Should I use a paid removal service?

It can save time, but it is not required for every step. You can start with the script and tracker here.

Should I reset my advertising ID?

Yes, if your phone allows it. Also limit app tracking and location access. That reduces new signals.

Does Floriva stop data broker exposure?

No app can clean up all broker data. A period tracker that keeps basic data on your phone may create fewer new clues, but only if the app works that way today.

Period Data Broker Opt-Out Starter

A starter script and tracker for reducing reproductive health data broker exposure from location data, app tracking, ad IDs, and broker profiles.

Data broker cleanup is annoying because there is no single switch. Start with the data you can control today. Then send opt out requests where you can find a broker record.

This starter does not promise full removal. It gives you a script, a tracker, and a repeat plan.

1. Cut off new phone signals

Do these first. They reduce new data that may feed broker profiles.

Turn off precise location for apps that do not need it. Turn off background location for weather, shopping, games, and social apps unless you need it. Reset your advertising ID. Turn off app tracking where your phone allows it. Remove old period apps you no longer use after export and deletion requests. Use the phone period data audit to find health data leftovers.

The FTC has brought cases about sensitive location data, including data tied to clinic visits. That is why location comes first.

2. Make your broker list

Start with brokers you can name. Do not try to finish the whole internet in one day.

Broker or site Why check it Opt out URL Request sent Reply Repeat date People search site found by name search Home address and relatives State data broker registry result Registered broker Ad or marketing broker you find in privacy policy App or web tracking Location broker named in FTC action Location data risk

Search your name, phone number, and old email. Also search your state data broker registry if your state has one.

3. Send the opt out script

Use this for brokers with a privacy contact.

text Subject: Opt out and deletion request

Hello,

I am asking to opt out of the sale, sharing, profiling, and use of my personal data where the law gives me that right.

Please search for records tied to:

Name: your name Email: your email Phone: your phone Address: your current address Past address, if needed: old address

Please delete or suppress my personal data from your products when allowed. This includes location data, advertising IDs, health interest segments, inferred reproductive health interests, and any profile tied to the identifiers above.

If you cannot delete a record, please tell me:

1. What data you will keep. 2. Why you will keep it. 3. Whether it is sold, shared, or used for ads. 4. How I can appeal or limit its use.

Please confirm when the opt out is complete.

Thank you, your name

Do not send more personal data than the broker needs to find the record. If a broker asks for ID, check whether the request is normal for that broker and whether the upload page is secure.

4. Track replies

Use this table for each broker.

Broker Date sent ID required Data found Removed or suppressed Data kept Next check

Save each confirmation. Brokers may reacquire data later, so set a repeat date.

5. Check app policies for broker language

For any period, fertility, pregnancy, health, shopping, or coupon app, search the policy for:

data broker advertising partner marketing partner location data precise location share sell segment interest analytics

If the app shares location, ad IDs, or health interests, ask whether you can opt out. If the answer is unclear, treat it as a concern.

6. Choose lower data tools going forward

Opt outs clean up part of the past. They do not stop new data from being made.

Use fewer apps with precise location. Keep health notes out of ad supported tools when you can. Pick a period tracker that does not need an account for basic use if that fits your needs.

Floriva may help if you want a lower data period tracking setup. It does not erase broker profiles. It may limit some new app signals if you keep data local and avoid extra sharing.
