Draup Opt Out: Remove Your People Insights Profile

To opt out of Draup's People Insights database, email privacy@draup.com with the subject “Opt-Out,” or use the self-service privacy route linked from its policy. Identify the candidate record you want removed and provide the matching information the company requests. Draup's policy names first and last name and an email address it has on file for verification.

A Draup opt out is different from unsubscribing from its marketing emails or closing a business-user account.

We checked the public policy and privacy page on October 30, 2026. We did not submit a request, access a paid database or measure a deletion outcome. The policy's explicit email instruction is the practical route described here.

Identify the type of Draup data involved

Draup's privacy policy distinguishes candidates listed in its people database from business users who use its services. A candidate may want a professional record removed even without ever creating a Draup account.

The People Insights section allows requests to access, amend, delete or stop use of candidate information. It describes a matching and verification process, possible limits and retention of minimal information to continue honoring an opt-out.

Understanding how data brokers obtain information helps explain why removing one database entry does not automatically change the original source. Keep the source, database and recipient copies distinct in your notes.

Use the published People Insights email instruction

Locate section 12 of the checked policy, titled “Candidate Access Right and Your Right to Opt Out of Our People Insights Database.” It explicitly gives privacy@draup.com and the email subject “Opt-Out.” This is more specific than sending a general sales inquiry.

Write a short message saying you want your candidate or lead information removed from People Insights and no longer used in the database. Identify yourself using accurate matching details. If you know an associated professional-profile URL or an older work email, explain its relevance rather than sending a bundle of unrelated personal information.

A practical request might state your name, the email associated with the record, the action requested and the address where you can receive follow-up. Ask the company to explain any retained suppression information or any part it cannot fulfill.

Do not include a password, employer confidential material or a copy of your entire résumé by default. The policy describes first and last name plus an email it has on file as matching information. Further evidence should follow a verified request, not an assumption that more disclosure will make deletion faster.

What if you no longer control the old work email?

Explain the mismatch from a current address and ask for a safe alternative verification method. Do not impersonate access to a former employer's account or ask someone else to forward private verification messages without authorization.

Include enough context to identify the record, such as the relevant name, former role and the email that may appear in the database. Draup's policy says it may follow up if more information is needed. That follow-up is part of matching; it does not establish a refusal or completed removal.

If the company cannot verify the record, ask for the reason and what alternative evidence it can accept. Keep the same request thread where possible. Repeated requests under different identities can make the situation harder to resolve.

This is a common issue across business-contact services. If your details also appear elsewhere, the ZoomInfo guide and Apollo.io guide describe their separate processes. A Draup confirmation does not cover those databases.

Understand the public portal's limits

The Do Not Sell My Personal Information page contains separate access and removal sections. The removal text says deleting the individual profile also opts out of sale of the information it contains.

During inspection, the page displayed “To our European Customers” and similarly labeled “Request Access” links beneath the two sections. Read the surrounding heading carefully rather than assuming every link performs the same action or serves every jurisdiction.

The general privacy policy separately directs EU and EEA users to an EU policy. Follow the notice relevant to your location, and use the explicit privacy contact to clarify an unclear portal route. The existence of a page does not establish that every embedded workflow was completed or that all regional rights are identical.

The checked policy also publishes a consumer support hotline, +1 844 423-7287. That is a documented alternative, not a claim that we called it. The email route lets you retain the request wording and correspondence for follow-up.

How long does Draup say requests take?

The People Insights section uses a “reasonable timeframe” description and says it will explain its course of action. It does not give one universal number of days for every database request.

The California terms describe an effort to respond to verifiable requests within 45 days, with notice if more time is needed, up to 90 days. Those are scoped policy statements. They should not be rewritten as a guaranteed worldwide deletion deadline.

The marketing-email section separately says processing may take about ten days. That timing concerns email opt-out, not a promise that a candidate profile disappears in ten days. Keep the two requests separate if you want both outcomes.

Save the original date and any acknowledgment. If the response is incomplete, ask whether the candidate record has been suppressed, which action remains pending and what information is needed. An automatic reply confirms receipt, not completion.

What can remain after removal?

Draup says it may retain the minimum information necessary to keep honoring an opt-out and will not share that suppression information with its business customers or other service users. That is different from promising absolute deletion of all records for every purpose.

The policy also describes limits where verification fails or other obligations apply. Ask for the specific explanation if a request is denied or only partly fulfilled. Do not generalize a limited response into a claim that every professional record must remain public.

Your LinkedIn page, employer biography, conference profile or other source can still exist after the Draup request. A customer may also have an independently retained copy. If those are the actual exposure, address the source or recipient directly.

The ContactOut opt-out guide covers another professional-contact database if it is relevant to your records. Requesting removal from identified sources is more useful than assuming all sales-intelligence products share one suppression list.

Recheck the specific exposure

Keep a record of the profile or evidence that prompted the request, using secure storage. Later, compare the same identifiers and source. New roles, changed email addresses and separate records can complicate a reappearance check; do not label every recruiter message a failed Draup opt-out.

For publicly visible broker listings, a free privacy scan can help identify other exposure. It does not certify Draup's internal database state. Use the opt-out guide hub for company-specific follow-up and keep the resulting confirmations separate.

Your request checklist

• Identify the candidate record and associated email.
• Use the published privacy address with the Opt-Out subject.
• Explain any old-work-email mismatch clearly.
• Respond to legitimate identity checks through a verified channel.
• Retain the outcome and address source profiles separately.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to buy a Draup subscription to opt out?

The policy gives a public email route for candidate requests. It does not describe buying a subscription as a prerequisite. Identify your record and follow the verification instructions rather than creating an unnecessary business account.

Is clicking unsubscribe in an email enough?

That addresses marketing communication. The policy gives a separate People Insights database process. If your objective is removal from the candidate database, state that explicitly.

Will my professional source profile disappear too?

Not automatically. Draup's database and the original website are different records. Change or remove the source directly if that is also part of your privacy objective.

Does the ten-day statement apply to database deletion?

The checked ten-day wording appears in the marketing-email opt-out section. Do not use it as a candidate-database removal guarantee. Follow the response applicable to your actual request.

Why might Draup keep a small amount of information?

Its policy describes retaining minimal information to honor future opt-out suppression. Ask about the scope if needed. A suppression record and a usable customer-facing candidate profile have different purposes.
