ContactOut Reviews 121

This website is publishing personal information that is not in the public domain.

Illegal website

Cannot get my records deleted from them I have tried emailing them and they make the process super complicated and require you to open an account with them. This is completely illegal what they are doing.

0 stars if this was available. they take without permission or, indeed courtesy notice, information from LinkedIn and add presumed email addresses and phone numbers. In my case 2 out of 3 items added are definitely incorrect (1 email address and 1 phone number

Illegally display my full E-mail adress while they say it's only from public websites, but there are no sites where this is displayed publicaly. Also they say that once the website/page is removed it will automatically remove from them but that is not true since an old mail from a website that does not exist anymore is still in their database.

I've used ContactOut for over three months. The platform has been broken in several critical ways that make it unreliable and frustrating. Unfortunately, over the past three days, things have taken a turn for the worse as major contact management failures have made the service unusable. ContactOut refuses to reply to my requests for help.

Specifically:

Contacts do not update properly when someone replies or if it bounces. Despite receiving many bounce notifications from my email provider, ContactOut often still shows those contacts as active. Replies also frequently do not update the contact status, meaning the campaign continues to send emails to people who have already responded.

The UI for managing contacts is broken. I cannot pause, remove, archive or individually select contacts as needed. These functions worked without issue until Friday, August 1, 2025, but now they all consistently fail.

I have tried multiple troubleshooting steps on my end, including clearing my cache several times, switching browsers from Chrome to Firefox, turning off my VPN, updating Chrome, rebooting my computer, and even logging into a different ContactOut account. None of this has resolved the issues, which strongly indicates the problem is on ContactOut’s side.

Overall, ContactOut’s failures to maintain basic contact management functionality and their lack of timely support make this service unusable. The issues are severe enough that I plan to close my account and request a refund.

I was horrified that my data had been compromised by them. A simple internet search revealed my personal phone number. Something that appears to have been taken from the private listing on Linkedin

This. Should be removed.

Its just a quick question, is the info that they provide about celebrities (eg emmail and phone number), their real email addresses

The company has harvested my personal information from somewhere (LinkedIn?) and is selling it. Should be shut down under GDPR as they never had my permission. Their removal policy is 30 days (!) if they actually do it.

They have stolen my data from t
LinkedIn profile.

They revealed all my contact details to the public without my permission. Now my social media accounts are being hacked.

What a horrid company! They used my pic and added false email address and phone number. They should be reported and penalized.

Googled myself and found that they lifted my photo and details from LinkedIn. They have also provided contact number and email contact which are false.

Using my personal information without consent reported

same as everyone else, this is a scamming company. never gave them my info. probably took it when i applied to one of the endless fake jobs on linkedin for sure.

Personal data is being shared without any consent.

Unethical company that uses people's personal data without consent and breaches all privacy laws in Europe. Deleting info apparently takes 30 days.

This company is selling personal data without consent. Isn't there any authority who could stop this company?

Using my personal information without consent. Disgusting, unethical company.
