Civis opt-out
civisanalytics.com How to remove yourself from Civis
Also known as Civis Analytics
Civis Analytics takes requests only through its Data Subject Request Form, or by phone at 877-788-5865 for California. It says requests sent any other way aren't processed. Civis aims to respond within 45 days, and reported a median of 7 days in California for 2025.
On average, Serus sends about 184 removal requests per person, 89% of them to data brokers, so expect Civis to be one of many.

- Don't email your request. Civis says requests through other channels won't be processed, and the email on the notice is for questions.

Does it come back?

Your rights
California: CCPA. If you live in California, the CCPA lets you ask a business to delete the personal information it holds about you and to stop selling or sharing it. Businesses generally have 45 days to respond.
California: the Delete Act. Data brokers that hold information on Californians must register with the state. California residents can use DROP, the state's Delete Request and Opt-out Platform, to send one deletion request to every registered broker at once.
Other US states. Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Texas, Oregon and a growing list of other states give residents a similar right to delete. Vermont, Texas and Oregon also make data brokers register with the state. Where no state law applies, the broker's own opt-out above still works for most people.
