A MNTN opt out can mean a browser advertising choice, a device setting, or a separate privacy-rights request. The official MNTN Privacy Policy identifies Device privacy settings, the NAI choice route, recognized browser choices, MNTN’s opt-out page, and privacyrights@mountain.com for broader rights. MNTN says it requires identity verification before responding to access, correction, erasure, restriction, or objection requests. Use the matching route below, save the result, and treat every browser and device as a separate scope unless the provider says otherwise.

Last checked August 27, 2026. Provider pages, forms, settings, and legal-right availability can change. Start from the current provider policy instead of an old form copied from another website.

How to opt out of MNTN

  1. Open MNTN’s Privacy Policy and find “Your Choices and Opting Out of Interest Based Advertising.”
  2. Use the privacy or advertising controls on the relevant phone, browser, streaming device, or connected television.
  3. Use the linked NAI choice route for participating advertising technologies. MNTN also says it follows supported browser Do Not Track settings.
  4. To withdraw consent, use MNTN’s linked opt-out route. For access, correction, erasure, restriction, or objection, email privacyrights@mountain.com.
  5. Complete identity verification, save the response, and repeat device-level choices after an advertising-ID reset or device replacement.

Choose the right request before submitting

Decide whether the goal is to stop personalized advertising, opt out of sale or sharing, access information, correct it, erase it, or withdraw consent. These actions are not interchangeable. A browser cookie usually covers one browser profile, while a mobile or CTV choice usually follows one device identifier.

Use the smallest amount of information the official route requires. Confirm the provider domain before entering an address, advertising identifier, or identity document. If the workflow returns a ticket, verification email, or appeal path, save it with the submission date and the covered device.

MNTN’s advertising service can receive IP addresses, cookie IDs, hashed email addresses, mobile advertising IDs, app activity, and device information from customers and advertising partners. The most relevant opt-out therefore depends on the identifier and environment involved.

The policy says interest-based ads can stop while contextual or other advertising continues. It also says data may still be collected with consent for purposes other than interest-based advertising after a choice is made.

MNTN publishes a rolling two-year retention period for service data measured from the last visit to a customer website. A person requesting erasure should use the rights channel rather than assuming the advertising preference alone deletes retained data.

Verification and expected processing

MNTN says it requires identity verification before responding to access, correction, erasure, restriction, or objection requests. Verification is a security checkpoint and a useful record. If no message arrives, check the entered address, spam folder, form status, and whether the provider expects a browser cookie or device identifier instead of a name.

No single completion time applies to every request. Timing depends on residence, request type, matching information, partner systems, and any statutory response period. Follow the deadline in the confirmation for your case. If none is stated, send a dated follow-up that includes the original ticket instead of opening several duplicate requests.

  • Save the request type, date, provider domain, and confirmation.
  • Record the browser, device, identifier, account, or household the request covers.
  • Complete verification promptly and retain the response.
  • Recheck the same environment first, then test other devices separately.

What changes after the opt-out

Advertising choices reduce interest-based selection for the relevant device or browser, while the rights email can cover erasure or other eligible requests. An advertising choice can reduce interest-based selection without stopping every advertisement, security event, measurement use, or contextual placement. An erasure request can also have lawful or operational retention limits. Use the narrow result stated by the provider.

Publishers, apps, operating systems, browsers, websites, and connected-device makers can maintain independent privacy controls. A request to one advertising platform does not update all of them. When the provider points to Apple, Android, browser, NAI, GPC, or CTV settings, handle each as a separate layer.

Why the choice can reset or data can reappear

Using another device or resetting its advertising identifier can require a fresh choice; data can still be collected for other consented purposes. Opt-out cookies are stored in the browser they cover, and device choices can depend on an advertising identifier. A provider may retain a limited suppression record so it remembers the preference. Removing that suppression record can make future matching harder.

Recheck after clearing cookies, reinstalling an app, replacing a phone, resetting an advertising ID, adding a browser profile, or configuring a new streaming device. New information can also arrive later from a different customer or partner, so compare any new exposure with the original request scope.

Broader privacy rights and a repeatable record

This guide maps the provider’s published controls and does not promise a particular legal outcome. Available rights depend on location, relationship with the provider, and the data involved. An access response can help identify what was matched before choosing correction or erasure.

For a broader manual workflow, use the data broker opt-out list and the guide to removing yourself from data brokers. Browse the opt-out guide hub for related provider instructions.

Keep a simple log with the provider, route, identifier scope, request type, date, confirmation, verification status, and next check date. That record prevents a browser-cookie choice from being mistaken for a device-wide erasure request.

You can also run a free data broker scan to find other exposed records. Related reading: Innovid opt-out guide, Samba TV opt-out guide, and FreeWheel opt-out guide.

Frequently asked questions

Does the MNTN opt out erase every record?

No. The result depends on the route selected. A personalized-advertising or sale choice can stop a defined use without erasing all retained information. Choose the provider’s erasure path separately when that is the goal and review any stated exceptions.

How do I know the MNTN request worked?

Keep the provider confirmation and recheck the same browser, device, or identifier. A changed ad experience is weak evidence because contextual ads can continue. A completed-request message, status page, or access response is stronger evidence.

Should I repeat the choice on another device?

Yes when the provider describes the choice as browser-specific, device-specific, or identifier-specific. Do not assume a desktop cookie covers a phone, connected television, separate browser profile, or reset advertising ID.

What if the official route changes?

Return to the current provider privacy policy and follow its privacy-center or rights link. Compare the new route with the saved confirmation. If the form is unavailable, use the published privacy contact and include the original ticket without sending more personal information than needed.
