What Disqus tells the state it does with your data

Every data broker operating in California must file an annual registration under the Delete Act. These are that broker's own answers.

  • gender identity and expression
  • precise geolocation

57%
denied outright

Worth knowing: Disqus denied roughly 57% of the deletion requests it received. A courtesy opt-out form is unlikely to be enough here — this is a broker where a statutory demand citing your state’s privacy law, with a response deadline attached, does the work.

How we do it

Our route for Disqus

We file the strongest instrument available for your state, not whichever form is easiest.

  1. California residents
    A DROP filing through the state platform. Disqus is legally required to check it every 45 days and delete you — no form, no confirmation email, no discretion.
  2. The other 19 states with privacy laws
    A statutory deletion demand citing your state's own act, with the response deadline stated on its face.
  3. Everyone
    A written deletion request to the privacy contact on their state filing.
  4. Then, forever
    Re-verification at 7, 30 and 90 days, then every 45 days. If your listing reappears, we refile and tell you.

Brokers buy from each other. Removing yourself from one rarely removes you from the next.
