Outward Media Opt Out Guide: B2B Data and Privacy Requests

To opt out of Outward Media, email privacy@outwardmedia.com and ask to be excluded from its B2B marketing databases. State whether you also want deletion or a sale/sharing opt out.

Identify the professional contact record concerned, using your business email and relevant company details. Unsubscribing from a newsletter addresses a different task.

Outward Media policy showing privacy email, request timing and verification on September 28, 2026 — Official public page checked September 28, 2026. No consumer request or purchase submitted.

What information does Outward Media handle?

Outward Media describes B2B contact databases assembled from public sources, business directories, trade publications and other data sources. Its policy distinguishes professional contact information from information collected when somebody visits its website or requests a demonstration.

That distinction matters when you write your request. A person who wants their work email excluded from a marketing database should name that purpose. A request about website cookies may not identify the business contact record that concerns them.

Start with the official Outward Media privacy policy. Its B2B section expressly directs professionals to contact the company to opt out of marketing databases. For another provider's records, select its separate process from the opt-out guide hub.

Which request should you make?

Your concern	What to request	What to check afterward
Professional contact data used for marketing	Exclusion from OMI's B2B marketing databases	Which email addresses and records were matched
Sale or sharing of information	Sale/sharing opt out	Scope of the recorded preference
Existing personal information	Deletion, subject to applicable exceptions	Retained categories and the reason for retention
Messages from one sender	Unsubscribe with that sender	Whether unrelated senders still contact you
Website tracking	Browser cookie choices and a relevant privacy request	The browser or device to which the choice applies

The policy says OMI does not sell personal information, while also providing sale/sharing controls and describing B2B data services. You do not need to resolve that terminology to make a clear request. Ask what processing the company will stop for your matched record.

Keep deletion and marketing exclusion explicit. Removing an active contact record and retaining a limited suppression entry can serve different purposes. Ask OMI to explain its treatment rather than assuming that every stored identifier must disappear immediately.

How do you submit an Outward Media opt out?

1. Identify the professional record

Gather the work email address, your name and the company associated with the contact data. If an old employer or previous work address is involved, explain that connection. Do not provide a complete employment history when one record is the concern.

If you received marketing, keep a private copy showing the sender and the relevant address. Receiving a message does not by itself prove OMI supplied the data. Describe what you know and ask whether OMI holds a matching record.

2. Use the official privacy email

Send your request to privacy@outwardmedia.com, the address published in the policy. A practical subject is “B2B marketing database opt out and privacy request.” Include your intended actions, the relevant identifiers and a reply address you can monitor.

You can write: Please exclude my professional contact information from your B2B marketing databases and record my sale/sharing opt out. Please also consider my deletion request and explain any information you retain. The affected business email and company are listed below.

Adapt that wording to your actual goal. If you only want a marketing opt out, do not add a request for copies of all your data. A narrower request can make the scope easier to understand without giving up the ability to ask further questions later.

3. Treat the website controls carefully

The policy points to a “Do Not Share or Sell My Personal Information” control near the top of the page. Our initial browser inspection did not expose a completed privacy-request form in the page's visible fields. It did show a newsletter form with name, company and email fields.

Do not submit the newsletter form as an opt out. Use the published privacy email if the privacy control does not open a usable request route. A section title or link is not confirmation that a request has been recorded.

4. Save the request and handle verification

Keep the sent message, request date and any reply or reference number. Check your spam folder for a response. We did not submit a request, so this guide cannot promise an automatic acknowledgement screen or a particular email sequence.

OMI says it verifies requests to know specific information or to delete by matching supplied information with its records. It may ask for more information when necessary. Ask why an additional identifier is needed and how to send it securely before supplying sensitive documents.

What timing does the policy describe?

In its California request section, OMI says it will acknowledge requests within 10 business days and respond substantively within 45 calendar days. It describes a possible additional 45 days with notice and a reason. These are the company's stated response periods for that process.

They are not a measured completion rate from a consumer request, and they do not establish a universal deadline for every request from every location. If OMI provides a case-specific timeline, save it alongside the original request and follow up against that response.

When following up, include the earlier date and reference. Ask whether the company matched the intended business contact, whether it completed each requested action and what remains outstanding. Repeated new requests without context can make it harder to understand the status of one case.

What will this change about business marketing?

An OMI response concerns OMI's handling of matched information. It does not establish that an advertiser, another database company or a public business directory has removed its own copy. Ask a continuing sender about its source if you need to trace a particular message.

Use a separate request where another company holds the information. The ZoomInfo opt-out guide covers another professional-contact service, while the Altair Data Resources guide addresses a different marketing-data provider. Neither request automatically completes the OMI process.

An email unsubscribe can reduce messages from that sender, but it should not be treated as proof of database deletion. Keep those two outcomes separate in your notes: communication preference changed, and underlying contact record addressed.

For another direct-marketing contact and its matching requirements, use the Anchor Computer opt-out guide. Treat it as a separate request with its own confirmation.

Could the information return?

OMI describes data sources that can continue publishing professional information. A changed role, updated business listing or different email address can create a new matching problem later. That is a reason to review the scope of the suppression response, not evidence that OMI necessarily ignored your request.

Keep any confirmation so you can reference it if the same record appears again. Ask whether the earlier preference covers the new identifier or whether a further request is needed. The general data-broker removal guide helps organize requests across providers without confusing their outcomes.

For a separate check of public exposure, run a free data broker scan. Such a scan cannot certify the contents of OMI's private B2B databases. Its value is identifying other public records that may need their own attention.

Before you mark the request complete

Confirm which professional email or contact record OMI matched.
Record whether the response covers marketing exclusion, sale/sharing, deletion or a combination.
Keep any explanation of retained information and its purpose.
Separate OMI's response from unsubscribe confirmations issued by other senders.
Revisit a materially changed record using the existing reference where possible.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to create an account?

The published email route does not require creating an OMI account. Send the privacy request directly and follow any relevant verification instructions you receive.

Should I include my home address?

Start with information relevant to the professional record. A home address is not automatically needed for a work-email concern. Ask OMI which matching details are necessary if the initial information is insufficient.

Can I request deletion as well as an opt out?

The policy provides both choices, subject to applicable conditions. Name both actions if that is your goal and ask for a response that distinguishes them.

Does a quiet inbox prove removal?

No. Marketing volume can change for many reasons. The company's response about the matched record is more useful evidence than whether a particular campaign reaches you.
