Intent IQ Opt Out Guide: Browser, Mobile ID and Email
Use Intent IQ opt out choices for browser cookies, mobile IDs or email, check verification steps, and understand deletion and reappearance limits.

To opt out of Intent IQ, open Your Privacy Choices and select Browser/Cookie, Mobile Device or Email. The provider says these routes stop sale, sharing or targeted advertising and delete information it believes is tied to the identifier. Use the route matching your exposure, repeat it for other browsers or devices, and keep the outcome separate from unrelated advertisers’ records.
Intent IQ opt out quick facts

| Decision | Current guidance |
|---|---|
| Official route | Official Browser/Cookie, Mobile Device and Email opt-out pages |
| Scope | Device-map identifiers and applicable rights; precise location has an explicit privacy-email route |
| Matching and verification | Browser route exposes Submit and reCAPTCHA; mobile requires MAID; email requires address then emailed instructions |
| Processing | No universal completion deadline verified; frequent client refresh is not a removal guarantee |
| Outcome | Identifier-specific opt-out and deletion under provider wording, with downstream integration limits |
Use Intent IQ official request instructions as the starting point. The instructions and public evidence were checked September 10, 2026. No consumer request was submitted, so this guide reports the documented process rather than a tested removal result.
How to submit your Intent IQ request
Official route: Browser request | Mobile request | Email request
- Start on Your Privacy Choices and review its jurisdiction and identifier explanation. The service works with device information, including mobile IDs, cookies and hashed emails, rather than a normal searchable name-and-address profile.
- For Browser/Cookie, open that route in the browser you want covered. The embedded public workflow exposes a Submit control and reCAPTCHA. Complete the provider’s human verification yourself and retain whatever result it displays.
- For Mobile Device, supply the existing MAID in the required field. Intent IQ says it cannot detect that identifier from the webpage. Use the appropriate IDFA or AAID and repeat for other devices you want covered.
- For Email, enter the relevant address in the required Email Address field. The provider says it will send instructions; follow the actual message rather than assuming the initial submission finishes the request.
- For precise-location deletion or limits, corrections, or problems with the embedded workflow, email privacy@intentiq.com. Authorized agents should follow the provider’s instructions for proof of authorization.
Choose the scope before sending personal information
- Browser cookie: applies to that browser environment, so repeat the workflow for other browsers and devices.
- Mobile identifier: targets the supplied device advertising ID; the webpage does not automatically retrieve it for you.
- Email identifier: starts a separate instruction flow tied to the email submitted. The provider explains that its underlying service uses hashed addresses.
- Precise location: the rights page names privacy@intentiq.com for deletion and use limits. Describe this action expressly if it matters.
Write down the outcome you want before starting. A useful request identifies the relevant record and states whether you want a disclosure stopped, a field corrected, or stored information deleted. If several actions matter, list them separately and ask the provider to confirm the disposition of each one.
Use identifiers tied to the record rather than a large bundle of personal documents. A name alone may match another person, while an unrelated address can confuse the request. Supply the minimum accurate details needed for the particular workflow, then respond to any explained verification step.
What the provider controls
Intent IQ explains that some connections between devices are probabilistic. An association may include another device on the same network. That is a reason to ask about the match when a response seems surprising, rather than assuming a perfect person-level identity record.
Its privacy choices page says the opt-out routes also delete the information it believes is tied to the device. This specific wording matters: it would be inaccurate to describe the current route as only an advertising preference with no deletion action.
The provider offers clients technical deletion notifications but says integration depends on the client. Its note that clients usually refresh daily is not a guaranteed deadline for every recipient. Ask about downstream handling if the response only covers Intent IQ.
The current technology policy distinguishes recognized Global Privacy Control signals where applicable from Do Not Track, which it says it does not honor. Neither signal should be treated as a written completion report for all information held.
Verification and processing: what to keep
Browser route exposes Submit and reCAPTCHA; mobile requires MAID; email requires address then emailed instructions.
No universal completion deadline verified; frequent client refresh is not a removal guarantee.
Retain the submission date, the contact address or form URL, the identifiers used, and any case number. Keep the provider’s acknowledgement separate from its completion response. An automatic email that says a case was received does not establish that the record was removed or that every requested action was accepted.
When the provider asks for more information, check that the message belongs to the case you opened. Ask what is missing and how to supply it securely. Do not repeatedly send unrelated documents to multiple addresses. A precise reply in the existing thread usually makes the record easier to follow.
Reappearance and follow-up checks
New browsers, changed devices or reset identifiers may require another request. Cookie-based choices depend on the relevant browser environment, while outside companies may use their own data sources.
Recheck the same record or environment first. Compare its identifying details with the request you submitted. A different email, employer, profile URL, or browser preference may explain why the later result is outside the original match. Ask the provider to clarify before describing the entire process as unsuccessful.
A practical privacy log can be brief: provider, relevant record, requested action, submission date, confirmation, and next check. Choose a reminder based on the response you receive. If no completion date is given, ask for one instead of treating a historical average or another provider’s deadline as a promise.
Connect this request to the next useful cleanup
Use the data broker opt-out list to track other providers and the opt-out topic hub to find current instructions. The broader manual data broker removal guide explains how to organize a multi-provider cleanup.
Relevant follow-up workflows are IDMAP identifier requests, Tapad device-data opt-out, and LiveRamp privacy choices. Use each only when it matches a separate exposure; one provider’s confirmation does not serve as proof about another database.
For wider exposure checks, run a free broker scan. If recurring follow-up would help, compare the scope and cadence of services in the data removal comparison hub. A scan is a starting point, not proof that every private database was searched.
Intent IQ opt out FAQ
Do I need to submit my name and postal address?
The public mobile and email flows we inspected ask for the relevant identifier. Intent IQ describes its technology as device-based. Do not add unrelated documents unless the provider explains a legitimate verification need.
Does the email submission finish the opt-out?
The email page says it sends instructions for properly opting out. Treat the initial submission as the start of that flow, then follow and retain the actual email response.
Can the website find my mobile advertising ID?
Intent IQ says it cannot automatically detect the MAID through its page. You must provide it. If you cannot retrieve it, ask the privacy contact about supported alternatives rather than inventing a value.
Will this remove all ads?
No. The request concerns the provider’s identifiers and use of its device map. Other advertising and data sources can remain, and continued ads alone do not prove that this request failed.
Do I need to repeat the browser request?
The provider explicitly says to repeat the process on each browser and device you want covered, and after switching to a new one. Keep a simple list so a completed request is not mistaken for coverage of every environment.
Sources and verification notes
Intent IQ official request instructions and the official privacy policy were checked on September 10, 2026. Screenshots document public instructions only. Request timing, eligibility, exceptions, and identity checks remain subject to the provider’s current process.
These are practical instructions based on the cited provider material, not an individual legal assessment. If a request is denied, keep the reason and consult the relevant regulator’s official guidance for your location. Do not assume that a request available in one jurisdiction has identical terms everywhere.
