How to remove yourself from TwentyCi
Use the form on TwentyCi's opt-out page. It lets you ask where TwentyCi got your information, make a subject access request, or stop its communications. Items already dispatched can still reach you over the following couple of weeks.
On average, Serus sends about 184 removal requests per person, 89% of them to data brokers, so expect TwentyCi to be one of many.

How to opt out of TwentyCi
- 1
Open the opt-out form
Go to twentyci.co.uk/opt-out.
- 2
Choose what you're asking for
The form covers three requests: where TwentyCi received your information, a subject access request, or simply stopping communications. You can ask for the first two before you opt out if you want to know how you ended up on its list.
- 3
Submit it
TwentyCi says what you enter is kept in its complaints system and used only to fulfil your request, and that it may pass the request to the relevant data controllers so it's fully actioned.
- 4
Watch for stragglers
TwentyCi warns that some mailings may already be dispatched, so you can still receive them over the following couple of weeks.
- 5
Escalate by email or to the ICO
If the form doesn't settle it, the Data Protection Officer can be reached at dataprotection@twentyci.co.uk or on 01908 829300. If you're still unhappy, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office.
Watch out for
- TwentyCi sends marketing on behalf of its clients, so an opt-out stops TwentyCi's communications but a message you got from a client is covered by a separate client policy.
- TwentyCi keeps a suppression file of people who opted out. Its policy says that without it, it might collect your data from another source and the marketing could start again.
- Erasure under data protection law isn't absolute, and TwentyCi's policy says so.

Does it come back?
TwentyCi's policy explains that it keeps a suppression file so that opted-out people don't start receiving marketing again if their data arrives from another source. It doesn't publish anything beyond that on relisting.
