Why does Clearbit (HubSpot) have my work details?

Clearbit (HubSpot) builds company and contact profiles from public sources, partners and website visits, and sells access to sales teams. Visitor-identification tools use that database to put a name or employer on an anonymous visit.

Is it legal to make Clearbit (HubSpot) delete my data?

Yes. California residents have the right to delete (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.105) and to opt out of sale or sharing (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.120); Texas residents have equivalent rights under Tex. Bus. & Com. Code ch. 541 (Texas Data Privacy and Security Act); most other states with privacy laws grant the same. Many brokers honor requests from any US state as a matter of policy.

How long does Clearbit (HubSpot) take?

Clearbit (HubSpot) states 45 days.

Possibly. B2B databases refresh from new sources, so a periodic re-check is sensible, especially after a job change.
