Wiza Opt-Out Guide: How to Remove Your Personal Information

Overview:-

What is Wiza?

Wiza is a real-time B2B contact discovery and enrichment platform-primarily using a Chrome extension-that helps you find, verify, and export business emails and phone numbers from LinkedIn and other sources.

Types of personal information they expose:

• Business email addresses

• Personal email addresses

• Direct phone numbers (cell and work)

• Job titles and current employer

• Additional firmographic details (e.g., company size, revenue, domain)

Risks to privacy if the data is not removed

• Individuals may be exposed to unwelcome outreach, fraud, or identity misuse

• Outdated or incorrect info can lead to reputational harm or targeted scams

• Subject to legal issues if personal data remains public in jurisdictions with robust data privacy protections (e.g., GDPR, CCPA)

Why this guide exists:

To help users understand what personal information Wiza uncovers, recognize the privacy implications if their own data appears, and learn steps they can take-like opting out-to protect themselves and regain control over their exposed details.

This step-by-step guide will walk you through the process of opting out of Wiza.
