How to Remove Personal & Business Information from ZoomInfo

ZoomInfo is a powerful data broker that collects, compiles, and sells access to millions of personal and business profiles. While it can be a useful tool for sales and recruiting, it often lists personal contact details and business information without consent. If your profile or your company’s data is on ZoomInfo, you have the right to request edits or complete removal.

This guide explains why ZoomInfo collects data, what they display, and how you can remove your personal or business information from their directory.

Why You May Want to Opt Out of ZoomInfo

  • Privacy protection – ZoomInfo often lists personal phone numbers, email addresses, and professional history.
  • Reputation management – Old, inaccurate, or misleading details can harm your credibility or your business.
  • Compliance – In certain jurisdictions, you may have a legal right to request data removal.
  • Security – Reducing your digital footprint lowers risks of spam, scams, and identity theft.

What ZoomInfo Publishes About You or Your Business

ZoomInfo aggregates data from public sources, third-party providers, and user submissions. Profiles often include:

  • Personal details: full name, job title, professional history, email addresses, direct phone numbers, social profiles.
  • Business details: company name, address, industry, employee headcount, revenue estimates, and department contacts.
  • Other information: logos, websites, social links, and data points inferred through AI or web scraping.

How to Remove or Correct Information on ZoomInfo

Step 1: Locate Your Profile

Go to ZoomInfo.com and search for your personal or business profile.

Step 2: Claim or Suggest Edits

Open the profile and look for options like “Claim Profile” or “Suggest an Edit.” You may need to create an account to proceed.

Step 3: Verify Your Identity or Business Affiliation

ZoomInfo may require proof (such as a business email, LinkedIn, or documentation) to confirm your authority.

Step 4: Submit Removal or Edit Request

Clearly state whether you want the profile:

  • Removed completely, or
  • Updated (specific fields corrected or deleted).

Step 5: Provide Supporting Documentation

Attach documents if needed (e.g., business license, proof of identity, or updated contact details).

Step 6: Follow Up if Necessary

If no changes appear after a reasonable time, escalate by contacting ZoomInfo support directly.
