The Preference Centre

Global suppression

Opt out.
Across borders.

The Preference Centre suppression register — organisations that subscribe to use our service suppress marketing to you (email, phone, SMS, post) where they hold your details. It does not erase you from every database on earth.

The Preference Centre Ltd runs this suppression register for organisations that subscribe to use our service — alongside national opt-out schemes, not instead of them.

More ways to pull your data back from marketing

Your details can exist in many places at once — brokers, brands, platforms, and post/phone lists. The more layers you use, the broader your coverage.

  • Use unsubscribe links in marketing email and STOP (or the sender’s keyword) on unwanted SMS where offered.

  • Register the same email and phone (with country code) everywhere you sign up — matching helps databases link your request.

  • Marketing data sits in many systems (brands, brokers, platforms). No single register removes you from all of them — layer national schemes, industry tools, and our suppression register.

  • Review ad personalisation in the accounts you actually use (e.g. search and social) — it runs alongside postal/phone/email lists.

The Preference Centre — suppression request

You are asking The Preference Centre Ltd to record your details on our suppression register. Organisations that subscribe to use our service use that register to stop marketing to you where they hold matching data. No service can guarantee removal from every database worldwide — use the other registers and tools on this site as well if you want broader coverage. Please complete every field below so we can reach you by email, phone, or post without asking you for missing details.

Postal address

Line 1, town or city, and postcode (last box) are required. Line 2 and county are optional if your address does not use them.

Data subject access request (DSAR) — individuals only

By ticking the box below you authorise The Preference Centre Ltd to complete a DSAR on your behalf with their clients. The Preference Centre will complete this request within 28 days from receipt. Under UK GDPR the time frame is one calendar month, with limited extensions allowed in law for complex or numerous requests.

Checking the box will also automatically add you to The Preference Centre Ltd's suppression register. For register-only requests (no DSAR), use the suppression consent box below.
