you want your record removed, and include the record ID. The same address handles removals for the related directories run by the same operator, so send one email per record.
- 4
Check the listing later
Search your name again after a few days. If the record is still live, reply to your own email with the record ID again.
Watch out for
- The record ID is required: the about page says the removal email must include it, so an email with only your name can't be matched to a record.
- CaliforniaPharmacists.org is one of several unaffiliated-looking directories from the same operator, and a removal on one site doesn't remove you from the others.
- The site doesn't publish a privacy policy page, so the about page and the removal email are the only route.

Sister sites
These are run by the same company. Removing yourself from CaliforniaPharmacists.org doesn't remove you from them, so check each one.
Does it come back?
CaliforniaPharmacists.org doesn't publish a relisting policy. The record comes from public license data, so check your name on the site every few months.
Your rights
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.
