Decide Opt Out: Privacy Requests and Anonymous Mode

To opt out of Decide Technologies, email privacy@decide.co or call the privacy number published in its policy, 1-800-560-3603. Say whether you want deletion, a sale-sharing opt-out, or another privacy right.

Decide also describes browser-based Anonymous Mode and recognizes Global Privacy Control. Those browser choices are separate from a request to delete information held about you. This guide covers Decide, formerly LockerDome, as one controller.

The official privacy page was checked November 7, 2026. We inspected its public instructions but did not send a request, verify a consumer identity or test a completed removal. The page refers to a form and an Anonymous Mode toggle that were not visible in our inspected browser session. The published email and phone route is therefore the practical starting point if those controls are also missing for you.

Choose the right Decide privacy request

Decide's policy describes information from its services, partners, advertising networks and data providers. Examples include account identifiers, browser or device identifiers and activity information. It is not a public people-search directory where every reader can locate a profile URL. Do not invent a listing address or purchase an advertising product simply to make a request.

The company's cookie policy identifies Decide Technologies as formerly LockerDome. If an older notice uses that name, explain the connection in your request instead of treating it as evidence of two independent databases. Our opt-out guide hub separates other controllers whose records need their own requests.

How to send a clear request

Start from the official Decide privacy policy, rather than an unsolicited message offering to perform the request. Confirm the contact address before sharing information. The policy identifies privacy@decide.co for rights requests and lists the telephone alternative above.

• Name the right you want to exercise: deletion, sale-sharing opt-out, access or correction.
• Explain how you encountered Decide, including an account or advertising context if known.
• Provide a reply address and the relevant identifier you already know.
• Ask how to verify the request through an appropriate channel if more information is necessary.
• Keep the date, your request text and any acknowledgment or reference number.

A useful initial message is: “I am requesting deletion of personal information associated with the identifier below and an opt-out of sale or sharing where applicable. Please explain any verification needed, retained information and the scope of your response.” Adapt the request to your actual goal; do not claim residence or authority you do not have.

There is no observed universal form-field list for the email route. Avoid attaching a passport, a complete device history or unrelated personal records preemptively. Describe the relevant account, email or advertising identifier if known, then let the privacy team explain what it needs to match the request. If the issue concerns multiple identifiers, identify which ones the response should cover.

How verification and follow-up work

Decide says it verifies requests by checking data points against information in its records. Its policy distinguishes the verification needed for access, deletion and correction from browser-based preferences. If someone acts for you, authority to make the request may also need confirmation. Do not assume that signing up with a removal service eliminates every verification step.

Read a follow-up message carefully before responding. It should explain the request it concerns and the information needed to match you. If a message arrives from an unfamiliar address or asks for more information than seems relevant, return to the independently opened policy and confirm the channel with the privacy contact.

The policy includes historical request-response statistics. Those figures are not a deadline for your case, and we have not independently tested them.

Ask for the expected response date when you submit, then follow up in the same thread if no acknowledgment arrives or an advised date passes. Keep a distinction between “received,” “verified” and “completed.”

If the company refuses a request, its policy provides an appeal route through the same privacy email or phone contact. Ask which part was refused and why. Rights and exceptions depend on the circumstances and applicable law; this guide explains the published workflow rather than giving an individual legal assessment. The identity-verification guide explains how to assess matching requests without sending unnecessary documents.

Anonymous Mode, GPC and deletion are different

Decide describes Anonymous Mode as de-identifying information, including truncating an IP address, while retaining an opt-out cookie and a general account cookie. Its instructions say the setting applies to each device and browser combination. Clearing cookies, changing browsers or signing into an account can require another choice.

The public policy also says its sites recognize Global Privacy Control. It distinguishes that signal from older Do Not Track settings, which it says it does not interpret in the same way. Follow the instructions for the browser you actually use and confirm the setting remains enabled after changes.

During our check, the policy's text was readable but the advertised Anonymous Mode toggle and bottom form were not available as usable controls. If that happens to you, use the published contact route and describe the missing control. Do not assume that reading the policy, clicking an anchor or accepting a cookie banner has opted you out.

For a similar identifier-based advertising workflow, see the Datadesk guide. The GroundTruth guide covers another advertising-data controller. Each company has its own identifiers and request scope; a response from one does not settle the other.

What can remain after a request?

A deletion response is not proof that every partner has erased independently collected information. Decide's policy says partners may collect and store their own data. Ask whether a response covers the controller's records, service-provider processing, account data or only a browser preference.

Some information may be retained for legal, security or other stated exceptions. An anonymization process can also leave information that no longer identifies you. Ask the company to explain any retained category and the reason, especially when the response uses broad language such as “processed” without describing the action.

Future activity can create new data. A new account, a different device, changed identifiers or another source relationship can alter what a company holds. Save the original response so that a later request can identify what has changed. Reappearance risk is a reason to check again, not evidence that a particular request failed.

If you are coordinating several requests, compare the tracking steps in our data broker removal guide. You can also run a free data broker scan to look for supported exposures. A scan result is a discovery aid; it does not prove that Decide holds a record or that this exact workflow is included in a paid plan.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a Decide account to contact the privacy team?

The policy publishes a general email and phone route for privacy rights. It also has account-specific controls for registered users. Use the contact route if you do not have an account or cannot find a usable form; do not create an account merely to reach the privacy team.

Will unsubscribing delete my advertising data?

Not by itself. An unsubscribe request concerns marketing communications. If you also want deletion or a restriction on sale and sharing, state those requests separately and ask the company to confirm the scope of each action.

What if I cannot find an advertising identifier?

Explain what you know about the interaction and ask which identifier is needed. Do not guess a device identifier or borrow another person's details. The company may need additional information before it can locate a relevant record.

Does a browser opt-out apply to all my devices?

Decide's Anonymous Mode instructions say to make the choice for each device and browser combination. They also warn about cookie clearing and account login. Treat a browser preference and a database rights request as separate items in your records.
