How to remove your work email from Clearbit.
Step-by-step guide to removing your work email from Clearbit (now part of HubSpot) via their official CCPA opt-out form and privacy team. Covers GDPR Article 17 / CCPA §1798.105 wording, response timeline, and re-listing risk.
Submit a verified data subject request via Clearbit’s privacy form, cite GDPR Article 17 / CCPA, and follow up if you don’t hear back within typically 7-21 days (30-day legal limit under GDPR Article 12(3), 45 days under CCPA §1798.130; each extendable with notice for complex requests).
Why is your email in Clearbit.
Clearbit is a B2B data enrichment platform (now part of HubSpot) - they enrich business records with work emails, job titles, employer history, and firmographic data. Their data comes from a combination of public web scraping, partner feeds, and customer-contributed records, which means your work email can be in their index even if you've never interacted with Clearbit directly.
Clearbit doesn't ask permission before adding you. Under GDPR Article 17 (EU/UK) and CCPA §1798.105 (California), you have a statutory right to demand erasure - Clearbit (and HubSpot, their parent company) is legally required to comply with verified requests.
Step-by-step: how to opt out of Clearbit.
Open Clearbit's CCPA opt-out form
Go to clearbit.com/ccpa-opt-out. Clearbit's CCPA form handles deletion / opt-out requests for both California residents and non-California users who want to invoke GDPR erasure - the same backend processes both.
Or email the Clearbit privacy team
Alternatively, email privacy@clearbit.com. State: "I am exercising my right under GDPR Article 17 and CCPA §1798.105 to request deletion of all personal information Clearbit (and any related HubSpot entity) holds about me, including enrichment records, profile data, and any contact details tied to this address."
Enter your work email and identifying details
Submit the exact address you want removed. Include your full name and corporate domain so Clearbit can locate every linked record. If you've worked at multiple companies, file a separate request per distinct work email.
Cite GDPR Article 17 and CCPA §1798.105 explicitly
Include the citation in the message: "GDPR Article 17 (Right to Erasure) / CCPA §1798.105 (Right to Delete)." Clearbit's privacy team can route faster when the legal basis is clearly stated.
Verify your identity if prompted
Clearbit may ask you to confirm ownership of the address by email. The request enters their processing queue after verification.
Save the confirmation and follow up at 30 days
Keep the email thread. If you don't hear back within the GDPR 30-day window, send a follow-up. After another 30 days of silence, escalate to your data protection authority.

What happens after you submit.
Clearbit processes the request in their compliance queue. Internally, this typically involves:
- Identity verification - Clearbit confirms you control the address being removed
- Data lookup - they locate every enrichment record tied to your address across their stored profiles
- Hard deletion - records are removed from their enrichment cache and stored profile data; downstream HubSpot systems are also flagged where applicable
- Vendor notification - Clearbit's GDPR Article 19 obligations require notifying customers who received your data through enrichment - ask them to confirm what was notified
- Confirmation - written confirmation that the request was fulfilled
Will your data come back.
Medium. Clearbit continuously re-enriches from public web sources and partner feeds - their suppression list reduces but doesn't eliminate re-ingestion. Since their data is shared with HubSpot's enrichment dataset, the suppression also flows through HubSpot - but a fresh enrichment from a different partner source can re-create a profile. Re-check every 60-90 days, or use Inbox Nanny's monthly monitoring.
This is exactly why we built the monitoring layer of the nanny: she re-scans monthly, catches re-listings, and re-sends the removal request automatically. Manual one-time removal is a leaky bucket. Ongoing monitoring is what actually keeps you out.
