Submit the online request
Use the Data Subject Request link in the Cision privacy policy. California's data broker registry lists the same portal as Cision's rights page.
- 3
Or email privacy@cision.com
The policy says opt-out rights can be exercised by emailing privacy@cision.com. The media database notice says the same address handles removal and objections to profiling.
- 4
Or call
California residents can call 877-297-8921, the toll-free number the policy gives for Do Not Sell requests.
Watch out for
- If your data was uploaded by a Cision customer, Cision may act as a processor for it, and the request may need to go to that customer.
- Cision's help center describes platform opt-outs that stop emails from one customer's data group. Those are not the same as removal from the database.
Does it come back?
Cision doesn't publish a relisting policy. Media contacts are collected from public sources, so check again after a few months.
