How to remove yourself from Tapad
Tapad builds a cross-device identity graph that links the phones, tablets, and computers belonging to the same person so advertisers can target across all of them. It offers a browser cookie-based opt-out plus an email channel for requests. Tapad also routes opt-outs through the NAI and DAA industry tools.

Why removing yourself from Tapad matters
On Tapad, anyone can look you up — often for just a few dollars — and pull cross-device identity graph linking your phones, tablets, and computers for unified ad targeting. That is more than enough to target you with spam and phishing, fuel robocalls, or in the worst cases enable stalking, doxxing or identity theft. Removing your Tapad listing cuts off one of the easiest public sources of that data about you.
Opting out of Tapad is fairly straightforward, with one extra verification step — it works via browser cookie opt-out + email, and removals usually process in 5-10 minutes. It is free: under U.S. privacy laws Tapad has to honor opt-out requests, so never pay a "removal" fee. Have your details ready for the verification step, then re-check in a few weeks to make sure the listing stayed down.
