My number is private

My number is private. I have been careful not to list it ANYWHERE, where I am required to give a number I religiously OPT OUT of any marketing or publishing of my number. Please explain to me how it is I am getting multiple calls a week from sales agents who have my details from the Lusha extension. This is clearly a breach of GDPR and data protection laws.

Our legal basis for processing personal data is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR: legitimate interest.

We're truly sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate you bringing this to our attention.

At Lusha, we don’t ship physical products, as we are a digital platform offering B2B data and sales solutions. It sounds like there may have been a misunderstanding or possibly a mix-up with another service. However, if you did make a payment through our platform and have not received access to the product or a refund, that’s certainly not the experience we aim to deliver.

Please reach out to our support team at support@lusha.com with your order details or the email used during the purchase so we can investigate this urgently and resolve it for you.

We’re here to help and want to make this right.

Disappointing

We've been trying really hard to resolve a disagreement on what we purchased from Lusha versus what they delivered. Advice is to be vigilant with contracts and assess carefully during the period you can opt out. We raised issues within 30 days but they didn't resolve them and then told us after we were passed the 30 day period so were not eligible for refund.

Finally found out the source of the harassments

Since earlier this year I started to get lots of harassment phone calls without knowing why. After some investigation, I found out that my personal information was published on this Lusha platform. So, I asked everyone on the other side of the call "Did you find my number from Lusha", while the answer was always "Yes".

DO NOT USE!!

DO NOT USE! Signed up with an annual membership but then I changed laptops and lost my saved login details. Password resets do not work, I have contacted our IT department the emails are not quarantined and they cannot see the traffic.
I have contacted Lusha via their ‘live chat’ but it takes 2-3 days to reply and they never get back to me.
I have sent countless emails with ZERO response.
I paid for an annual membership and now do not have access and cannot get a refund. Complete joke of a company, avoid at all costs.

Telemarketing scammers

Endless calls from irrelevant agencies wanting to sell me services that I have no dealings with. All have stated that they purchased my private contact details from this company. I've never signed up for this and never posted my private number on social media. Attempts to contact their support team and data controller to find out how they have obtained my private details have all been ignored.

Scammers

I keep receiving marketing calls for work on my home landline, my private mobile, all hours of the day. Turns out they have all bought my data from a company called Lusha. I complained to Lusha multiple times, they said they remove my data within 30 days - but the calls continue. This is going on for a couple of years now. I have also complained to the ICO. Still receiving multiple calls a day!
These guys are NOT GDPR compliant. They compile a profile for you from undisclosed data sources, including private information not on LinkedIn or in the public domain, and sell this to anyone who pays! Please do not buy their data, every time someone calls me out of the blue and tells me they got the number from Lusha, I hang up and block them.

Spam calls during my maternity leave on my PERSONAL number – avoid this company!

I had never even heard of Lusha until I started getting endless spam calls from random salespeople. After asking one of them where they got my number, they told me it came from Lusha—a company I have never signed up for, never given permission to, and never even interacted with.

Somehow, Lusha obtained my personal phone number and distributed it without my consent. I’m currently on maternity leave, trying to care for my newborn, and these intrusive calls have been a massive stress. Even when I tell callers to stop, they ask me for an alternative contact—completely inappropriate and invasive. They've even done this with my baby obviously crying next to me on the phone.

When I contacted Lusha to remove my details, their response was slow and dismissive, saying it would take 30 days to process. No apology, no explanation—just an unacceptable violation of my privacy that hey are profiting from.

And even if they do eventually remove my details, my personal phone number has probably been sold on many database lists at this point.

We’re truly sorry to hear about your experience and the distress these calls have caused — especially during such an important and sensitive time in your life. We understand how upsetting this must be and appreciate you sharing your story.

Lusha does not sell data or engage in outbound outreach. The information available on our platform is limited to publicly available, business-related contact details, and we never knowingly include private numbers unless they have been publicly listed in a professional context. That said, if your personal number was accessed through our system, we take that very seriously and are committed to investigating how that may have occurred.

We also regret if our response to your removal request felt slow or dismissive — that is certainly not the experience we aim to deliver. While removal requests are typically processed within a few business days, we are reviewing how we can improve both speed and transparency in these situations.

If you're willing, we’d appreciate the opportunity to take another look and ensure your details are fully removed from our system. Please reach out to our support team directly at support@lusha.com so we can prioritize your case.

We sincerely apologize for the stress this has caused and are committed to resolving the matter with the care and seriousness it deserves.

Obvious scam company scraping- collating & straight up inventing private information from various sources online to create a fake profile for you that they then sell to other scam companies and sends phishing emails to their supposed clients. They're not GDPR compliant. AVOID.

Lusha Facilitates Spam

I've requested my data be removed from Lusha on numerous occasions. I still get a lot of spam calls and when I ask where those spam callers got my data (under their article 14 GDPR obligations to tell me), they often point back to Lusha.

Now every time I get a call from a company, and it turns out they've used Lusha, that company goes on a blacklist of businesses that we will never work with. I advise everyone else to do the same. Lusha are entirely uninterested in safeguarding your personal information so this kind of action is the only way to force businesses to stop using these kinds of scammy companies.

This is clearly a GDPR breach and a scam

Lusha are selling my personal phone number to companies trying to sell me services for my day job. My personal mobile phone is not associated in any way with my work.

As with the other 1* reviews this clearly is a breach of GDPR. They have done some dubious internet scraping to get my phone number and associated it with Linkedin. I have (ill-advisedly) filled in their form to get my details removed (as is my right according to Lusha) and receive the response, "Many thanks for submitting your request at our privacy form

We have not found any personal information associated with the contact details you provided us within your privacy request:"

Well why then are sales representatives stating outright they obtained the information from Lusha.

They make it intentionally impossible to talk to them as what they do is clearly a scam.

I have reported it to the ICO, as I recommend others do.

We understand you're frustrated — and we want to be absolutely clear: Lusha does not sell personal phone numbers, nor do we engage in scraping or associating private data with LinkedIn or any other source without a legal basis.

Our platform provides business-related contact information that is already publicly available, and we operate fully within the scope of the GDPR. If your personal number was accessed through Lusha, it would only be possible if that number was previously published online in a professional context. We do not, under any circumstances, collect or distribute sensitive, non-public data.

Regarding your removal request: if we couldn’t locate your information, that likely means your number is not currently present in our system. However, we take your claim seriously — and we're happy to escalate the matter further. Please contact our team at support@lusha.com with the exact number you were contacted on and the name of the company that reached out to you. This will allow us to investigate properly and take appropriate action if there’s been misuse by a platform user.
