To opt out of Kaspr, submit a deletion request at kaspr.privacy.saymine.io/kaspr or email privacy@kaspr.io with the subject line "Opt-out Kaspr". Include your name, work and personal emails, phone numbers, and LinkedIn URL, then click Kaspr's verification link. Suppression typically lands within a few business days.
What Is Kaspr?
Kaspr is a B2B contact-enrichment platform that runs mainly as a Chrome browser extension. When a Kaspr user opens a LinkedIn profile, the extension surfaces contact details that are not visible on LinkedIn itself — direct-dial phone numbers, mobile numbers, and personal email addresses. Kaspr is owned by Cognism and still operates as its own product with its own database, aimed at sales development reps, recruiters, and startup sales teams.
The data Kaspr collects and redistributes includes:
- Personal and professional email addresses
- Direct-dial and mobile phone numbers
- Full name and current job title
- Company name and employment history
- LinkedIn profile URL and location
Kaspr builds these records from public business directories, licensed third-party data partnerships, and contributions from its own user base. Every time a Kaspr subscriber "verifies" a phone number or email, that verification is fed back into the shared database — which is exactly why the same number can reappear after a removal.
Why You Should Opt Out of Kaspr
Even if you are comfortable having a public LinkedIn profile, Kaspr changes your exposure in ways LinkedIn's own settings cannot reach:
- It surfaces contact details you deliberately hid. LinkedIn lets you control who sees your email and phone. Kaspr pulls those details from outside sources and re-attaches them to your LinkedIn identity.
- Your personal mobile is often in there. Many professionals find their private cell number in Kaspr, making them reachable by any paying subscriber.
- One click puts you in a campaign. Kaspr users can export your details straight into cold-email sequences and auto-dialer lists.
- Regulatory pressure is real. Kaspr states it complies with GDPR, but enriching LinkedIn profiles with externally sourced personal data continues to draw scrutiny from EU data protection authorities.
How Kaspr Gets Your Data
Kaspr aggregates public business directories, company websites, licensed data partners, and community contributions from subscribers. Because subscriber verifications flow back into the shared database, a single user confirming your number from an external source can re-inject a record you already removed. That is the single most important thing to understand before you opt out.
How to Opt Out of Kaspr: Step-by-Step
Step 1: Choose Your Opt-Out Route
Kaspr documents two working channels in 2026:
- Privacy portal (fastest): kaspr.privacy.saymine.io/kaspr — Kaspr's official self-service data rights portal, powered by MineOS.
- Email: privacy@kaspr.io — slower, but it gives you a timestamped paper trail if you later need to escalate.
Use the portal if you want an automated confirmation screen. Use email if you want documentary evidence for a regulator complaint.
Step 2: Submit Through the Kaspr Privacy Portal
- Visit kaspr.privacy.saymine.io/kaspr.
- Select "Delete my data".
- Enter your full name, every email address you use (personal and work), your phone number(s), and your LinkedIn profile URL.
- Tick the authentication box and click Submit.
- Open the email Kaspr sends and click "Confirm my email address". The request is not processed until you do this.
You should see an on-screen confirmation that your email has been removed from Kaspr and that Kaspr users have been asked to delete your saved contact.
Step 3: Or Email privacy@kaspr.io
If you prefer the documented route, send a message to privacy@kaspr.io:
- Subject line: Opt-out Kaspr (this is the wording Kaspr's own help centre asks for).
- Body: your full legal name, all associated email addresses, phone number(s), and your LinkedIn profile URL.
- Request deletion of your record and placement on a permanent do-not-collect suppression list.
- Cite GDPR Article 17 (right to erasure) if you are in the EU or UK, or California Civil Code § 1798.105 if you are a California resident.
Step 4: Opt Out of Cognism Separately
Kaspr's removal does not cover Cognism, its parent company, which maintains a separate database. Send a second request to privacy@cognism.com with the same details, or use Cognism's own data rights form. Skipping this step is the most common reason people think their Kaspr opt-out "did not work" — their number is still circulating, just from a sibling database.
Step 5: Verify With a Colleague, Then Re-Check Quarterly
After about a week, ask a colleague who subscribes to Kaspr to open your LinkedIn profile and check whether the extension widget still shows your details. If it does, resubmit through the portal and reference your original submission date. Because of the verification loop described above, re-check roughly every 90 days.
Keep Every Confirmation
Save your submission and all confirmation emails. If Kaspr has not acted within 30 days, you will need that record to complain to a regulator — the CNIL in France, where Kaspr is headquartered, or the ICO in the UK. Without a timestamped request, an authority has nothing to act on.
What Happens After You Opt Out
- Your record is removed from the active Kaspr database.
- Your details stop appearing in the Kaspr extension widget on your LinkedIn profile.
- Kaspr users are notified and prompted to delete your email and phone from their saved contacts.
- You are added to a suppression list — but a subscriber who verifies your details from an outside source can still re-introduce them, so the suppression is not permanent in practice.

Shrink Your LinkedIn Footprint
Kaspr enriches data tied to LinkedIn profiles, so tightening LinkedIn makes you harder to rebuild:
- Remove your phone number from LinkedIn's contact info section entirely.
- Limit who can see your email address to first-degree connections.
- Use a role-based work address (not your personal one) on your profile.
- Turn off "Visible to third-party services" under LinkedIn's data privacy settings.
- Restrict public profile visibility so non-logged-in scrapers see less.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to opt out of Kaspr?
Submitting takes under five minutes through either the privacy portal or email. Kaspr suppresses the record shortly after you click the email verification link — most people see their details disappear from the extension within a few business days.
Is Kaspr GDPR compliant?
Kaspr states that it follows GDPR and honours data subject rights including erasure. The LinkedIn-enrichment model itself remains contested in the EU. If Kaspr does not respond within 30 days, escalate to the CNIL in France (its home regulator) or your own national data protection authority.
Can I opt out of Kaspr without giving an email address?
No. Kaspr requires an email so it can verify the request came from you rather than someone trying to remove a third party. Use the address that appears on your LinkedIn profile so Kaspr can match your record.
Will Kaspr re-add my information after I opt out?
It can. You are added to a suppression list, but Kaspr's community-verification model means any subscriber who confirms your number from an external source may re-inject it. Re-check every 90 days, or let PrivacyOn monitor and re-submit automatically.
Does opting out of Kaspr also remove me from Cognism?
No. Cognism owns Kaspr but runs a separate database, and the two opt-outs are processed independently. Email privacy@cognism.com separately or you will remain listed in Cognism.
Which other B2B data brokers should I opt out of?
The largest LinkedIn-adjacent enrichers are Cognism, Lusha, ZoomInfo, Apollo.io, RocketReach, Hunter.io, Seamless.ai, and UpLead. Each needs its own request. PrivacyOn automates removals across 100+ brokers, including every one of those.
