Equifax Canada opt-out
equifax.ca How to remove yourself from Equifax Canada
Equifax Canada takes privacy requests through a Privacy Contact Form on its site. Use it to ask what it holds about you or to raise a concern.
On average, Serus sends about 184 removal requests per person, 89% of them to data brokers, so expect Equifax Canada to be one of many.

Frequently asked
Does the form delete my Equifax Canada credit file?
The page doesn't say so. It's a contact route for privacy requests, so state your request and ask Equifax what it can do.
What happens after I submit it?
The form says your request has been received and a representative will be in contact.
Is Equifax Canada the same as Equifax in the US or UK?
No. Each runs its own privacy route, so a request to one doesn't reach the others.
