Shortlyst opt-out
shortlyst.ai How to remove yourself from Shortlyst
Shortlyst is an AI recruiting tool that looks up people's emails and phone numbers. Its Opt Out page takes a removal request, and Shortlyst emails a confirmation to your verified address once the opt-out is done.
On average, Serus sends about 184 removal requests per person, 89% of them to data brokers, so expect Shortlyst to be one of many.
