The following instructions are provided to assist you or your authorized agent in making your request to Acxiom.
1 /Requests to Opt-Out
You have the right to request that a covered business not sell your personal information to third parties. To take advantage of your right to opt out, click here. Acxiom will generally accept opt-out requests from consumers without the need for identity verification.
You can also submit your request by mail or telephone. Our telephone number is 1-877-774-2094. Our mailing address is:

“Authorized agents” may submit opt out requests on a consumer’s behalf. The authorized agent may do so through our online consumer portal found here. Before Acxiom will accept requests from an authorized agent, the authorized agent must provide certain information described here.
2 /Identity Verification – Minimum Requirements
Prior to Acxiom’s fulfillment of a “right to know” or “right to delete” request from a consumer as described, below, Acxiom will require a consumer first verify their identity using a third-party identity verification service at no cost to the consumer.
Acxiom’s Online Consumer Portal
For all “right to know” and “right to delete” requests submitted by a consumer through Acxiom’s online consumer portal, the following information will be required:
- First, Middle (if available), and Last Name
- Physical California address
- Date of birth
- Valid email address
Telephone Requests
For all “right to know” access and “right to delete” requests submitted through Acxiom’s toll-free telephone number, consumers will be required to provide the following information:
- First, Middle (if available), and Last Name
- Physical California address
- Date of birth
- Valid telephone number
- Valid email address (if available)
For “right to know” access and “right to delete” requests submitted through Acxiom’s toll-free telephone number, an Acxiom associate will call you to administer an identity authentication test to verify your identity.
If Acxiom is unable to successfully verify your identity, we will be unable to fulfill your requests to know or for deletion. If we are unable to verify your identity, you will be notified and directed to see Acxiom’s privacy notice concerning our data collection, sale, and disclosure practices described here. If you have made a deletion request and we are unable to verify your identity, you may still submit an opt-out request. To take advantage of your right to opt out, click here.
3 /Requests to Know
You have the right to request that Acxiom disclose what personal information we collect, use, disclose, and sell about you. We call this your “right to know.” To take advantage of your right to know, you may submit a request using our online consumer portal found here.
Upon successful identity verification as described above, Acxiom will provide you with a Consumer Access Report that describes the personal information Acxiom has collected, sold and/or disclosed about you in the last year. Under the CCPA, consumers may request a Consumer Access Report two times in any one-year period. For requests to know received through an authorized agent, Acxiom will return the Consumer Access Report directly to the consumer.
You can also submit your request for a Consumer Access Report by mail or telephone. Our telephone number is 1-877-774-2094. Our mailing address is:

With certain exceptions, you have the right to request the deletion of your personal information Acxiom has collected about you. To take advantage of your right to request deletion, you may submit a request using our online consumer portal found here.
You can also submit your request for deletion by mail or telephone. Our telephone number is 1-877-774-2094. Our mailing address is:

5 /Requirements for Use of Authorized Agents
The CCPA allows California consumers to use “authorized agents” to submit requests to Acxiom on their behalf. If you have elected to use an authorized agent, or if you are an authorized agent who would like to submit requests on behalf of a consumer, the following procedures will be required prior to acceptance of any requests by an authorized agent on behalf of a California consumer. In addition, Acxiom will accept requests from qualified third parties on behalf of other consumers, regardless of either the consumer or the authorized agent’s state of residence, provided that the third party successfully completes the qualification procedures described below.
For the safety and security of the consumer’s information, “requests to delete” and “right to know” requests submitted to Acxiom by an authorized agent will require a direct method of communication with the consumer, preferably a valid email address, to fulfill the request.
All requests from qualified authorized agents may be submitted using our online consumer portal found here.
Agent Authorization Verification
In order to qualify as an authorized agent, businesses or individuals will be required to submit the following documentation:
Businesses – if you are operating as a business, the following documentation is required:
- Certificate of good standing with your state of organization;
- Written authorization document that includes each consumer’s name, address, telephone number and valid email address, signed and dated by each consumer authorizing you, as the authorized agent, to act on behalf of each consumer in making the request, (*Proof of written consumer authorization for opt outs are generally not required, except upon request by Acxiom to confirm such authorization); and
- Valid email address for each consumer for Acxiom’s direct correspondence with each consumer. *

- Unless you are qualified as an attorney-in-fact for a consumer as described above, Acxiom will require a valid email address for the consumer for Acxiom’s direct correspondence with the consumer, including an identity verification process to be conducted by Acxiom directly with that consumer.
