How to opt out of Muck Rack

  1. 1

    Search Muck Rack for your name

    Open your profile and copy its URL.

  2. 2

    Choose: hide, edit or remove

    Claiming the profile lets you hide it entirely or remove specific details from it. That keeps the account but hides the listing, and Muck Rack offers a claimed profile extra features.

  3. 3

    Or ask for removal without claiming

    Email hello@muckrack.com with the link to your profile. Muck Rack's journalist privacy notice describes this route.

  • Muck Rack builds records from information indexable by any search engine, so deleting the profile doesn't change the source pages.
  • The notice is written for individuals about their own record, so request it as yourself.

What Muck Rack holds about you

  • Full name and aliases
  • Employment and education
  • Social media profiles

What Muck Rack is known to collect, not a check of your listing.
