What Acxiom shows about you
Acxiom can show your marketing profile, home address, household data, purchase interests and demographics. Acxiom doesn't publish profiles you can look up. It sells marketing data about households, such as demographics and buying interests, to advertisers and other companies. You can't easily see your own file, but you can still opt out.
Good to know
Opting out of a marketing broker won't change people-search sites, which are a separate problem. Start with the people-search sites in our removal guides.

Acxiom: frequently asked questions
Is it free to remove yourself from Acxiom?
Yes. Acxiom's opt-out is free. You never need to buy a report or a subscription to remove your information.
How long does Acxiom take?
Acxiom doesn't publish a timeframe. Search again after a few days, and follow up if your information is still there after two weeks.
Will my information come back on Acxiom?
It can. Acxiom keeps adding records from public and commercial sources, so a new listing can appear after a move, a new phone number or a data refresh. Check again every few months.
Does removing myself from Acxiom remove me from Google?
Not right away. Google can show an old snippet until it recrawls the page. Once the Acxiom page is gone, you can ask Google to refresh the result. See our Google removal guide.
