Watch out for
- PulsePoint's registry entry says it generally works with ad IDs and cookies, not names, so it may be unable to match your request to anything and deny it.
- Its policy says it shares browsing data tied to healthcare professionals' NPI numbers with clients who buy those services. If you're one, that's worth a separate email.
Does it come back?
PulsePoint doesn't publish a relisting policy, and a cookie-based opt-out lasts only as long as the cookie does.
Your rights
PulsePoint is a member of the Network Advertising Initiative and appears on the California data broker registry.
California: CCPA. If you live in California, the CCPA lets you ask a business to delete the personal information it holds about you and to stop selling or sharing it. Businesses generally have 45 days to respond.
California: the Delete Act. Data brokers that hold information on Californians must register with the state. California residents can use DROP, the state's Delete Request and Opt-out Platform, to send one deletion request to every registered broker at once.
Other US states. Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Texas, Oregon and a growing list of other states give residents a similar right to delete. Vermont, Texas and Oregon also make data brokers register with the state. Where no state law applies, the broker's own opt-out above still works for most people.

Not on the policy page. Its California registry entry reports response times in days for deletion and opt-out requests.
Do I need to repeat the opt-out?
On each browser and device, yes.
