How to Opt Out of Wiza

Wiza is a B2B prospecting tool that extracts contact information directly from LinkedIn and Sales Navigator. Registered as a data broker with the State of California, Wiza collects names, email addresses, phone numbers, job titles, and employer details — then sells access to sales teams. If you've ever had a LinkedIn profile, there's a good chance Wiza has your data.

What Information Does Wiza Collect?

Wiza pulls data from LinkedIn profiles and cross-references it with other sources to build verified contact records. The data it may have on you includes:

• Full name and professional headline
• Personal and work email addresses
• Cell phone and direct-dial phone numbers
• Current employer and job title
• Employment history
• LinkedIn profile URL
• Location and geographic data

This information is then packaged and made available to Wiza's paying customers — sales teams, recruiters, and marketers — who use it for cold outreach and lead generation.

How to Opt Out of Wiza: Step-by-Step

Wiza provides two official ways to request removal of your data. Here's how to use each one:

Method 1: Use the Contact Information Opt-Out Form

1. Visit the opt-out page: Go to wiza.co/optout-contact-info
2. Enter your details: Provide the name and email address associated with your data in Wiza's system.
3. Submit the form: Click the submit button to send your removal request.
4. Wait for processing: Wiza states that requests are processed and your contact information is removed from their records used for sales and marketing purposes.

Method 2: Use the Directory Removal Form

1. Visit the directory opt-out page: Navigate to wiza.co/optout-directory
2. Enter your information: Fill in the required fields to identify your listing.
3. Submit: After submitting, allow up to 72 hours for your name to be removed from the website directory.

Method 3: Email Request

You can also send a removal request directly by emailing privacy@wiza.co. Include your full name, email address, and a clear statement requesting deletion of your personal data under your applicable privacy rights (CCPA, GDPR, or other relevant law).

What to Include in Your Removal Request

To ensure Wiza can locate and remove all of your records, include:

• Your full legal name (and any variations you've used professionally)
• All email addresses that may be associated with your profile
• Your phone number(s)
• Your LinkedIn profile URL
• A statement requesting data deletion under CCPA or GDPR

Verify Your Removal

After submitting your opt-out request, take these steps to confirm your data has been removed:

• Wait at least 72 hours after submitting your request
• Ask a colleague or friend with a Wiza account to search for your name
• Check whether you continue to receive unsolicited sales emails that reference Wiza as a data source
• If your data still appears, follow up with privacy@wiza.co citing your original request

Important Limitations

There are a few things Wiza cannot control after removing your data:

• Cached data: Wiza customers who previously exported your contact information will still have it in their CRM systems. Wiza's removal only prevents future distribution.
• Search engine results: Wiza has no control over how Google and other search engines index or display information.
• Re-collection: If your LinkedIn profile remains public, Wiza or similar tools may re-collect your data in the future.

Protect Yourself Long-Term

Opting out of Wiza is an important step, but it's just one of dozens of data brokers that may have your information. Wiza is part of a larger ecosystem of B2B data providers — including ZoomInfo, Lusha, RocketReach, Apollo, and many others — that scrape and sell professional contact data.

Manually opting out of each one takes hours, and your data often reappears within weeks. PrivacyOn automates this process across 100+ data broker sites, continuously monitoring for re-listings and submitting new removal requests automatically. It's the most efficient way to keep your personal and professional information off these platforms for good.
