In 2025, so far, over 35 billion records have been breached across almost 9,500 publicly disclosed incidents.
It's worrying that websites like ACBJ can use our information without asking.
If we don't protect our data, these data collection sites will store our information, which is a big privacy issue.
To keep your online privacy safe, follow this guide to delete all your details from ACBJ.
ACBJ.com is the website for American City Business Journals, a big company in the US that shares business news.
They have newspapers and a website called Bizjournals.com that tells you about business happenings in different cities across the country. Lots of people read their news every week.
If you sign up for their magazines, go to their events, or apply for a job, you give them your information yourself. It's like handing over your details directly to them.
When you go to their website, they might use cookies or other tools to track what you do, like which articles you read and how long you spend on each one. It's like them keeping a record of your activity while you're on their site.
They buy information about you from companies that gather user data online. It's smart to read their privacy policy at this link (https://www.bizjournals.com/privacy) to see what information they collect and what they do with it.
Opting out of ACBJ is important for controlling your privacy. Here's why:
When you opt-out, you'll get fewer emails or calls from ACBJ about what they're selling.
When you opt-out, you're saying you don't want ACBJ to collect as much information about what you do online, like what websites you visit and what you're interested in.
When you opt out, it means you're taking charge of what happens with your information on the internet. You get to decide who can see it and who can't, which helps keep your private stuff safe.
To opt out of the ACBJ database, kindly send an email to their support team requesting the removal of your information from their website.
If you've opted out of ACBJ but not other data collectors, PurePrivacy can help remove your data from those platforms too.
This gives you more control over who has your information and helps protect your privacy better.

ACBJ is mostly business news, like what's going on with companies in different cities. But they also have a magazine called Hemmings Motor News for people who love classic cars. So there's a little bit besides business news, but not a lot.
ACBJ is business news, mostly paid. Try your city's journal website for free articles, or use free business news sites.
Look for "[City Name] Business Journal" online or check your local paper's business section. The Chamber of Commerce website might have news, too!
If you don't opt out of ACBJ emails, they might send you emails about business news, their paid subscriptions, or events. You can unsubscribe anytime if you don't want them anymore.
Opting out of ACBJ is crucial if you're worried about your data being shared.
Shared data can pose many risks, including identity theft.
