Step-by-Step Guide

Open the official opt-out form

Go to Apollo’s privacy center and select Do Not Sell My Info. Use only the official apollo.io form to ensure privacy.

Submit your identifiers (email/phone + CAPTCHA)

You must submit your business email address. Ensure it is correct before you click submit.

Verify via code or link (email/SMS)

Check your inbox for an email. When you receive the link, click it to proceed with the verification.

Confirm deletion request

After verification, you’ll see an on-screen notice of processing. Save that for the records.

Track confirmation & timeline

Processing is often within 24 hours, but it may take a few days. If nothing updates, resend once.

Timelines, Verification & What to Expect

Queries are generally completed in one to seven days. Proof appears on the page and in your inbox. If no update appears after a week, resend your request once through [email protected]. Keep the short email trail in a secure folder for future checks.

Edge Cases & Troubleshooting

• Lost email/phone: ask Apollo how to verify another way.
• “Record not found”: try another address.
• CAPTCHA fails: reload or retry later.
• No code/link: check spam, then resend once.
• Region limits: use GDPR or CCPA rights.
• Account vs listing: deleting an account differs from public data removal.
• Retry: wait briefly before resubmitting.

Will my data reappear?

Data brokers continuously update from public sources and partners, so profiles may return. Save your proof and set a reminder to re-check every 3–6 months. If it reappears, re-submit quickly. This reduces the exposure of sensitive information. As a result, this maintains privacy and security.
