Oh, neat! I just had an email exchange with these folks.

I asked them to take down a copy of my former LinkedIn profile that they scraped while I still had one.

Despite them complying, it really left a weirdly bad taste in my mouth, so I wish them the absolute fucking worst of luck with all of their future endeavours.



Yikes. I wouldn’t like that either. My guess is that’s probably because one of your LinkedIn contacts added you to their Clay account, but who can tell.

How did you find out your information was in there.

Possibly. But I deleted my LinkedIn account... I want to say at least two years ago, maybe more? I don't know how long Clay has been around.

And I found out by Googling my name.


Well, alright then. I’d feel the same way about it if I were in your shoes.
