Remove a tracker and request data deletion

You removed a tracker and want your data gone too.

Verdict
Two separate steps

Revoking location permission stops future app access, but previously collected data may need a separate deletion request to the provider.

How to check

  1. End sharing and revoke device permissions.
  2. Uninstall the app if it is no longer needed.
  3. Use the provider’s privacy process to request deletion of held data.

Track three separate outcomes

New collection stopped

Confirm sharing and device permissions are off for the intended service.

Account or stored data deleted

Use the provider’s deletion process and retain its confirmation, if supplied.

Copies elsewhere

Recipients may retain information already seen; deletion at one provider cannot recall every copy.

The honest limit Check any shared recipients or exports that may persist outside the app.
