Veraset Opt Out: Advertising ID, Deletion and Device Steps
Use the Veraset opt-out form to request deletion or stop data use. See required device identifiers, verification limits and when to repeat a request.
To opt out of Veraset, open its official Do Not Sell Request form, enter your name, email and device advertising ID, and select the rights you want to exercise. The form offers Opt Out and Deletion separately. Complete both choices if both match your goal; do not assume one label covers every action.
Veraset handles location and related device data. This is not a public people-search listing that you remove by finding a profile URL. Your advertising identifier matters because the request must match the device records. Veraset says it may ask for additional evidence that you control that identifier.
- Open Veraset’s official consumer request page.
- Identify the device advertising ID or ask the privacy team for an alternative.
- Choose Opt Out, Deletion or the other applicable checkboxes.
- Keep the request record and answer necessary verification.
- Repeat for other relevant devices and review permissions.
Choose the right Veraset request
| Goal | Official route or choice | Important boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Stop sale or related data use | Opt Out on the consumer form | Match each relevant device |
| Ask for existing information to be deleted | Deletion on the same form | Retention exceptions may apply |
| See or correct information | Access, know or correction choices | Verification may be required |
| Reduce new location collection | Device and app permissions | Does not itself erase previously supplied data |
| Address a supplier or client copy | That company's privacy process | Veraset describes them as separate controllers |
The Veraset request page says it extends its opt-out choice to residents of other US states as well as the states named on the page. Other rights depend on the applicable circumstances. Read its regional notices before treating every checkbox as an unconditional entitlement.
Open the form and identify the device
Use the provider-owned page rather than a third-party removal form. The visible intake requires first name, last name, email and Advertising ID. There is also a separate newsletter field further down the page; entering your email there does not make a privacy request.
The page includes device-specific directions for finding an advertising identifier. Android menus can vary, and an identifier may be unavailable if advertising controls have disabled it. The iOS directions mention an identifier utility. We did not install or assess that utility, so this guide does not endorse downloading it.
If you cannot retrieve a valid identifier, do not invent one or substitute your phone number. Ask privacy@veraset.com how to identify the affected records.
Explain which device or data type concerns you and ask what minimum information is needed. A missing advertising ID does not prove the company has no other data associated with you.
Select opt-out and deletion deliberately
The current form shows checkboxes for Opt Out, Deletion, Right to access, Right to know, Correction and Limited use of sensitive information. Review your selections before submitting. Use your own details or the proper authorization if you are acting for someone else.
Save the page address, submission date and request choices. If a confirmation appears or arrives by email, keep that record too. We inspected the unfilled form on November 2, 2026; we did not submit personal information or observe a completed request. A form acknowledgement should be recorded as receipt, not successful deletion.
This distinction is also useful when comparing the Venntel device-ID process. Similar identifiers can be involved, but each provider has its own request channel and matching procedure.
What verification and timing should you expect?
Veraset explicitly reserves the ability to confirm possession of the identifier. Check replies through the official domain and ask for a secure method if the provider needs more information. Keep the information proportionate to the matching problem rather than sending an unsolicited identity document.
The inspected form does not promise one universal completion date. Its general policy describes a separate processing period for promotional-email opt-outs; that is not a location-data deletion deadline. Ask for the response window applicable to your request and retain any extension or exception explanation.
A practical log should distinguish submitted, verification pending, accepted, completed and unresolved. If the provider cannot find a match, ask which identifier and data categories it checked. A no-match response for one device should not be treated as a check of your entire household.
Prevent new collection and understand reappearance
The Veraset privacy policy says opt-outs are device-specific and may need to be repeated after an advertising ID reset. Repeat the process for other devices you want covered. Review app location permissions separately so a removal request is accompanied by sensible controls on future collection.
Veraset describes suppliers and clients as independent controllers. A response from Veraset does not certify deletion from every app, customer or downstream recipient. If you know another organization has the same records, follow its own process. The Adsquare guide explains another identifier-based workflow without assuming the requests transfer between providers.
Keep a private list of the devices and identifiers used in your requests. Update it when you replace a phone or reset an advertising identifier. You do not need to publish that log or send the complete list to unrelated companies.
Check other exposure separately
Location-data requests and publicly searchable contact records need different checks. Use the data broker opt-out directory to find a named provider, or browse the opt-out guide hub for related instructions.
A free privacy scan can be a starting point for supported public exposures. It should not be treated as a direct audit of Veraset's non-public location datasets. For the broader sequence, see how to remove yourself from data brokers.
How to describe an identifier-matching problem
If the advertising ID is unavailable, explain that limitation directly: “I want to exercise a privacy choice for information associated with my device, but I cannot retrieve the advertising identifier requested by your form. Please explain the alternative matching process and the minimum information needed.” This is suggested wording, not an additional official form field or a promise that the provider can find a match.
If the concern is a hashed email rather than a location record, name that data type in the enquiry. The general policy discusses both. Keep the initial message concise and avoid attaching a full device backup, location-history export or contact list. After receiving instructions, record which identifier the company actually used so later follow-up does not confuse the enquiry with a completed opt-out.
Frequently asked questions
Can I submit only my email address?
The current form requires an advertising ID as well as name and email. If your concern involves another identifier, use the privacy contact to ask for the appropriate matching route instead of filling the advertising-ID field with unrelated information.
Do I need to find a Veraset profile page?
No public profile URL is requested in the inspected form. This workflow is based on identifiers and privacy rights, not a visible people-search record.
Will a new phone be covered automatically?
Do not assume that. The policy describes device-specific opt-outs. Review your request coverage after replacing devices or changing identifiers.
Does switching off location permissions delete old records?
That setting controls collection by the affected app or device going forward. Use the separate deletion request to address records already held, and review the provider's response for exceptions.
