Verisk

A risk datasite that exposes your name, address, phone, and relatives. Here's what they collect, how to opt out, and why it matters if you're on the job.

What Verisk collects

  • Insurance claims history (auto, home, workers' comp, liability)
  • Premium payment history
  • Property characteristics and inspection data
  • Loss history and claim outcomes
  • Vehicle accident and repair history
  • Workers' compensation injury records
  • Fraud indicator flags

How to opt out yourself

  1. There's no consumer self-service portal. The opt-out is by email.
  2. Email privacy@verisk.com and put a CCPA deletion request in the subject line.
  3. In the body, include your full name, current address, any prior addresses you've held, date of birth, and any policy numbers you can find on old insurance paperwork.
  4. Name ISO ClaimSearch, and ask Verisk to apply the request across all of its consumer data products. A request that only names the parent company may be processed against a single database.
  5. California law requires Verisk to acknowledge the request within 10 business days and respond within 45 calendar days. The law allows one 45-day extension.
  6. Verisk may keep some data it argues it needs for legal or regulatory obligations. That carve-out is broad in insurance.
  7. Save the acknowledgment and completion emails. If you switch home or auto carriers later, your new insurer may pull ClaimSearch, so keep proof of what you asked to delete.

What Verisk knows about you

Verisk is a public data-analytics company based in Jersey City, New Jersey. It sells to insurers and reinsurers, not to consumers, so most people outside the industry never deal with it directly.

Its main product is ISO ClaimSearch, a shared claims database that major insurers query before writing a policy or paying a claim. It covers auto, home, workers' comp, and liability claims. Verisk reports the database holds more than 1.8 billion claim records contributed by over 1,850 organizations.

For your file, that can mean a record of each claim you've made: the date, the type, the amount, the address on the policy, the outcome, and any fraud flags. Workers' comp injuries and vehicle accidents are included.

Why it matters if you're on the job

Verisk isn't a doxxing tool. A stalker can't buy a ClaimSearch report, and the customers are insurers. The risk is indirect.

If you filed a homeowner's claim at a previous house, ClaimSearch has that address tied to your name. If you've since moved and aren't on the current deed, because the home is in a trust or a spouse's name, ClaimSearch may still list a prior address as the most recent one connected to you.

Anyone with insurer-level access can query that. Other brokers also cross-reference insurance-claim addresses to confirm the listings they sell. A claim you filed years ago can validate where you used to live.

For a first responder with a claims history, such as a firefighter with a workers' comp injury or an officer with a duty-vehicle claim, that record stays on file and points to the address you had at the time.

How to opt out

There's no consumer self-service portal. Verisk's customer is the insurance industry, not you.

Send a deletion request by email to privacy@verisk.com. California's CCPA gives residents the right to ask a company to delete personal information it holds about them. Include your name, current and prior addresses, date of birth, and any policy numbers you can find. Name ISO ClaimSearch, and ask Verisk to apply the request across all of its consumer data products. A request that only names the parent company may be processed against a single database.

The law requires Verisk to acknowledge the request within 10 business days and respond within 45 calendar days, with one 45-day extension allowed. Verisk may keep data it argues it needs for legal or regulatory obligations, which is a broad carve-out in insurance.

How long until you're back

ClaimSearch is event-driven, not continuously refreshed. A new claim adds a record. A policy renewal can re-attach address data. If you don't file new claims, the existing data ages in place rather than refreshing. When you reappear depends on your claim activity, not a fixed schedule.

What we do

We draft the deletion email, send it on your behalf with ISO ClaimSearch named, and track the response against the deadlines the law sets. If a new claim re-attaches your data, we file again. We handle the same request across the other risk-data brokers that hold insurance and claims records, so you're not chasing each one separately.

Who owns it

Verisk Analytics, Inc.

Verisk is its own public parent (NASDAQ: VRSK), headquartered in Jersey City, New Jersey. Its consumer-relevant data sits under the ISO ClaimSearch umbrella, so a deletion request should name that subsidiary, not just Verisk.

Where the data comes from

  • Contributing insurers and reinsurersMore than 1,850 organizations feed claim records into ISO ClaimSearch, which is how a claim you filed with any participating carrier lands in your file.
  • Insurance policy and claim filingsEach auto, home, workers' comp, or liability claim adds the date, type, amount, outcome, and the policy address at the time.

Doing this for one broker is straightforward. Doing it for 200, on a continuous basis, is what we do.
