CoreLogic Opt Out & Data Removal Guide
CoreLogic is one of those data brokers that works out of sight of consumers, collecting, analyzing, and dealing in property data on a business-to-business basis. Unfortunately, they only give you the option to opt out if you’re a resident of California and you have some kind of business relationship with the company.
Although the requirements that make you eligible to opt out are quite stringent, the data removal process itself has been simplified. Our guide will take you through the steps.

FAQ
What is CoreLogic?
CoreLogic is a merged credit report provider that focuses on the mortgage industry by providing credit reports to mortgage lenders. It boasts being able to draw on 5.5+ billion property records spanning 50+ years and sourcing and updating 1+ billion property records annually.
How long does it take CoreLogic to process my opt-out request?
CoreLogic doesn’t commit to a time frame when it comes to permanently opting out of its prescreen lists. It does start counting the five-year temporary opt-out period from five business days after receiving your opt-out request, though.
What else can I do to keep track of what CoreLogic does with my information?
CoreLogic claims partial exemption from the CCPA, so even California residents may have trouble opting out. However, you have the right to know what information they collect on you and access it twice in a 12-month period. You can contact CoreLogic, toll-free, at 1-800-634-4149 to request access.
How does CoreLogic get my data?
CoreLogic crawls and scrapes 5.5+ billion property records spanning 50+ years as well as other public records to get your data. You can get some of these public records suppressed, but most are there to stay.
Data brokers like CoreLogic are often tight-lipped about exactly how they source your data. Most get at least some of your data from public sources, but many draw upon private databases from other data brokers.
We recommend opting out of as many data brokers as possible to protect your data privacy. This may also weaken CoreLogic’s ability to profile you.
Can CoreLogic add my information again, even after they approve my opt-out request?
It’s possible that CoreLogic could add your information again after you successfully opt out. Given the nature of the information they have on you (including your Social Security number), this is unlikely, but it can happen with any data broker.
The chances of being re-added to CoreLogic’s prescreen lists go up when you change your name or address. You can submit an opt-out request once a year—we recommend doing so to ensure your data stays off their lists.
What other companies have my private data?
Unfortunately, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer to your question. There are an estimated 4,000 data brokers operating around the world. These data brokers are varying levels of shadowy and although a quick web search for your name will reveal many of them, most prefer to stay behind the scenes.
To narrow down the search for those data brokers that have your data but aren’t advertising the fact online, research data brokers known to operate in your area. This will leave you with a short(er) list that you can work through, sending opt-out requests blind.
Or try a subscription to Incogni. We send out dozens of data removal requests at a time and deal with any follow-up interactions with data brokers on your behalf.
Does CoreLogic have the right to use my data?
CoreLogic does have the legal right to use your data. It claims to be partially exempt from the CCPA, but that means it’s still at least partially bound by this and similar laws. Privacy protection laws like this give you the right to opt out of the data-collection and trading practices of companies like CoreLogic.
Who can opt out of CoreLogic?
Unfortunately, CoreLogic only give you the option to opt out if you’re a resident of California and you have some kind of business relationship with the company.
This applies if you are a:
Current CoreLogic employee
Former CoreLogic employee
CoreLogic applicant
Vendor (including an employee of a vendor)
Contractor
Current user/client
Former user/client
Prospective user/client
Other business partner
Legal representative of someone else who is eligible to opt out.
