Repeat for each device
Each phone or tablet has its own ID, so each needs its own request. For questions, email privacy@venntel.com or call 877-717-9985.
Watch out for
- The opt-out is per device ID. If you reset your advertising ID in your phone's settings, the new ID isn't covered and you must opt out again.
- Venntel's California filing says it sells data to the federal government and to state governments.
Does it come back?
Venntel states the opt-out covers one advertising ID only, so a reset or a new device creates an ID that isn't covered.
