CoreLogic Opt-Out

What is Cotality (CoreLogic)?

As a consumer reporting company focused on housing and property data, CoreLogic, now known as Cotality, collects and maintains consumer information, like traditional credit bureaus such as Equifax and TransUnion. Its primary distinction lies in its emphasis on real estate-related records. Consumer files may include property-influencing data such as bankruptcies, liens, judgments, tax status, support obligations, legal filings, and other financial indicators tied to housing and land ownership.

In addition to aggregating and distributing data, Cotality also connects qualified consumers with financial and property-related opportunities. These may include firm offers from mortgage or credit lenders, as well as limited-time insurance offers that often carry more favorable terms than those available publicly. Cotality operates within a larger corporate structure that includes Symbility Solutions Inc., which oversees several affiliated entities. As a result, consumers seeking full data suppression may need to submit opt-out requests to both organizations, depending on how comprehensive and long-term they want the removal to be.

Requirements to Remove Myself/My Name From Cotality (CoreLogic)

There are no formal eligibility requirements to submit an opt-out request with Cotality, but there are important considerations to keep in mind before starting. If you choose the email route, requests may need to be sent to both Cotality and its affiliate, Symbility Solutions Inc., as each maintains separate data systems. While consumers have the right to withhold sensitive information such as a Social Security Number or full date of birth, doing so may result in the request being denied due to insufficient identification. If this happens, the request can be resubmitted using another method, though calling may offer a more reliable path to completion.

Why We're Opting Out and Where to Start

Consumers have the right to control how their personal data is used, within the limits of federal law. While consumer reporting companies are permitted to collect and retain certain information, opting out helps reduce how that data is shared or used for outreach. In most cases, opting out places a suppression flag on a consumer's record, effectively adding the individual to a Do Not Contact list. Although the company may still retain the data internally, suppression limits future contact and marketing activity, which is often the primary goal for consumers.

To begin, open a new tab in your browser and follow the guide below. This walkthrough outlines five opt-out procedures, each offering a different level of impact. For broader suppression, combining methods such as unsubscribing, mailing a physical request, and opting out of targeted advertising is recommended. Using only the unsubscribe option typically removes you from email lists but may not affect other data uses. Each method is explained in detail below, with step-by-step instructions, resource links, and clear descriptions to help you choose the most effective path.

How to Remove Information From Cotality (CoreLogic): Detailed Guide

Call Cotality for a Five-Year, Temporary Opt-Out

Consumer reporting companies often use personal data to curate offers and negotiate purchasing terms, which may not always align with a consumer's preferences. One way to limit this activity is by requesting a temporary opt-out, which suppresses marketing and firm offers for a defined period. This option places a time-limited restriction on how consumer data is used for outreach, offering a practical middle ground for those who want reduced contact without a permanent removal.

A temporary opt-out can be requested directly by phone through Cotality. Consumers can call 1-877-309-5226 to speak with a live customer service representative, as the line does not use automated menus. The temporary opt-out lasts for five years, after which marketing and offer activity may resume automatically unless the request is renewed.

Unsubscribe from Direct Marketing

Cotality's privacy policy frames "opting out" primarily as unsubscribing from marketing communications, which is typically handled through email-based unsubscribe links. It's important to note that unsubscribing is not the same as a full opt-out. While unsubscribing stops direct contact from Cotality, it does not restrict how affiliated companies may continue to use or act on the underlying consumer data.

The wording of the policy can also be misleading. It encourages the use of an automated unsubscribe link while implying that this action applies broadly to all services, even though no separate or clearly defined opt-out mechanism is provided. This implication is reinforced by the absence of a distinct opt-out link despite references suggesting one exists. As a result, consumers who unsubscribe may still receive offers generated using Cotality-sourced data. To fully opt out of Cotality and its affiliate, Symbility Solutions Inc., consumers must follow the procedures outlined below, which involve emailing both companies or submitting a physical mail request.

Email Cotality and Symbility Directly

While this method does not result in a permanent opt-out, starting with email can still be beneficial. Submitting a request by email allows consumer credentials to be reviewed and verified early in the process, which is often more difficult when using physical mail due to stricter documentation requirements. Missing even one required element in a mailed request can delay or derail the process entirely, making email a more practical starting point for many consumers.

Emailing also creates a documented history of suppression requests, providing a clear paper trail that can be referenced later if follow-up is needed. This record can be useful for regulatory or dispute purposes and allows consumers to clearly explain their intent, which may influence how a request is handled. To begin, send your opt-out request to both Cotality and its affiliate, Symbility Solutions Inc. Copy the template below into your email application and replace the highlighted sections with your accurate information.

Opt Out of Targeted Browser Advertisements

One additional way to limit data use is by adjusting your browser's cookie permissions. Browser cookies control what websites are allowed to collect and store while you browse. Marketing and data companies use these permissions to deliver targeted advertisements based on previously collected information. While cookies are often necessary for basic website functionality, they also enable tracking and ad personalization. By disabling certain cookies, consumers can reduce how data from Cotality and its affiliate Symbility Solutions Inc. is used for targeted advertising.

Step One

Begin by visiting Symbility's Cookie Preferences page. When the page first loads, you will see that the listed cookies in use are marked as enabled by default.

Step Two

Click each blue check mark so the boxes become blank, then select the Update button to save your preferences.

After updating, the page will refresh and appear unchanged, except that the cookie boxes will now be unchecked. If you attempt to refresh again, the page may warn you not to do so. Close the window, open a new browser window, and return to the Cookie Preferences page. If the boxes remain unchecked, the changes have been successfully applied, and your opt-out preference is confirmed.

Check Back Later to Confirm the Process is Complete

Unless you are a California resident, Cotality and Symbility Solutions Inc. are generally not legally required to honor opt-out requests. In many cases, opt-out submissions are reviewed as petitions rather than guaranteed removals, and requests may be denied if the reason provided is deemed incomplete or insufficient. As a result, users should not expect immediate confirmation, as approval notices are not always issued or clearly communicated.

If an opt-out request is approved, marketing communications and firm offers linked to Cotality typically begin to slow or stop within a few months. However, because Symbility shares data with third parties, some promotional mail or offers may continue if they originate from preexisting mailing lists. If marketing activity does not noticeably decrease after six months, consumers are advised to follow up directly with customer support.

This guide reflects the opt-out and data-removal practices described in Cotality's and Symbility's privacy policies as of 2025.
