CoreLogic Opt Out: How to Limit Your Property and Consumer Data

To opt out of CoreLogic, go to the privacy section of its official website and submit a consumer privacy request, choosing to opt out of the sale or sharing of your data and, if your state gives you the right, to access or delete it. CoreLogic has been rebranding as Cotality, so the site and forms may carry either name. An opt-out can reduce how your data is shared for marketing, but it won’t remove property records that counties publish, and regulated consumer reports can’t simply be opted out of.

Here’s what CoreLogic does, what you can realistically change, and how to go about it.

What CoreLogic is and why it has your data

CoreLogic is one of the largest property data and analytics companies in the US. It collects and organizes information such as deeds, mortgages, property tax records, sale prices, and property characteristics, much of it from county and other public records. Lenders, insurers, real estate professionals and investors use that data for valuations, underwriting, risk models and marketing.

In 2025 the company began operating under the name Cotality. If you see Cotality on a privacy page or confirmation email, it refers to the same business.

Two points shape what you can do about it:

• Much of the data starts as public record. Your deed and property tax records are published by your county. CoreLogic can stop sharing its copy for some purposes, but the original record stays public.
• Some data is regulated. Parts of the business provide consumer reports used in lending and similar decisions. Those fall under the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), where your rights are access and correction, not opt-out.

What a CoreLogic opt-out can and can’t do

Request	What it can do	What it can’t do
Opt out of sale or sharing	Limit CoreLogic selling or sharing your personal information, especially for marketing	Remove your name from county deed or tax records
Access request	Show you what personal information it holds, where state law gives you the right	Force changes on its own
Deletion request	Delete some personal information, where state law gives you the right	Delete data covered by exceptions, such as FCRA-regulated or legally required records
FCRA file request and dispute	Get a copy of a consumer report and correct inaccurate information	Remove accurate information that the law allows it to report

If your goal is fewer mortgage refinance and home equity mailers, the opt-out is worth doing. If your goal is to hide your home address from the public, CoreLogic is only one small piece, and the bigger levers are people-search sites and your county’s own rules.

What to have ready before you submit

• Your full name and any previous names, such as a maiden name
• Every property address you’ve owned or rented in recent years, including a second home or rental property
• The email address you want confirmations sent to
• For access or deletion, whatever identity verification the form asks for, which may include matching details on file
• If you’re acting for a relative, proof that you’re authorized, since authorized agent requests usually need extra documentation

Give only what the form requests. A privacy request shouldn’t need your Social Security number or bank details unless the company explains why in its official process.

How to submit a CoreLogic opt-out, step by step

1. Go to the official site. Type corelogic.com or cotality.com directly and look for the privacy link, usually in the footer. Look for wording like “privacy request”, “your privacy choices” or “do not sell or share my personal information”.
2. Choose your request type. Pick opt-out of sale or sharing. If you live in a state with privacy rights, you can also pick access or deletion.
3. Enter your details. Give your full name and every property address you’ve owned or lived at in recent years. Property data is organized by address, so each one matters.
4. Verify your identity. Access and deletion requests usually require more verification than an opt-out. Expect an email confirmation step.
5. Save the confirmation. Note the date and any reference number.
6. Repeat for co-owners. A spouse or co-owner on the deed generally needs to submit their own request.

If the online form doesn’t work for you, CoreLogic’s privacy policy lists other ways to contact its privacy team. Use those details rather than any phone number from a third-party site.

Fixing a wrong CoreLogic consumer report

Some people first hear of CoreLogic when a lender or landlord mentions a report. If a report contains errors, such as a lien that was released or someone else’s records mixed with yours, the fix is an FCRA request and dispute, not an opt-out.

1. Ask the lender or landlord which company produced the report. They’re generally required to tell you when they take adverse action based on it.
2. Request a copy of your file from that company through the consumer contact details on its official site.
3. Dispute any inaccurate item in writing, with evidence such as a lien release or recorded satisfaction.
4. The company must generally investigate within about 30 days and correct or delete information it can’t verify.

Also fix the source. If a county record is wrong, such as a mortgage satisfaction that was never recorded, ask your lender or the county recorder to correct it. Otherwise the error can return with the next data update.

A worked example

This is an illustrative scenario, not a real client.

Luis bought his first home last spring. Within weeks he’s getting daily mail about mortgage protection insurance, refinancing and home warranties, many referencing his lender and loan amount.

1. He goes to CoreLogic’s official privacy page and submits an opt-out of sale and sharing covering his new and previous addresses. His co-owner submits her own.
2. He opts out of prescreened credit offers through OptOutPrescreen, since some of the mailers are credit-based.
3. He sends opt-outs to the larger marketing data brokers from a checklist.
4. He checks whether his county offers any options for limiting online display of owner names. It doesn’t, so he accepts that the deed stays public.

The mailers slow down over the following months. Some keep coming, because property transfers are public and many companies pull them directly from county records.

Common mistakes

• Expecting the opt-out to hide your deed. The county record is public regardless of what CoreLogic does.
• Listing only your current address. Previous properties are part of your data too.
• Using an opt-out to fix an error. Wrong data needs a dispute with evidence.
• Clicking lookalike or ad links. Go to the official site yourself.
• Stopping at one company. Several property data firms and brokers hold similar data, and risk data companies also compile property records. Our LexisNexis opt-out guide covers one of them.

Other steps that reduce property-related exposure

• People-search sites: these are what strangers actually see when they search your name. Start with our data broker opt-out list.
• Address confidentiality programs: many states run programs for survivors of domestic violence and certain other groups that shield addresses in public records.
• State privacy tools: California residents can use the Delete Request and Opt-out Platform (DROP) to reach registered data brokers at once. See our guide to the California Delete Act.
• Public records strategy: our guide on removing public records from the internet covers what’s realistic.

If your home address is exposed because of harassment or a safety threat, talk to a local advocate or a lawyer about your options, and see our personal reputation management service for help removing what’s visible in search.

Frequently asked questions

Is CoreLogic the same as Cotality?

Yes. CoreLogic began operating under the Cotality name in 2025, so privacy pages, forms and confirmation emails may use either name. Make sure you’re on the company’s official site either way.

Will opting out of CoreLogic remove my home from Zillow or Redfin?

Not necessarily. Real estate sites draw property data from several sources, including county records and listing services. Each site has its own process for owners, and some property facts will stay visible because they’re public record.

Can I delete my data from CoreLogic?

If your state gives you a deletion right, you can request it through CoreLogic’s privacy page. Exceptions usually apply to FCRA-regulated data and records it must keep by law, so some data may remain.

Why am I getting mail about my mortgage from companies I've never heard of?

Mortgage and deed information is recorded publicly, and data companies compile it and sell marketing lists. Opting out of CoreLogic and other brokers reduces this, but some mailers work directly from public records.
