Email support if you want your data erased, not just an opt-out
Fetcher's help center says erasure requests go to support@fetcher.ai. Give the name and email address a recruiter would have used to contact you, so the team can find your profile.

Stop the recruiter emails too
If a recruiter mailed you through Fetcher, the help center says unsubscribing stops further messages from that tool.
Watch out for
- The opt-out page is a web app, so it only works in a normal browser with JavaScript on.
- Fetcher's help center describes a 72-hour deletion window under its GDPR page, while the privacy policy says it aims to answer California opt-outs within 14 days. Expect the longer one.
- Your data may be held by the recruiting company that used Fetcher as well. That copy is theirs, and you have to ask them separately.

Does it come back?
Fetcher doesn't publish a relisting policy. Recruiting tools rebuild profiles from public sources, so search for yourself again after a few months.
Your rights
Fetcher's privacy policy lists rights to access, correct, object, restrict and erase. California residents get the opt-out page.
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.
