How to opt out of Claritas

  1. 1

    Open Claritas's privacy page

    Go to claritas.com/privacy-legal. It has the request form for offline marketing databases.

  2. 2

    Submit the offline request with your address

    Include your first and last name and your home address. Claritas reported 12,795 opt-out requests in 2024 that had no postal address and couldn't be processed.

  3. 3

    Handle online data separately

    Use the technology preferences link on the page, or turn on Global Privacy Control in your browser. Claritas says the opt-out applies per browser and per device, and to each email address you use, so repeat it wherever you browse.

  4. 4

    Call for deletion if you prefer

    Claritas lists 1-888-994-9312 for deletion requests.

Watch out for

  • The online opt-out covers only the browser you set it in. Repeat it on every device.
  • Marketing emails stop with the unsubscribe link in each message. You may still get service emails.
  • Claritas is registered as a data broker in California and Oregon, and also in Texas and Vermont.

Does it come back?

Claritas doesn't publish a relisting policy. Browser opt-outs reset if you clear cookies, so repeat them.

Your rights

Claritas is a registered data broker in California, Oregon, Texas and Vermont, and describes deletion and opt-out rights in its privacy notice.

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.

Does the email address handle opt-outs?
