Acxiom is B2B data broker that helps businesses market to individuals and other businesses. However, a B2B data broker that has personal information on you and other businesses, is also a potential threat to your personal security and business employees. Optery has created Step-by-Step How to Opt Out of Acxiom instructions.
What is Acxiom?
Acxiom is one of the biggest data brokers in the world. It holds an astronomical amount of data from multiple countries and shares this data with millions of businesses and consumers worldwide. Acxiom gathers information about people like home addresses, purchase histories, and online registrations, and uses that data to market to people.
