To opt out of RocketReach, follow our RocketReach opt-out guide below. 

RocketReach is a B2B data broker that has profiles on 700 million professionals. 

The information within these profiles is scraped from online sources (for example, LinkedIn) and includes details like your full name, job title, company name, work and personal emails, skills, and social media links. 

Having your data available on data brokers like RocketReach can increase the amount of spam you receive and put you at a higher risk of social engineering attacks. We know from leaked chat logs that cybercriminal groups use B2B data brokers to find targets for phishing attacks and people to “name drop” in social engineering campaigns. 

Use our step-by-step guide below to opt out of RocketReach.
