What RocketReach is
RocketReach is a business-contact data provider (RocketReach, United States). Services of this type typically compile professional contact records — name, work email, phone number, job title, employer and public profile links — from public web sources and data partners, and make them available to customers such as sales and recruiting teams.

Step by step
- 01
Prepare your details
Note the email addresses and name the company may know you by. Do not send identity documents unless the company asks and explains why (Art. 12(6) GDPR).
- 02
Send the request
Use the form or the email address above. The monthly plan can send the request for you. Keep a copy and the date: it starts the clock.
- 03
Wait up to one month
The company must reply without undue delay and within one month (Art. 12(3) GDPR). For complex or numerous requests it can extend that by up to two further months, but it must tell you within the first month.
- 04
Follow up if needed
If there is no answer, send a short reminder quoting the date of your first request and ask for written confirmation that the erasure is complete.
- 05
Complain to the supervisory authority
If the company refuses without a valid reason or stays silent, you may lodge a complaint (Art. 77 GDPR) with the authority in the country where you live or work, or where the problem occurred.
Ready-to-send letter
The letter to RocketReach is part of the GDPR kit
The GDPR kit fills in your details, writes the Art. 15 access, Art. 17 erasure and Art. 21 objection requests for RocketReach in English or Italian and, after you approve, sends them for you and tracks the one-month deadline.
Where to complain
For RocketReach, which is based in United States, use the authority in your own country. The EDPB publishes the list of all EU and EEA authorities:

What to expect
- Business-data providers usually offer a separate “remove my profile” or opt-out form in addition to the privacy email. Use both when you can: the form removes the profile quickly, and the written request also covers erasure, access and the list of recipients. Profiles are often rebuilt from public sources, so ask for a suppression record.
Do it for every broker in a few clicks
The GDPR kit in the monthly plan takes your details once, writes the requests for every company in the directory in English or Italian, sends them for you after you approve and reminds you when a deadline passes.

Frequently asked questions
Do I have to pay RocketReach to delete my data?
No. Under Art. 12(5) GDPR the request is free of charge. A company can only charge a reasonable fee, or refuse, if requests are manifestly unfounded or excessive.
How long does RocketReach have to reply?
One month from receiving your request (Art. 12(3) GDPR). The period can be extended by up to two further months for complex or numerous requests, but the company must tell you why within the first month.
What if RocketReach refuses or does not answer?
Send a short reminder quoting the date of your first request. If you still get no valid answer, you can complain to a supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR), usually the one in your own country, and you may seek a judicial remedy (Art. 79 GDPR).
Should I use the email address or the web form for RocketReach?
Either works. Use the web form for the fastest handling and send the letter to the published privacy address as a dated record.
