Removal

Take your business off Vetted Leads.

One email does it. You do not need an account, you do not have to say why, and nobody here will try to talk you out of it.

No account
No reason needed
It holds on every future run

Before you start

The whole thing, before you start

Three steps, and two of them are yours.

Open one of the messages
The buttons below open your own email app with the subject and the message already written. You fill in your website. Nothing is typed into this page and nothing is sent from it.
Send it from your own address
It has to be the address you want removed, or one at the same website. That is the whole check, and it is why there is no form here.
We take it out
The business drops out of the feed, the search and every export, and the website goes on a list that is checked before any lead is written. A later run cannot put it back.

Send it from the address you are asking about

We cannot act on a request about one address when it arrives from a different one. That is the only thing proving the request is yours. Without it, anybody could remove a business they simply did not like.

Send the email

Pick the one that fits. Each opens your email app with the message already written.

No email app on this device? Copy the address and write from any mail service. Tell us the website; the subject line can be anything.

After you send

What happens after

What we delete

Every address we hold for that business is deleted, and the business itself drops out of the feed, the search, the counts and every export. If somebody had already bought that contact, the copy stored in their account is blanked at the same time.

What we keep, and why

The website goes on a removal list, and the addresses go on it as a one way hash rather than as readable text. A list of real email addresses would be a marketing database of its own, which is the thing you just asked us not to have. There is no table of who asked: the record is the website and the date.

It holds through the next run

That list is checked before any lead is written, so a later run cannot put the business back into the product. It is a database rule rather than a promise, and it applies to every write, not only to the one that first found you.

What we hold in the first place

The website address, which comes from the public certificate logs. What the site itself says about the trade and the platform it runs on. The country, worked out from the ending of the website address first, and from what the site publishes when the ending says nothing, and left blank when neither is reliable. Any contact address printed on the site, usually a role address such as info@ or hello@. Nothing bought from a broker, and no personal profile.

One thing removal cannot undo

If somebody unlocked this business before you wrote, they may have saved their own copy already. We blank it in our records and in anything they export from us after that. We cannot reach into a spreadsheet that was saved before you asked.

That is the whole process. The email is three lines and you only fill in your website.
