Data removal requests
If you are a business owner or a resident and you want your information excluded from future runs of these Actors, email privacy@actorstack.dev. This page says exactly what that does.
How to make a request
Email privacy@actorstack.dev with enough to identify the record: the business name and city, or the listing URL. A link to the page on the source site is the fastest form of identification, because it is unambiguous.
You do not need to explain why. You do not need to prove ownership for a public business listing — the exclusion only removes data, so a request made in error costs nothing but a row.
What happens
The identifier goes onto an exclusion list that the Actors check during discovery. From that point, runs skip the record: it is not fetched, not returned and not charged for. Requests are actioned within a few days and you get a reply confirming it.
What an exclusion cannot reach
This is the part most removal pages leave vague, so plainly:
- It does not remove anything from the source site. If your business is listed on Nextdoor or your car is advertised on coches.net, that listing is still there. Only the source site can change that.
- It does not reach data somebody already downloaded. Users run these Actors into their own accounts. Rows delivered before the exclusion are in their storage, not mine, and I cannot reach into it.
- It does not affect other tools. The exclusion applies to these Actors only.
If your concern is the source listing itself, that request has to go to the site that publishes it. Happy to point you at the right place if it is not obvious.
What is already excluded by design
Some categories are never collected in the first place, so there is nothing to request:
- Private sellers' phone numbers on coches.net. Never returned, under any setting. The reasoning is in the article on Article 14.
- Nextdoor neighbor posts are off by default, and the author's neighborhood is a second, separate opt-in on top of that — because a partial name next to a precise neighborhood can identify a real person in a small community.
- Anything behind a login. These Actors do not sign in, so private groups, member feeds and direct messages are out of reach entirely.
- Addresses a business chose to hide. When a business sets its address to private, every address field comes back
nulleven though the coordinates are technically visible in the page source.
Statutory rights
Nothing on this page limits any right you have under the GDPR, the CCPA or another applicable law, and using this process is not a precondition for exercising one. If you are making a statutory request, say so in the email and it will be handled as such.
