How to remove your work email from Lusha.
Step-by-step guide to removing your work email from Lusha via their privacy center. Covers GDPR Article 17 / CCPA §1798.105 wording, the expected response timeline, and what to do if your data re-appears.
Submit a verified data subject request via Lusha’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 Lusha.
Lusha is a B2B contact database with a popular Chrome extension - they aggregate work emails, direct-dial phone numbers, and LinkedIn profile data from public sources and their user-base's extension installations. If your LinkedIn profile is public or your work email appears anywhere on the open web, you're likely in their database.
Lusha doesn't ask permission before listing you. Under GDPR Article 17 (EU/UK) and CCPA §1798.105 (California), you have an explicit right to demand erasure - Lusha has a statutory obligation to comply with verified requests.
Step-by-step: how to opt out of Lusha.
Open Lusha's removal request page
Go to lusha.com/privacy-center/request-removal. This is Lusha's official data subject request portal - the same form covers both GDPR erasure and CCPA deletion.
Enter your work email
Use the exact address you want removed. If you've used multiple work emails (different jobs, alias forms like first.last@ vs first@), file a separate request for each so Lusha can find every linked record.
Select deletion / erasure (not just "do not sell")
Lusha may surface multiple request types - access, deletion, do-not-sell. Pick the deletion / right-to-erasure option for full removal. The do-not-sell flow only blocks future sale; deletion removes the records.
Cite GDPR Article 17 and CCPA §1798.105
In the request notes include: "I am exercising my right under GDPR Article 17 and CCPA §1798.105 to request deletion of all personal information you hold about me - including business contact records, phone numbers, LinkedIn data, and any enrichment fields tied to this address."
Verify your identity if prompted
Lusha may email a verification link to confirm ownership of the address. The request only enters their processing queue after verification.
Save the confirmation and follow up at 30 days
Keep the confirmation email. If you don't hear back within the GDPR 30-day window, send a follow-up citing the original request date. Persistent silence past 60 days is grounds to file with your data protection authority.

What happens after you submit.
Lusha processes the request in their compliance queue. Internally, this typically involves:
- Identity verification - Lusha confirms you control the address being submitted
- Data lookup - they locate every record linked to that address across their database and Chrome-extension cache
- Hard deletion - records are removed from their primary database; the address is added to their suppression list to limit re-ingestion
- Vendor notification - downstream customers who already pulled your record may not be retroactively notified; the law obliges Lusha to delete from their own systems, not from their customers' CRMs
- Confirmation - written confirmation that the request was fulfilled
Will your data come back.
Medium. Lusha's Chrome extension feeds new data continuously from their user base - any time another Lusha user views your LinkedIn or visits a page where your email is published, your record can be re-discovered. Plan to re-check every 60-90 days, or use Inbox Nanny's monthly monitoring to catch re-listings automatically.
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.
