Does it come back?
Data Axle doesn't publish a relisting policy. Its site says its consumer and business records are continuously verified and refreshed, so it keeps taking in new data.
Your rights
Data Axle is on California's data broker registry. For 2024 it reported 41,547 opt-out-of-sale requests and 37,141 deletion requests, all completed. The mean response was 12 days, the median 9.
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.
