How to Find a Company’s Privacy Contact

Find the right person to ask about your data. Check the company’s privacy policy, write a clear request and keep the reply.

The simple answer

Suppose a shopping site keeps sending offers after you close your account. Open its official website and look for the privacy policy. The contact section may say “privacy”, “grievance” or “data protection”.

Check that the website belongs to the company before sending account details. Start with a short message that explains what you want.

What to check

1
Find the contact in the current privacy policy.

2
Check that the web address belongs to the company.

3
Include enough information to find your account, such as the email used to sign up.

4
Save your message and any reference number.

Keep the reply with your original request.

If the reply leaves your question unanswered, follow the company’s instructions for taking the complaint further.
