What we know about this broker

ContactOut is a B2B professional contact-data platform (300M professionals, Chrome extension for LinkedIn) used by recruiters and sales teams. Category corrected from 'other' to 'b2b_contact' based on confirmed business model. Opt-out flow at contactout.com/optout requires: name, email, ContactOut profile URL (located via their Directory search), and CAPTCHA. Submission triggers an email verification link that must be clicked within 48 hours. ContactOut claims 24-hour removal after verification. Authorized agents are accepted conditionally (requestor must prove authorization per CCPA). Relisting is a documented failure mode — data has been known to reappear after removal. CA AG registration #553875 confirms opt-out URL and [email protected] as contact. Confirmed 2026-06-16.
