- 4
Wait for the team
The page says your submission is received and Veraset's team will get in touch.
Watch out for
- The opt-out is tied to an advertising ID, so a second phone or a reset ID needs its own request.
- Veraset says it doesn't directly collect location data. It receives it from data suppliers and says it requires them and its clients to follow privacy laws, so the supplier apps remain a separate place to switch off location sharing.
Does it come back?
Veraset doesn't publish a relisting policy.
Your rights
Veraset names California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Iowa, Maryland, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas and Utah, and extends the opt-out right to residents of other states.
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.
General information, not legal advice.
