Quick answer
Close your account from your ZipRecruiter account settings, then send a deletion request to ZipRecruiter's privacy team at dsars@ziprecruiter.com or through its privacy request page. Employers you already applied to keep their own copies of your application, so ask them separately if you want those removed.
Step 1: Hide or close your account
If you're still looking but want less exposure, you can change your profile's visibility so employers can't find you in searches. When you're done job hunting, sign in and close your account from your account settings.
Step 2: Ask ZipRecruiter to delete your data
Send the request from the email address on your account, say you want your personal information deleted, and keep a copy of what you sent and when.
What deletion doesn't reach
Employers and recruiters who received your application or downloaded your resume have their own copies. If one keeps contacting you, ask it directly to delete your information.

Your legal right to deletion
If you live in a state with a consumer privacy law, such as California, Colorado, Connecticut, Maryland, Minnesota, or Oregon, ZipRecruiter generally has to honor your deletion request and respond within the deadline your state sets. See what your state's law requires.
ZipRecruiter is probably not the only one
Most people have dozens of companies holding their information, from old shopping accounts to apps they've forgotten. DataTrail scans your inbox (read-only) to find them all, flags the ones with data breaches, and writes the deletion requests for you.
