To opt out of Kaspr in 2026, submit a deletion request through Kaspr's official privacy portal at kaspr.privacy.saymine.io/kaspr or email privacy@kaspr.io with your full name, work and personal emails, phone numbers, and LinkedIn URL. Verify the follow-up email link Kaspr sends you and your data is suppressed within a few business days. The entire process takes under 5 minutes on your side.
What Is Kaspr?
Kaspr is a B2B contact-enrichment platform that operates primarily as a Chrome browser extension. When a Kaspr user visits a LinkedIn profile, the extension surfaces personal and professional contact details — including direct-dial phone numbers and personal emails — that are not visible on LinkedIn itself. Kaspr was acquired by Cognism and continues to operate as a distinct product aimed at SDRs, recruiters, and startup sales teams.
The types of data Kaspr collects and distributes include:
- Personal and professional email addresses
- Direct-dial phone numbers and mobile numbers
- Full name and current job title
- Company name and employment history
- LinkedIn profile URL and location
Kaspr sources its data from a combination of publicly available directories, third-party data partnerships, and community-contributed information from its own user base. Every time a Kaspr user "verifies" a phone number or email, that verification is fed back into the database and shown to other users — which is why the same number can reappear after removal if a user re-verifies it.
Why You Should Opt Out of Kaspr
Even if you are comfortable having a LinkedIn profile, Kaspr takes your exposure to a different level:
- It reveals hidden contact details: LinkedIn lets you control who sees your contact information. Kaspr bypasses that by pulling data from external sources and attaching it to your LinkedIn identity.
- Your personal phone number is exposed: Many professionals discover Kaspr has their personal mobile number, making them reachable by any Kaspr subscriber.
- Increased spam and cold outreach: Kaspr users can export your contact details straight into email campaigns and call lists with a single click.
- Regulatory scrutiny: While Kaspr states it complies with GDPR, enriching LinkedIn profiles with external data without explicit user consent remains controversial and has drawn repeated attention from EU data protection authorities.
How Kaspr Gets Your Data
Kaspr aggregates data from public business directories, company websites, licensed data partners, and community contributions from its user base. When Kaspr users verify a phone number or email, that verification improves data accuracy for every other user — which is why the same number can reappear after removal if any user re-verifies it from an external source.
How to Opt Out of Kaspr: Step-by-Step
Step 1: Choose Your Opt-Out Method
Kaspr accepts two verified opt-out channels in 2026:
- Privacy portal (recommended): kaspr.privacy.saymine.io/kaspr — Kaspr's official self-service data rights portal, powered by MineOS.
- Email: privacy@kaspr.io — best for a documented paper trail if you plan to escalate.
Use the portal if you want an automated confirmation. Use email if you want a permanent record for a follow-up complaint.
Step 2: Submit Through the Kaspr Privacy Portal
- Visit kaspr.privacy.saymine.io/kaspr.
- Select "Delete my data".
- Enter your full name, all email addresses (personal and professional), phone number(s), and your LinkedIn profile URL.
- Check the authentication box and click Submit.
- Open the email Kaspr sends and click "Confirm my email address" to verify the request.
Step 3: Or Email privacy@kaspr.io With the Required Details
If you prefer email, compose a message to privacy@kaspr.io:
- Subject line: "Data Deletion Request — Kaspr Opt-Out".
- Body: include your full legal name, all associated email addresses, phone number(s), and the URL of your LinkedIn profile.
- Explicitly request deletion of your record and inclusion on a permanent do-not-collect suppression list.
- Cite your rights under GDPR Article 17 (right to erasure) if you are in the EU or UK, or CCPA Section 1798.105 if you are in California.
Step 4: Save Confirmation and Wait
Kaspr's privacy portal returns confirmation that your email has been successfully removed and notifies all Kaspr users to delete your saved contact from their dashboards. Most users see full suppression within a few business days. Save every confirmation — you will need them if you have to escalate.
Step 5: Verify With a Colleague
After roughly one week, ask a trusted colleague who uses Kaspr to check whether your contact details still appear in the extension widget when they view your LinkedIn profile. If your data is still visible, resend the request through the portal referencing your original submission date.
Keep a Record of Your Request
Save a copy of your opt-out submission and every confirmation email Kaspr sends. If Kaspr fails to process your request within 30 days, you may need this documentation to file a complaint with a data protection authority — especially the CNIL (France, where Kaspr is headquartered) or the ICO (UK).

What Happens After You Opt Out
Once Kaspr processes your opt-out:
- Your data is removed from the active Kaspr database.
- Your information no longer appears in the Kaspr browser extension widget when someone views your LinkedIn profile.
- Every Kaspr user is notified of your opt-out and prompted to remove your email and phone number from their saved contacts.
- You are placed on a suppression list to prevent your data from being re-added — though a Kaspr user who "verifies" your details from an external source could re-inject them, which is why periodic re-checks matter.
Reduce Your Exposure on LinkedIn
Since Kaspr enriches data linked to LinkedIn profiles, reducing your LinkedIn footprint limits how easily it can rebuild your record:
- Review your LinkedIn privacy settings and limit who can see your email address and phone number.
- Remove your phone number from LinkedIn's contact info section entirely.
- Use a role-specific work email rather than your personal address on your profile.
- Turn off "Visible to third-party services" in LinkedIn's data privacy settings.
- Adjust profile visibility to limit what appears to people outside your network.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to opt out of Kaspr?
Submitting the request takes about 5 minutes via either the privacy portal or email. Kaspr suppresses verified records shortly after the email confirmation step — most users report full removal within a few business days.
Is Kaspr GDPR compliant?
Kaspr publicly states it follows GDPR principles and honors data subject rights, including erasure. That said, the LinkedIn-enrichment model has repeatedly drawn EU regulatory scrutiny. If you are in the EU or UK and Kaspr does not respond within 30 days, escalate to CNIL (France) or your national data protection authority.
Can I opt out of Kaspr without an email address?
No. Kaspr requires an email address so it can verify the request is legitimate — this prevents malicious opt-outs against third parties. Use the same email you list on LinkedIn so Kaspr can locate your record.
Will Kaspr re-add my information after I opt out?
Kaspr places you on a suppression list, but the community-verification model means a Kaspr user who verifies your details from an external source can technically re-inject them. Re-check your listing every 90 days, or use a service like PrivacyOn that monitors continuously and re-submits removals automatically.
Does opting out of Kaspr also remove me from Cognism?
No. Cognism and Kaspr are separate products with separate databases despite the corporate relationship. To remove yourself from both, submit an independent opt-out to Cognism at privacy@cognism.com.
What other B2B data brokers should I opt out of?
The largest LinkedIn-adjacent B2B brokers are Cognism, Lusha, ZoomInfo, Apollo.io, RocketReach, Hunter.io, Seamless.ai, and UpLead. Each maintains a separate database and requires a separate opt-out. PrivacyOn automates removals across 100+ brokers, including all of the above.
