Removal requests

Sometimes a person asks for their data to be removed. When that happens, we remove their details from Intent Leads and tell you, so you can remove them from your own systems too.

Under the terms, you must delete or suppress that person in your CRM, sequencer and any other system within 10 business days of our notice.

How you’re told

Dashboard: an entry on Activity, and the lead shows as suppressed.
API: GET /api/v1/suppressions lists them.
CLI and MCP: intentleads suppressions, or the list_suppressions tool.

Checking for removals

Check at least weekly. Pass since to get only recent ones:

curl -s "https://intentleads.si/api/v1/suppressions?since=2026-10-01" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $INTENT_LEADS_KEY"

Response

{
  "since": "2026-10-01",
  "suppressions": [
    {
      "lead_id": "01a13b71-2c4d-7e8f-9a0b-1c2d3e4f5a6b",
      "email_sha256": "5f2c8e0a4b9d7c1e3f6a8b0d2c4e6f8a1b3d5c7e9f0a2b4c6d8e0f1a3b5c7d9e",
      "suppressed_at": "2026-10-14T08:30:00.000Z"
    }
  ],
  "note": "Delete these people from your systems within 10 business days of suppressed_at."
}

Match each one to your records by:

lead_id, if you stored it when you imported the lead (recommended), or
email_sha256: the SHA-256 of the email, trimmed and lowercased.

Match by email

import hashlib

def email_sha256(email: str) -> str:
    return hashlib.sha256(email.strip().lower().encode()).hexdigest()

What happens to the lead

The lead stays in your exports with suppressed: true, and every contact field is empty, including in re-downloads and future pulls. The person won’t be exported to you again.
