Clearbit Opt Out Guide: Remove Your B2B Data in 2026

To complete a Clearbit opt out in 2026, use HubSpot's Your Privacy Preferences form and choose the option for removing or opting out your personal data from its commercial dataset. HubSpot completed its acquisition of Clearbit in December 2023, and its current privacy policy directs professional-dataset requests to this form. Submit the business identifiers that help locate your record, complete any identity verification, save the confirmation, and recheck the same identifiers later. This guide uses official material checked July 30, 2026; no request was submitted and no result is claimed.

Run a free exposure scan if you need a broader inventory, then continue through the opt-out guide hub without confusing Clearbit dataset removal with a HubSpot customer-account request.

Source basis: HubSpot's current privacy policy, Clearbit's legacy data request help article, and HubSpot's acquisition notice were checked July 30, 2026. The current owner policy controls when an older Clearbit help link and today's form differ.

Clearbit opt-out facts at a glance

Choose the commercial-dataset request

Clearbit has historically supplied B2B enrichment data about professionals and companies. HubSpot's current policy says it acts as a controller when it collects professional information, including information from public and third-party sources, and makes that data available to customers. The policy provides a dedicated form to remove information from that commercial dataset or opt out of sharing for advertising and marketing. That is the relevant route when your concern is a professional record rather than data stored in a HubSpot customer's CRM.

Read what a data broker is for the difference between a broker-maintained commercial dataset, an employer page, and customer-controlled CRM data. If a company placed your details into its own HubSpot account, that company may control the record and should receive the request. The commercial-dataset form addresses the separate data that HubSpot controls for enrichment products.

Prepare identifiers without oversharing

List the professional identifiers that could match the record: your full name, current and former work email addresses, employer, job title, and relevant public professional profile. Keep a private note of where you saw the information and when. Use the official form's live prompts as the authority. Do not send a passport, Social Security number, or unrelated personal document unless the provider explains why a proportionate verification step is necessary for your request.

Use an email address you can access because privacy systems commonly send confirmation or follow-up messages. If an old work address is no longer available, include it as a matching identifier but provide a current contact address where the form permits. Check that any follow-up originates from a HubSpot or Clearbit-controlled domain before responding. Save the form destination, submission date, request type, and the identifiers you supplied.

How to opt out of Clearbit step by step

1. Open HubSpot's current privacy policy and follow the Your Privacy Preferences link for the commercial dataset.
2. Choose the option that removes or opts out your personal data from the commercial dataset of professionals. Do not select only a cookie preference if dataset removal is your goal.
3. Enter accurate matching information shown by the live form, using current and former professional identifiers where appropriate.
4. Complete any identity or email verification delivered through the official workflow, then save the confirmation and date.
5. Recheck the same business identifiers after the provider has had a reasonable processing period. Follow up through the original case if the matching record remains.

Timing, verification, and follow-up

HubSpot says it will respond to correction or deletion requests within a reasonable timeframe and may verify identity using a method appropriate to the request. The checked sources did not publish a shorter fixed Clearbit commercial-dataset deadline. Avoid promising a specific number of days. A request can take longer when identifiers do not match, a confirmation is incomplete, or the record is controlled by a customer rather than HubSpot.

Use the evidence method in how to remove yourself from data brokers and record Clearbit in the data broker opt-out list. Label a request as submitted, verified, or confirmed removed only when you have evidence for that state.

Why professional data can reappear

A professional dataset can be refreshed from public pages, company websites, customers, or other third-party sources. A successful request should address the matched commercial record, but it does not erase an employer biography, public filing, conference page, or another company's database. Correct outdated source pages you control and decide whether direct work contact details need to remain public. New roles, employers, email addresses, or public profiles justify another check.

Compare the UpLead opt-out guide for another B2B database with a distinct process. If repeated checks are difficult, review the data removal service comparison and compare actual supported sources, reporting, cadence, and country eligibility.

Do not confuse dataset removal with account deletion

Clearbit's help center separately tells customers to contact support to delete an account. Closing a product account can remove account data but does not automatically prove that a professional enrichment record has been opted out. Conversely, removing a professional record does not necessarily close a paid account or delete customer-controlled CRM data. State the intended scope in your request and complete each relevant route separately.

Clearbit opt-out FAQ

Who handles Clearbit opt-outs now?

HubSpot owns Clearbit and its current privacy policy provides the commercial-dataset opt-out and deletion route. Follow the current HubSpot form when older help material differs.

How long does a Clearbit opt out take?

The current policy promises a reasonable timeframe but the checked commercial-dataset sources do not state a shorter fixed period. Save the confirmation and use the original case for follow-up.

Does deleting a Clearbit account remove my enrichment record?

Not necessarily. Account deletion and commercial professional-dataset removal are separate scopes. Use the privacy form for the enrichment record and support for an account.

Can Clearbit data return after removal?

New professional identifiers or refreshed public and third-party sources can create later matches. Keep the confirmation, correct source pages you control, and recheck after major job or contact changes.
