Data broker registry
A public, state-maintained list of data brokers legally operating in that state.
In more detail
Four states require registration and publish the list: California, Vermont, Texas and Oregon. California's is the most detailed — registrants must disclose which sensitive categories they collect, who they sold data to, and how many deletion requests they received, complied with and denied.
Why it matters to you
It is the only authoritative, non-marketing source of information about this industry. Every claim on our broker pages about what a company collects or sells comes from its own filing.
What to do
Look up who is registered in your state and hold them to the contact details they filed.
- Data broker
A company that collects personal information about people it has no relationship with, and sells it.
- California Delete Act
The California law that created a single deletion request reaching every registered data broker.
