Place Exchange Opt Out Guide: Device and Privacy Rights

A Place Exchange opt out can stop use and sharing of covered device observation data and can support a deletion request. Use the official deletion and do-not-sell form, then apply the advertising and location choices on the mobile device that generated the identifier. Place Exchange says it receives observation data from data providers rather than collecting it directly from consumers or devices. A request can require device attestation or other verification, and a reset advertising identifier can require another submission. Save the result and recheck the device settings.

Last checked August 28, 2026. Provider policies, forms, device menus, and legal-right availability can change. Start from the current official page rather than an old third-party form.

How to complete the place exchange opt out

1. Open Place Exchange's official deletion and do-not-sell form on the mobile device or browser relevant to the request.
2. Choose the do-not-sell or sharing opt out, deletion request, or other available right that matches your goal.
3. Complete the device-attestation or verification step if the form requests it. Do not substitute an unrelated email identity for a device-specific request.
4. Disable or limit ad personalization and location access in the mobile operating system for applications that do not need those permissions.
5. Save the confirmation and record the mobile advertising identifier or device state covered by the request without publishing it.
6. Recheck after processing and repeat the workflow if the advertising identifier is later reset or a new device is used.

Choose the right route before submitting

Do-not-sell and sharing choice

Place Exchange says it honors opt-out signals, stops using or sharing covered device observation data, and propagates the choice to partners. Use the current form and wait for the success state. A partner can still have an independent legal basis or a separate record, so review important applications and data providers as well.

Deletion and access requests

The form also supports deletion. The policy describes access and deletion rights, but explains that precise coordinates may not be returned in an access response when the company cannot reliably verify that detailed history belongs to the requester. Verification limits disclosure and can also limit the scope of a response.

Mobile device settings

Observation data can include a mobile advertising ID, precise location, and timestamp. Reduce future collection at the source by reviewing application location permissions and the operating system's advertising controls. Choose approximate or while-in-use location when that is sufficient for the app.

Verification and expected processing

The current privacy policy was last updated August 4, 2026. It says Place Exchange does not directly collect observation data from consumers or their devices; data providers send it. That structure is why a device identifier or attestation can be more useful than a name-only request.

Place Exchange lists privacy@placeexchange.com and 877-399-1184 as contact options. An authorized agent may act where allowed, but the company can require proof of authority and direct verification. Keep the form receipt and use the official contact if the request status is unclear.

The policy says mobile advertising identifiers and precise location can be kept for up to 16 months and then deleted. An opt-out can stop covered future use before the outer retention period expires, while deletion remains a separate request subject to verification and exceptions.

What the request changes and what it does not

Place Exchange operates advertising for public displays. The policy says the company does not target a specific individual on a public display. The privacy issue is still meaningful because mobile observation data can be used in audience measurement and advertising workflows.

The opt out applies to Place Exchange's covered use and sharing of the matched device data. It does not delete information held independently by applications, mobile-location providers, advertisers, or operating-system vendors. Apply app and device controls in parallel.

Reappearance is usually identifier based. A factory reset, advertising-ID reset, replacement phone, restored app permission, or newly linked provider data can create a new technical state. Review the settings after major device changes and keep a recurring check on the calendar.

Why the data or advertising choice can return

A privacy choice follows the identifier and scope described by the provider. Browser cookies can disappear, mobile advertising IDs can reset, and new devices can create new identifiers. Partners can also send later data. A successful request should therefore be treated as a dated result, not a permanent state.

Recheck the same browser or device after the provider's stated processing window, then again after one month. Repeat the check after clearing cookies, resetting a device, changing phones, or restoring application permissions. If the same identifier returns, use the saved confirmation in a focused follow-up.

Do not send repeated requests every day. That can create duplicate cases without clarifying scope. Confirm the original request, the covered identifier, and the current status first. Escalate through the policy's appeal or privacy contact only when the documented result does not match the stated choice.

Build the request into a broader privacy plan

Treat the provider choice as one layer of a wider exposure cleanup. Advertising and analytics companies can receive identifiers from many partners, while people-search sites publish a different type of profile. A request to one company does not notify independent recipients or erase their source records. Start with the data broker opt-out list and the manual data-broker removal guide to separate advertising controls from public-profile removals.

Keep a simple removal log with the provider, route, request type, browser or device covered, submission date, confirmation number, and next review date. That record prevents duplicate submissions and makes a later appeal or follow-up much easier. Use the opt-out guide hub to find the correct workflow for each provider.

Use only the information the official workflow requires. Confirm the domain before sharing an advertising identifier or identity details, and avoid sending identity documents through an unverified email address. A privacy request can require matching data, but that does not mean every field is necessary.

If you want a wider inventory before choosing manual targets, start a CrabClear privacy scan. A scan can help prioritize exposure, but every provider still controls its own verification, exceptions, and timing.

Related workflows include the Cuebiq opt-out guide, the Azira opt-out guide, and the Life360 Ads opt-out guide. Use them only when those services or identifiers appear in your own exposure.

Place Exchange Opt Out Guide FAQ

Does Place Exchange target me personally on a public display?

The current policy says Place Exchange does not target a specific individual on a public display. The opt-out still addresses covered use and sharing of device observation data.

Do I need to repeat the choice on another browser or device?

Usually yes when the workflow is browser, cookie, advertising-ID, or device based. Repeat it for each relevant environment and after a reset that creates a new identifier.

Can the provider ask me to verify my identity?

Yes for access, correction, deletion, or other rights that could reveal or change personal information. Use the official route and provide only the matching details it requests.

Can the data or choice reappear later?

Yes. A new identifier, cleared cookie, restored permission, later partner data, or an independent source can create a new record. Save the confirmation and schedule a measured recheck.
