Cognism
Cognism is registered as a data broker in California. Here's the fastest route to opt out or request deletion — rebuilt into clear steps from the broker's own registered instructions — plus its full official record.
How to remove yourself from Cognism
- Open Cognism's registered opt-out form: https://www.cognism.com/privacy-policy
- Complete the form with the personal details it asks for (usually name, email, and the state you live in) and submit your request to opt out of the sale of your information.
- If that channel doesn't work, Cognism also registered: deletion request form, email request.
- Keep a dated record of your request. Under the CCPA a business must acknowledge a request within 10 business days and respond within 45 days.

What Cognism likely knows about you
By law, every company on this registry is a data broker — under California's Delete Act, a business that knowingly collects and sells the personal information of consumers it has no direct relationship with. In practice that means identifiers a broker like Cognism can buy, compile, and resell: names, addresses, emails and phone numbers, and often household, demographic, and behavioural data — even though you may never have interacted with them.

The record above is reproduced verbatim from the California data broker registry (California Privacy Protection Agency, under the DELETE Act), retrieved 2026-07-08. The step-by-step guidance is rebuilt from that registered text — we never add a method, link, or claim the broker did not register. The registry is maintained by the state; details or registration status may change after this snapshot — always confirm on the broker's own site. We can't verify a broker's opt-out link is currently live (many block automated checks).
