Your legal footing
The right you are exercising
Article 17 of the GDPR, the right to erasure, lets a data subject require a company to delete the personal data it holds. Apollo.io handles B2B and contact data that falls under this, so the request is filed as a formal erasure request, not a favour.
What this can do
Take your public Apollo.io listing down and, for a search tool, drop the result out of a name search. Filed correctly, the site is obliged to act on it.
What it cannot do
It does not erase news reporting, court filings or other lawful public records. Honesty about scope is the point: we never claim to delete something we cannot.
Why it comes back
Apollo.io re-ingests public records on a schedule, so a removed profile can return. The fix is to monitor and re-file, not to opt out once and hope.
