How to remove yourself from Apollo.io
Apollo.io (apollo.io) is a sales and recruiting company. Sales databases build profiles of working people from LinkedIn, company websites and email signatures, then sell your work email and phone number to salespeople and recruiters. That is a big source of cold calls and spam. Under GDPR they have to delete your data for free when you ask. HenryProtect handles that entirely for you, together with dozens of other companies, and keeps checking every week.
We do this for you. You don't have to do anything.
- Autopilot sends the request to Apollo.io, plus dozens of other data brokers that likely hold your data.
- We send the reminders, handle the replies and keep track of the one-month deadline.
- We rescan you every week. If your data comes back, we send a new request.
- All you do is enter your name, confirm your email and give us permission. Free during the beta.
What Apollo.io may hold about you: email address, phone number and job title and employer.
Where to send the request: privacy@apollo.io.
Contact checked on 6 November 2026 against Apollo.io's privacy policy and the datarequests.org register.
Prefer to do it yourself?
You can. It takes about five minutes for Apollo.io, plus the follow-ups if they don't answer.
- Fill in your name and email below. Use the email Apollo.io most likely has, such as your work email.
- Click Open in my email. The letter is ready, addressed to privacy@apollo.io.
- Keep your sent email. Apollo.io must answer within one month.
- If they ask for a copy of your passport, you usually don't need to send one. Give only what they need to find you, and black out your ID number and photo.
- No answer after a month? Send a reminder, then complain to your data protection authority if needed.
Your letter
We do all the work for you, free
Enter your name and we find where your data shows up. Autopilot then sends the removal requests in your name, chases companies that don't answer, handles their replies and rescans you every week. You don't have to do a thing.
Questions
Can HenryProtect do this for me?
Yes, that's exactly what we do. Autopilot sends the request to Apollo.io and other data brokers in your name, follows up and rescans every week. You only enter your name and confirm your email.
Is it free to remove myself from Apollo.io?
Yes. Under GDPR, Apollo.io has to handle an erasure request free of charge.
How long does it take?
Companies must answer within one month (Article 12(3) GDPR). For complex requests they can extend by two more months, but they have to tell you within the first month.
What if Apollo.io doesn't answer?
Send a reminder after a month. If they still stay silent, you can complain to your data protection authority, for example the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens in the Netherlands or the ICO in the UK.
Can Apollo.io add my data again later?
It can happen, because these companies keep collecting from new sources. That's why the letter also objects to further processing (Article 21). HenryProtect rescans every week and sends a new request if needed.
