What we know about this broker

Confirmed 2026-06-16. Acuant, Inc. was acquired by GB Group plc (GBG) in 2021 for $736 million and subsequently merged with IDology to form GBG's Americas identity-verification division. The acuant.com domain now redirects to gbg.com/en-us. Registered with California AG (registration ID 562177, approved 2023-01-30). Primary deletion/rights channel is the OneTrust webform at the opt_out_url above (also linked from acuant.com footer). Separate deletion form previously at acuant.com/data-subject-rights-request/ also redirects to gbg.com. Phone alternative: 1 (833) 383-0085. GBG requires proof of identity (government-issued photo ID plus recent utility bill or bank statement dated within 3 months) before processing requests — hence id_required: true. Authorized agents are explicitly accepted with written consumer authorization. GBG states they do not sell personal data but maintain an opt-out-of-sale webform for CCPA compliance. No public rescannable profile — tier 3, verify.method broker_confirmed. Category set to risk_investigation reflecting Acuant/GBG's identity-verification and KYC/AML positioning rather than the seed's unclassified "other."
