How to opt out of PBI Research
- 1
Open the CCPA consumer request form
Go to pbinfo.com/crf. The form is headed CCPA Consumer Request and has required fields marked with an asterisk.
- 2
Complete the required fields
Fill in everything marked as required, then pass the reCAPTCHA check at the bottom, which is Google's, so it works only with a browser that allows it.
- 3
Submit it
The form says nothing about confirmation or timing.
Watch out for
- The form is framed as a CCPA request, so PBI may treat it as one even if you live elsewhere.
Does it come back?
PBI doesn't publish a relisting policy.
Your rights
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.
