My information was returned in a LexisNexis report. How do I remove it?

Here’s what you need to know about how LexisNexis gathers data, why some information may appear in your report, and the steps you can take to manage or remove your information.

Understanding How LexisNexis Compiles Data

LexisNexis gathers information from a wide range of sources, including public records, commercial data providers, and other third-party databases. It then uses a process known as fuzzy matching to link this data to individuals.

  • What is Fuzzy Matching?
    • Fuzzy matching is a technique used to associate data that is similar but not identical. This means that if data appears to be related to you—based on partial matches, misspellings, or other variations—it could end up in your report. As a result, some information tied to your name in a LexisNexis report may not actually belong to you but to someone with similar details.

What to Do if You Find Your Information in a LexisNexis Report

If you've found your information in a LexisNexis report and would like to remove it, you can follow a straightforward process to unsubscribe from our database and limit any future inclusion of your data.

Steps to Remove Your Information:

  1. Visit Our Unsubscribe Page

    • The easiest way to have your information removed from our database is by submitting a request on our Unsubscribe page. Here, you can provide the necessary details to initiate the process of data removal.

  2. Submit the Unsubscribe Request Form

    • Fill out the form with your relevant information, including your name and email address, to help us accurately locate your records.
    • Once you submit the form, we will take action to remove your information from our database, which may also help reduce the likelihood of your data appearing in future reports from LexisNexis or similar services.

Why There’s No Need to Worry

It's important to understand that because LexisNexis uses data from multiple sources, inaccuracies can happen due to the fuzzy matching process. However, these issues can be easily addressed:

  • You Have Control: You can unsubscribe from our database at any time, ensuring that your information is no longer actively shared or compiled.
  • We Handle the Removal Process for You: After submitting your unsubscribe request, we will take care of the rest, making the process seamless and stress-free.
  • Protect Your Privacy Going Forward: By unsubscribing, you can minimize the chances of your data appearing in reports that might cause confusion or concern.
