How to Opt Out and Remove Your Information from IDStrong
IDStrong provides an opt‑out or “data removal” option. Their website includes a page for “Do Not Sell / Share My Personal Information” and a public removal form.
However, removal may be limited by dependencies on public records and third‑party data brokers: even after opting out, information already aggregated elsewhere might persist — especially if it comes from public or government‑accessible sources, where IDStrong may have limited control.
Enroll in mePrism Privacy to ensure continuous monitoring and removal from IDStrong and other brokers.
IDStrong Privacy Risks and How to Remove Your Personal Data
They scrape and aggregate your personal data:
ZoomInfo collects and sells personal and professional information not only from public sources (like company websites and LinkedIn profiles) but also by purchasing additional data from third-party vendors, business partners, and crowd-sourced databases. Much of this information is gathered without direct consent, making it even more critical to remove your information from this broker.
They engage in automatic data harvesting:
Through ZoomInfo’s browser extensions, email tools, and CRM integrations, the company has been criticized for harvesting users' contact lists, email metadata, and other private information. This type of automatic collection poses a serious data broker privacy risk, especially for professionals unaware their networks are being exposed.
Opting out is possible, but removal is difficult:
While ZoomInfo offers a process to request the removal of your data, it requires providing additional sensitive information to verify your identity. Even after completing the removal process, there is a significant risk that your profile could reappear later due to ongoing data collection practices. If you want to fully protect yourself, using a professional service like mePrism to remove your information from this broker and hundreds of others is the safest and most effective strategy.
