The short version

Submit Data Subject Request via the legal portal. Email [email protected] for general inquiries.

Step-by-step

  1. Go to the opt-out page: https://legal.epsilon.com/dsr
  2. Find your record. Epsilon indexes by name, address, and phone. Try variants — maiden name, middle initial, former address — if your first search misses.
  3. Submit the removal request. Submit Data Subject Request via the legal portal. Email [email protected] for general inquiries.
  4. Complete the CAPTCHA. Most automated removal services cannot bypass this step — they use human operators. You will need to solve it yourself.
  5. Check your email and click the verification link. Removal does not start until you verify. The link typically expires within 24 hours.
  6. Wait the processing time. 15 minutes; 30 days processing.
  7. Verify removal. Search yourself on Epsilon after the processing window. If you still appear, the request may have failed silently — resubmit.

What to watch for

Epsilon (Publicis) is a major marketing data broker. Their data feeds direct-mail, email-marketing, and digital-advertising campaigns across thousands of brands.

Repopulation: Wholesale marketing data — recurs when you appear in new data sources Plan to re-check every 90 days, and resubmit if your record reappears.

Why this matters

Epsilon is one of 97+ data brokers actively publishing personal information about US adults. Most people are listed across 50 to 100 brokers. Removing yourself from one site is a meaningful start — but the information is repeatedly re-indexed from public records, voter rolls, and other brokers. Sustained suppression requires repeating the process every 60 to 90 days.

The honest tradeoff

You can do this yourself in 10–15 minutes per broker. Across 97 brokers, that's roughly 20 hours of work, repeated quarterly — about 80 hours per year. Most people do the first few removals, then stop.

The alternative is an automated service. Yew is one — built specifically for high-net-worth individuals and families who value being unfindable.

Or let Yew handle this — and 96 others.

Yew is an autonomous privacy agent that removes you from Epsilon and 96 other data brokers — and re-runs the entire sequence every quarter, forever. Built for people who would rather not be findable.
