Fandom, Inc. opt-out
fandom.com How to remove yourself from Fandom, Inc.
Fandom isn't a people-search site. Its opt-out is for the data it shares with third-party advertisers. Residents of the United States can use the Do Not Sell My Info page at fandom.com/do-not-sell-my-info, and Fandom offers it free of charge.
On average, Serus sends about 184 removal requests per person, 89% of them to data brokers, so expect Fandom, Inc. to be one of many.
