ZoomInfo Opt Out: Remove Your Profile From ZoomInfo (2026)

5 min read

ZoomInfo has over 100 million professional profiles and sells access to them — your work email, direct line, job title, company, LinkedIn — to sales teams. If you've ever gotten a cold email at an address you never gave anyone, or been contacted through a work number you didn't publish, there's a reasonable chance ZoomInfo was the source.

What ZoomInfo Shows About You

  • Full name and job title
  • Work and personal email addresses

Why ZoomInfo Profiles Reappear

ZoomInfo crawls company sites, press releases, job boards, and LinkedIn constantly. Change jobs, get quoted somewhere, or show up in a company directory, and a new profile can appear within weeks. The opt-out hides your current profile — it doesn't stop ZoomInfo from building a new one next time it finds your name somewhere. Resubmitting every few months is the only way to actually stay off.

ZoomInfo vs. Other Data Brokers

ZoomInfo is a B2B tool — it's mostly used by sales teams, not by people trying to find your home address. Consumer people-search sites like Spokeo, BeenVerified, and Whitepages are separate systems with their own data and their own opt-out processes. Removing yourself from ZoomInfo does nothing for those, and vice versa. If you want broad coverage, you need to handle both sides. See our background check opt-out guide for the consumer side.
