How to opt out of e.Republic
- 1
Open the privacy request page
e.Republic runs its request form on a Salesforce-hosted page, linked from the "Do Not Sell My Personal Information" link on its homepage. The address is erepublic.my.salesforce-sites.com/PrivacyRequest, so the domain looks odd but it's the company's own form.
- 2
Decide which right you're using
The page names three: opting out of the sale of your personal information, requesting a copy of it, and deleting certain personal information. If you only want to stop the sale, ask for that rather than deletion.
- 3
Complete the form under the introduction
The fields sit below the text on the same page. Use the email address you want e.Republic to reply to.
- 4
Email privacy@erepublic.com if you have questions
The page gives this address for questions about the request. Keep a screenshot of what you submitted and the date.
- 5
Look for a reply after about five weeks
e.Republic's own page promises no deadline. Its California filing reports a median of 37 days for deletion requests in 2024, so a reply inside two weeks would be early.
Watch out for
- The form is written for deletion of "certain" personal information, not everything e.Republic holds about you.
- e.Republic denied 216 of the 7,606 deletion requests it logged for 2024, so a refusal is possible.
- The registry entry lists several sites besides erepublic.com, including govtech.com and governing.com. e.Republic doesn't say on the form whether one request covers all of them.
Does it come back?
e.Republic doesn't publish a relisting policy. If you sign up for one of its sites or events after opting out, expect your details to be collected again, and file a fresh request.
Your rights
e.Republic is registered as a data broker with California's privacy agency. California residents can also use the state's free DROP tool, which sends one deletion request to registered brokers.
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.
