Delete Denied: The 2026 Data Broker Report Card
Which data brokers deny the most deletion requests, state by state, built from the California broker registry.
The angle
California makes every registered data broker disclose how many deletion requests they received and how many they denied. Read as a league table, the registry shows a club of brokers that deny more than 90% of the requests they get, and a long tail that takes months to act on the rest.
The data
The 2026 California data broker registry: deletion-request volumes, denial rates, response times, and the categories of buyers each broker sells to, cross-tabulated by state of incorporation.
The asset
A report card that grades every broker, a state map of where the worst-graded brokers are based, and buyer cross tabs showing which industries buy from the brokers that deny the most.
