How to remove yourself from Findem
Findem sells recruiting software, so you won't find it in a name search like a people-search site. Its privacy rights page has a form to get your information updated or removed from its Talent Data Cloud, and privacy@findem.ai is the contact it gives California regulators.
On average, Serus sends about 184 removal requests per person, 89% of them to data brokers, so expect Findem to be one of many.

How to opt out of Findem
- 1
Open the privacy rights page
Go to findem.ai/do-not-sell-or-share-my-personal-information. Findem says the form is for having your personal information "updated or removed from Findem's data lake in the Talent Data Cloud."
- 2
Submit the form
Add a note in the comments field that you want removal, not an update.
- 3
Wait
Findem says your data "will be updated or removed from Findem's platform once the request has been processed." It gives no number of days on that page.
- 4
Email if the form fails
Write to privacy@findem.ai, the privacy contact in Findem's California registry entry.
Watch out for
- The form handles updates and removals alike, so the comments field matters.
- Findem has no say over other recruiting databases that hold the same profile details.

Does it come back?

Frequently asked
Is Findem a people-search site?
No. It sells talent search software to recruiters and calls its data a Talent Data Cloud.
Can I email instead of using the form?
Findem lists privacy@findem.ai as its privacy contact in the California registry, so that address is the one to try.
How long does removal take?
Findem says only that it acts once the request has been processed.
