To opt out of RecruitBot, open its official identity-verification form and describe the data rights you want to exercise. The current form asks for email verification, your LinkedIn profile, location, and redacted proof of identity. Prepare those items before starting. RecruitBot must match your request to the right person; completing the form is not itself confirmation that a record has been deleted.

Use RecruitBot identity-verification form as the starting point. The instructions and public evidence were checked September 14, 2026. No consumer request was submitted, so this guide reports the documented process rather than a tested removal result.

How to submit your RecruitBot request

  1. Open the official form from RecruitBot's CCPA notice. Check that the address belongs to recruitbot.com before entering identifying information. The page is headed Identity Verification, even though the URL says opt-out.
  2. Enter your first and last name and an email account you control. Use the form's email-verification control and follow the message it sends. The visible instructions say to verify the email before submitting the request; a saved form without that step may be incomplete.
  3. Provide the LinkedIn profile URL that identifies your professional record, then your city, state or province, and country. Check the profile carefully if you share a name with another person. Do not substitute somebody else's profile to satisfy a required field.
  4. Prepare the requested proof of identity. RecruitBot gives a utility or phone bill as examples and explicitly asks people not to send a government ID. Its instructions allow the street address to be blacked out while retaining name, city, state where applicable, and country.
  5. Select the relevant law using your actual circumstances. The inspected choices include GDPR and several named state laws. RecruitBot states that processing a request does not concede that a particular law applies; do not select a different residence merely to finish the form.
  6. Describe the request in the required text box. Identify whether you seek deletion, access, or a sale opt-out, and distinguish your professional record from an employer's account. Review the information, submit, and retain any acknowledgement. We did not submit a consumer request during this check.

Choose the scope before sending personal information

  • Deletion: identify the professional record you want removed and request confirmation of the result.
  • Sale opt-out: state this separately if you also want future sales stopped; the CCPA notice describes it as a separate right.
  • Access: use this when you need to understand the record before deciding what to correct or delete.
  • Employer account: tell RecruitBot if the issue concerns information supplied by a recruiting customer rather than its separate professional-data holdings.

Write down the outcome you want before starting. A useful request identifies the relevant record and states whether you want a disclosure stopped, a field corrected, or stored information deleted. If several actions matter, list them separately and ask the provider to confirm the disposition of each one.

Use identifiers tied to the record rather than a large bundle of personal documents. A name alone may match another person, while an unrelated address can confuse the request. Supply the minimum accurate details needed for the particular workflow, then respond to any explained verification step.

What the provider controls

RecruitBot's notice distinguishes information acquired from third parties from information processed for customers. This matters if your information came from an employer's recruiting workflow. A request concerning your own record should explain the context, without asking to close an account owned by another organization.

The public form combines identity matching with the rights request. It is not a public search tool for finding every record. Its LinkedIn field helps identify the professional concerned, while its email step establishes control of a contact channel. Neither should be described as a measured deletion result.

The CCPA notice also lists ccpa@recruitbot.com and the toll-free number (888) 481-6811 for information, access, and deletion requests. If the upload or verification control does not work, ask through that documented channel how to continue securely. Do not send an unredacted identity document by email merely because the form failed.

For example, if an old employer appears in the record, mention the old role and the matching profile URL. If the issue is unwanted recruitment contact, ask the sender where the information came from as well. Removing one provider's record does not demonstrate that a recruiter has deleted an independently stored copy.

Verification and processing: what to keep

Email verification before submission, profile URL, location, and redacted identity evidence.

No fixed completion deadline shown on the inspected form; ask for a case-specific response date.

Retain the submission date, the contact address or form URL, the identifiers used, and any case number. Keep the provider’s acknowledgement separate from its completion response. An automatic email that says a case was received does not establish that the record was removed or that every requested action was accepted.

When the provider asks for more information, check that the message belongs to the case you opened. Ask what is missing and how to supply it securely. Do not repeatedly send unrelated documents to multiple addresses. A precise reply in the existing thread usually makes the record easier to follow.

Reappearance and follow-up checks

RecruitBot's notice describes third-party professional information, so changes in source records and separately held recruiter copies can create additional cleanup work. Ask whether the response covers future inclusion as well as the current matched record.

Recheck the same record or environment first. Compare its identifying details with the request you submitted. A different email, employer, profile URL, or browser preference may explain why the later result is outside the original match. Ask the provider to clarify before describing the entire process as unsuccessful.

A practical privacy log can be brief: provider, relevant record, requested action, submission date, confirmation, and next check. Choose a reminder based on the response you receive. If no completion date is given, ask for one instead of treating a historical average or another provider’s deadline as a promise.

Connect this request to the next useful cleanup

Use the data broker opt-out list to track other providers and the opt-out topic hub to find current instructions. The broader manual data broker removal guide explains how to organize a multi-provider cleanup.

Relevant follow-up workflows are Steppingblocks professional-data removal, Live Data Technologies opt-out steps, and People Data Labs record-removal guide. Use each only when it matches a separate exposure; one provider’s confirmation does not serve as proof about another database.

For wider exposure checks, run a free broker scan. If recurring follow-up would help, compare the scope and cadence of services in the data removal comparison hub. A scan is a starting point, not proof that every private database was searched.

RecruitBot opt out FAQ

Can I skip the email verification?

The inspected form tells you to verify your email before submission. Follow that instruction and check your spam folder if the message does not arrive. If you no longer control the relevant address, explain that through the documented CCPA contact route and ask what alternative verification is acceptable.

Does RecruitBot require a passport or driver's license?

Its form asks for proof such as a utility or phone bill and specifically discourages government ID. It permits hiding the street address while preserving the listed identity and location details. Follow the current form rather than supplying more sensitive evidence than requested.

What if I do not have a LinkedIn profile?

The current form marks the LinkedIn URL as required. Do not invent a URL. Contact the CCPA channel, describe your situation, and ask for another way to locate and verify your record. An alternative process was not tested during this public-page review.

Does an opt-out delete information held by my employer?

A request to RecruitBot concerns the information and processing it can address. Employer-controlled recruiting records can involve a separate organization. Specify the source and purpose of the record so the response can explain whether another business must handle part of the request.

How long should I wait for removal?

The inspected form does not give a fixed completion period. Keep any response date RecruitBot supplies and follow up in the same case if it passes. Historical request averages, where published, are not a promise for a new request or proof of deletion.

Sources and verification notes

RecruitBot identity-verification form and the official privacy policy were checked on September 14, 2026. Screenshots document public instructions only. Request timing, eligibility, exceptions, and identity checks remain subject to the provider’s current process.

These are practical instructions based on the cited provider material, not an individual legal assessment. If a request is denied, keep the reason and consult the relevant regulator’s official guidance for your location. Do not assume that a request available in one jurisdiction has identical terms everywhere.
