About This Opt-Out Process
Opting out of Firefox's data collection requires following a easy-level process that typically takes 10-15 minutes. The process may involve navigating privacy settings, submitting formal requests, and following up to verify data deletion. Under GDPR and CCPA, companies are legally required to honor valid opt-out and deletion requests within specified timeframes (typically 30-45 days).
After completing the opt-out process, use the following verification method to confirm your data has been removed: Visit a website and click the shield icon in the address bar to see trackers blocked by Firefox. Note that some companies may retain certain data required by law or for legitimate business purposes, even after an opt-out request. If your request is not honored within the legal timeframe, you have the right to escalate to your local data protection authority.
