Why Am I Receiving Emails from Data Brokers?

If you’ve received an email from a data broker, such as Hightouch, asking you to verify your email address, don’t worry — this is a normal part of the data removal process.

Why This Happens

• Some data brokers require additional confirmation from you to process removal requests.
• Emails like the one from Hightouch are part of their standard privacy procedure to ensure the request is legitimate.
• Control+ initiates the removal on your behalf, but certain brokers need your direct confirmation to complete the process.

What You Should Do

• ✅ You can safely verify your email to complete the removal process.
• Once confirmed, the data broker will continue with removing your information as requested.

Receiving these emails is expected for some brokers, and confirming them (when needed) ensures your personal data is fully removed or verifies that you were never listed.
