RocketReach

Yes. RocketReach LLC is a B2B contact-data and lead-intelligence broker founded in Bellevue, Washington in 2015; its California registry address is in Brooklyn, New York. The company claims that its database covers roughly 700 million professional profiles (full names, work email addresses, mobile phone numbers, job titles, company names, and links to social media profiles) for sales, recruiting, and marketing teams on a subscription basis. RocketReach collects this information from publicly available online sources (corporate websites, professional directories and similar) without obtaining consent from the individuals profiled. The company itself describes its operation as a data aggregator and says it honors CCPA opt-out requests.

RocketReach LLC is the company on its California data-broker registration. It was founded in 2015 in Bellevue, Washington by software engineers with backgrounds in search technology. Growth-equity firm Brighton Park Capital announced a significant growth investment in August 2020, saying Brighton Park had acquired a majority stake; we found no later source on who holds it today. In a 2025 anniversary press release, RocketReach claimed more than 26 million users and adoption by 95% of the S&P 500.

RocketReach claims that it holds profiles on roughly 700 million professionals. Each profile typically contains full name, current job title, current employer, work email address (often inferred via pattern matching), personal email address (when discovered), mobile phone number, social media profile links (LinkedIn, Twitter, GitHub, etc.), skills, and employment history. The data is scraped from public web sources rather than supplied by the individuals profiled. The 2021 Krause v. RocketReach class action specifically targeted RocketReach's practice of using individuals' names, work info, and social profiles in advertising and previews of its paid product.

Yes. RocketReach honors CCPA and EU privacy-law opt-out requests through its opt-out form at rocketreach.co/remove-profile. The form takes an email address and nothing else, then sends a verification link to it before anything is processed. Live support is available via the knowledge base at knowledgebase.rocketreach.co. Note that consumer complaints across BBB and Trustpilot frequently mention that initial opt-out submissions don't always complete on the first try. If yours doesn't go through, follow up. See our RocketReach removal guide for step-by-step instructions.

The opt-out form gives no timescale. California law gives RocketReach 15 business days to act on an opt-out of sale and 45 days for a verified deletion request, with one extension to 90 on the deletion clock if RocketReach says so in writing. The complaint that comes up most often isn't slowness but reappearance, a profile that returns after the next crawl, which is why the guide says to file again every year.

Not by its own account. RocketReach sells work contact details for prospecting and recruiting, not consumer reports, and its terms bar customers from using the data to screen tenants, employees or borrowers. The laws that do reach it are the state privacy statutes, California's CCPA and CPRA first among them, and Illinois's Right of Publicity Act, which is what Krause v. RocketReach was brought under and what the $1.59 million settlement paid for in 2023.
