To opt out of Kaspr, email privacy@kaspr.io with the subject "Data Deletion Request" and your full name, work and personal email addresses, phone number, and LinkedIn URL — or submit the same request through Kaspr's privacy portal at kaspr.privacy.saymine.io/kaspr. Kaspr states it removes verified records as soon as possible and notifies all users to delete your saved contacts. The whole process takes under 5 minutes on your side.
What Is Kaspr?
Kaspr is a B2B data enrichment platform that operates primarily as a Chrome browser extension. When a Kaspr user visits a LinkedIn profile, the extension instantly reveals personal and professional contact details — including phone numbers and email addresses — that are not publicly visible on LinkedIn itself. Kaspr was acquired by Cognism and continues to operate as a distinct product primarily 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 details
- LinkedIn profile information
- Location data
Kaspr sources its data from a combination of publicly available information, third-party data providers, and community-contributed information from its user base — meaning every time a Kaspr user "verifies" a phone number or email address, that verification can be used to update records shown to other users.
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 what contact information is visible on your profile. Kaspr bypasses this by pulling data from other sources and attaching it to your LinkedIn identity.
- Your personal phone number is exposed: Many professionals are shocked to discover Kaspr has their personal mobile number, making them reachable by anyone with a Kaspr subscription.
- Increased spam and cold outreach: Kaspr users can export your contact details and add them to email campaigns and call lists with a single click.
- GDPR concerns: While Kaspr claims GDPR compliance, the practice of enriching LinkedIn profiles with external data without explicit user consent remains controversial among privacy advocates and has drawn scrutiny from EU regulators.
How Kaspr Gets Your Data
Kaspr aggregates data from publicly available business directories, company websites, data partnerships, and community-contributed information from its user base. When Kaspr users verify a phone number or email, that verification is used to improve data accuracy for other users — which is why the same number can reappear even after removal if a user re-verifies it.
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:
- Email: privacy@kaspr.io — fastest for a documented paper trail.
- Privacy portal: kaspr.privacy.saymine.io/kaspr — Kaspr's official self-service data rights portal, powered by MineOS.
Use the portal if you want an automated confirmation. Use email if you want a permanent record for a follow-up complaint.
Step 2: Email privacy@kaspr.io With the Required Details
Compose an email to privacy@kaspr.io:
- Subject line: "Data Deletion Request — Kaspr Opt-Out".
- Body: include your full legal name, all email addresses associated with you (personal and professional), phone number(s), and the URL of your LinkedIn profile.
- Explicitly request deletion of your record from the Kaspr database 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 3: Or Submit Through the Kaspr Privacy Portal
- Visit kaspr.privacy.saymine.io/kaspr.
- Select "Delete my data".
- Enter the same identifying information (name, emails, phone, LinkedIn URL).
- Complete the email verification link Kaspr sends you.
Step 4: Save Confirmation and Wait
Kaspr states it processes verified requests as soon as possible after receipt. You should receive an automated confirmation immediately and a follow-up notification once your data is suppressed. Save both — 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, send a follow-up email to privacy@kaspr.io referencing your original request date.
Keep a Record of Your Request
Always save a copy of your opt-out email and any confirmation you receive. If Kaspr fails to process your request within a reasonable timeframe, 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 request:
- Your data is removed from the Kaspr database — Kaspr states this happens as soon as possible after receipt.
- Your information no longer appears in the Kaspr browser extension widget when someone views your LinkedIn profile.
- All Kaspr users are notified of your opt-out and asked to remove your email addresses and phone numbers 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 still re-inject them, so periodic re-checks are wise.
Reduce Your Exposure on LinkedIn
Since Kaspr enriches data linked to LinkedIn profiles, reducing your LinkedIn exposure 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 your LinkedIn contact info section entirely.
- Consider whether you need to list your personal email on LinkedIn — a role-specific work email is safer.
- Turn off "Visible to third-party services" in LinkedIn's data privacy settings.
- Adjust your profile visibility to limit how much information is available to people outside your network.
Automate Your Data Broker Opt-Outs With PrivacyOn
Kaspr is one of many B2B data brokers that collect and sell your professional information — others include Cognism (Kaspr's parent company), Lusha, Hunter.io, Apollo.io, RocketReach, and ZoomInfo. Each requires a separate opt-out process, and each may re-add your data over time as your LinkedIn activity or company profile changes.
PrivacyOn simplifies the entire process by continuously monitoring over 100 data broker sites and automatically submitting removal requests on your behalf. With 24/7 monitoring, dark web scanning, and family plans covering up to 5 people, PrivacyOn keeps your data protected without the manual effort. Plans start at $8.33/month — a fraction of the time cost of managing opt-outs yourself.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to opt out of Kaspr?
Submitting the request takes about 5 minutes via either email or the privacy portal. Kaspr states it removes verified records as soon as possible after receipt — most users report suppression within a few business days.
Is Kaspr GDPR compliant?
Kaspr publicly states it follows GDPR principles and honors data subject rights, including erasure requests. 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 to verify that the deletion request is legitimate — this prevents malicious opt-outs against third parties. Use the same email address you have on LinkedIn to ensure 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-contributed 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 fully remove yourself from both, submit a separate 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.
