Share Local Media policy separating mailing opt-out and deletion contact guidance on September 18, 2026

A Share Local Media opt out depends on what you want stopped: its Shared Mail Program has a mailing opt-out, while personal-data rights use a separate Individual Rights Request Form. Both linked forms were security-blocked during our check. The policy also directs questions about reviewing, modifying or deleting information to its contact details, including legal@sharelocalmedia.com, and publishes a privacy-request phone route.

The Share Local Media privacy policy, effective January 1, 2026, was checked on September 18. The guide follows its distinctions between provider information, mailing preferences, browser controls and Client Data. It does not invent fields hidden behind the current form security checks.

The policy covers Share Local Media sites and services, including its Poplar platform. We found no separate existing CrabClear guide owning this workflow. A new company-name article is useful here because “stop this mailing” and “delete my information” lead to different requests and limitations.

Choose the request that matches the problem

Shared Mail Program promotions

The policy points readers to the Opt-Out of Mailings page to remove an address from future Shared Mail Program mailings. It expressly says this does not cover every mailing the company facilitates for clients. Contact those clients about their own lists.

Personal information held by the provider

For access, deletion, correction and other eligible rights, the policy identifies the Individual Rights Request Form or its published phone route. The available rights depend on residence and other conditions. The general policy also offers a contact route for questions about reviewing, modifying or deleting information.

Online tracking and email preferences

Cookie choices concern browser or device tracking, and email unsubscribe links concern the relevant communications. Neither establishes that an identified postal address or other information held outside the browser has been deleted. Keep these choices separate in your request log.

Our guide to data brokers explains the distinction between a data supplier, a service provider and a company using its own customer list. The opt-out topic hub can help you identify which additional provider, if any, needs attention.

How to proceed while the forms are blocked

Start from the official policy and try the appropriate linked route in your own browser. During our inspection, both form domains displayed a security-verification page instead of request fields. That access limitation does not establish that the forms are unavailable to every visitor.

If you can open the form, read its current fields and instructions before sending anything. This guide cannot supply an exact field list or confirmation sequence for controls that were not visible. Do not rely on a third-party screenshot as proof that an older form remains current.

If the rights form remains unavailable, the policy explicitly lists (904) 543-3803 as a way to submit a privacy-rights request. Ask which information is needed to match your record and how you will receive an acknowledgement. No call was placed as part of this guide.

For review, modification or deletion questions, the policy directs readers to its contact section, which lists legal@sharelocalmedia.com. Explain the specific goal and the form-access problem. Ask the contact to review the request or confirm the correct submission route; do not assume this email replaces every separate sale/share or mailing control.

  • Identify whether the issue concerns shared mail, client mail or other personal information.
  • State the action you want, such as deletion or an address-level mailing preference.
  • Explain which official form failed to load and when.
  • Ask what minimum matching information is needed.
  • Request a reference number and the next verification step.

Keep the original correspondence. The manual data-removal checklist can help track a routed enquiry separately from an accepted formal rights request.

Information to prepare and verification limits

The policy says it may need extra information to verify identity or locate a record. It also says it may require account login where an account exists. That does not mean every mailing recipient needs to create a new customer account before making a request.

For a postal-mail issue, preserve the recipient name, address and sender information from the item you received. These details can help describe the problem when contacting the provider or advertiser. They are a preparation checklist, not a claimed reproduction of the blocked form’s required fields.

Do not include payment details or identity-document scans in an initial general enquiry. Ask the official contact to explain any sensitive verification requirement and the appropriate channel. Keep proof of the correspondence without publicly posting your own mailing label.

Authorized-agent requests have additional requirements in the policy, including written permission and, for some actions, direct identity verification. An agent should follow the provider’s current instructions. Knowing someone’s address is not a substitute for authorization to act for them.

Timing, refusals and what the response should explain

We did not submit a request or observe a completed removal. The inspected policy does not give one universal current completion time for every route and state. Its historical request metrics should not be treated as a promised turnaround for your case.

Ask for the timeline that applies to your chosen request and residence. Keep an initial receipt distinct from a final decision. A reply saying the request was forwarded is useful tracking information, but it does not establish that the target record or mailing preference was changed.

The policy says a request can be declined when identity cannot be verified or information cannot be located. It says it will explain a refusal to comply with all or part of a request. Ask for that explanation before sending a new batch of information to the same inbox.

The notice also describes an appeal route through the Individual Rights Request Form, depending on residency. If that route is inaccessible, ask the published privacy contact how to submit the appeal. Do not infer that a technical challenge waives the provider’s process or settles the legal outcome.

Why some mail or data can remain

The Shared Mail Program opt-out has a defined scope: the policy excludes client mailings from that particular preference. If a catalog or offer comes from a separate advertiser, ask that advertiser to handle its own mailing list. Preserve enough sender information to distinguish a new campaign from the one you addressed.

The policy also separates Client Data processed under customer agreements from information covered by its own notice. A request concerning a client-controlled record may need action by that client. This is why a blanket promise to stop all mail after one form would be misleading.

Browser opt-outs have another limitation: they may need to be set again after clearing cookies, changing browsers or using a new device. An offsite data-rights request and a cookie preference are different records of your choices, even when both use sale/share wording.

The Postie guide, Data Axle guide and Epsilon guide cover other marketing-data routes when those companies are relevant. These links do not imply that Share Local Media supplied your information to any of them.

For a broader inventory, see the data broker opt-out list. A free privacy scan can help identify supported public listings, but it does not prove that a private mailing-list entry exists or confirm the status of a Share Local Media request.

Frequently asked questions

Does the mailing opt-out delete all personal information?

The policy presents the Shared Mail Program preference separately from personal-data rights. Use the rights process if your goal is deletion, access or correction, and ask which records the response actually covers.

Can I use the email contact if a form fails?

The policy directs review, modification and deletion questions to its contact details and says requests will be reviewed. Email the published contact with your goal and access problem. Ask it to confirm handling rather than assuming every distinct request is completed by that message.

Is the current form field list verified here?

No. Both linked form sites showed security verification instead of their controls. We report the official routes and the policy’s contact alternatives, while leaving hidden fields and post-submission messages unclaimed.

Why might mail continue after a preference change?

Another company may control the mailing list, or the item may belong to a different program. Compare the sender and campaign with your original request. The provider’s policy expressly limits the scope of the Shared Mail Program opt-out.

Should I treat historical response statistics as a deadline?

No. A past reporting period does not establish your current processing time. Ask for the applicable timeline and retain the response. This guide does not claim a measured submission or completion result.

Sources and limitations

Checked September 18, 2026: the official privacy policy, its linked rights-request site and mailing-preference site. The policy screenshot supports the scope and contact guidance; screenshots of security screens were not used as form evidence. No personal request, phone call, account login or removal test was performed.
