Matchbook Data Opt Out: Device ID and Deletion Steps

To opt out of Matchbook Data, use Your Privacy Choices and provide the relevant Device ID and a contact email. The page also lists privacy@matchbookdata.com and +1 (855) 716-3196. Request deletion separately: restricting future use or sale of a device’s data is different from asking to erase previously collected information.

Matchbook Data opt out quick facts

Use Matchbook Data official privacy request instructions as the starting point. The instructions and public evidence were checked September 12, 2026. No consumer request was submitted, so this guide reports the documented process rather than a tested removal result.

How to submit your Matchbook Data request

1. Open Matchbook Data’s official privacy policy and follow Your Privacy Choices. The older opt-out-form address redirected to the same choices page during our check. Confirm the provider name before entering device information.
2. Identify the Device ID used by the relevant app or data flow. Matchbook says this can be an Advertising ID or an Installation ID. Check the app’s privacy support screen; if it does not show the ID, use the app publisher’s support route to ask which identifier it shares with Matchbook.
3. Enter the identifier in Device ID and supply an email where Matchbook can report on your request. Both public form fields are required. An email alone may not identify historical device-location data, so do not replace an unknown ID with an unrelated phone serial number.
4. Submit the form for the opt-out described on the page, or send the request to privacy@matchbookdata.com. The policy gives Data Transfer Opt out as an email subject for stopping sales. The choices page also provides the toll-free number if you need help.
5. For deletion or access, use the email or telephone route and state that action explicitly. The page treats deletion as a separate request and describes requests to recipients to delete data from their commercial databases, subject to permitted retention.
6. Keep the device identifier, contact channel and request date in a private log. Ask what was matched, whether future use or sale is restricted, and how any deletion request was handled. We inspected the public form without sending an actual device record.

Choose the scope before sending personal information

• Device opt-out: limit the collection, use and sale described by Matchbook’s choices page.
• Deletion: explicitly ask about existing device data and downstream deletion requests; the form’s general title is not a deletion confirmation.
• Browser advertising controls: industry cookie preferences concern browser-based advertising and do not replace the device-identification route.

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

Matchbook’s notice describes location-related data services using Advertising IDs, IP addresses and other information. A request needs to match the identifier in that system. This is why the provider directs users to an app’s privacy support screen or publisher instead of offering a public name-search result to remove.

The choices page explains that restricting or zeroing out an Advertising ID can stop future identification while preventing Matchbook from connecting the new state to an old identifier. Changing device settings therefore does not prove historical information was deleted. If you already changed them, explain that fact and ask which matching options remain available.

The provider says an Installation ID may be used in some apps and that it does not use that type of identifier for advertising purposes. Do not treat Advertising ID and Installation ID as interchangeable strings. Supply the type used by the relevant app and avoid posting either identifier publicly.

The privacy page includes older device-menu examples and legacy website wording. Use current settings on your own operating-system version instead of relying on an exact historical menu path. The verified provider form and privacy@matchbookdata.com remain the practical request routes described here.

Verification and processing: what to keep

Device ID and email required in the public form; app support may help identify the correct ID.

No fixed completion time appears beside the inspected form.

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

A replacement device, reset advertising identifier or separate app installation can create a different match; browser-cookie resets and independent data recipients are additional scopes to check.

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 Cuebiq instructions, Unacast instructions, and Azira instructions. 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.

Matchbook Data opt out FAQ

Can I submit only my email address?

The public form requires a Device ID as well as email. The provider says it needs the device identifier to process the opt-out. Ask the app publisher or Matchbook for help if you cannot identify it.

Is a phone serial number the right Device ID?

The page specifies an Advertising ID or an Installation ID used by the relevant app. It does not instruct you to send an arbitrary hardware serial number. Confirm the identifier before submitting.

Does resetting an advertising ID delete old data?

Not necessarily. Matchbook explains that zeroing an ID can prevent future identification but also stop it from linking your device to previously collected information. Request historical deletion explicitly.

Can Matchbook retain some information after deletion?

Its page describes permitted retention exceptions, including security-related purposes. Ask for the scope and reason of any retained information rather than assuming every request ends with complete erasure.

Will this unsubscribe me from marketing emails?

The policy has a separate email-unsubscribe option. A device-data opt-out and a sender’s communications preference solve different problems; use both only when each applies to your situation.

Sources and verification notes

Matchbook Data official privacy request instructions and the official privacy policy were checked on September 12, 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.
