Find every opt-out a privacy policy offers, and how to use it
Opt-out rights are the choices a privacy policy describes for limiting how your data is used: unsubscribing from marketing, turning off targeted advertising, refusing the sale of data or limiting tracking. They are often scattered between a rights section, a cookie notice and regional supplements, and each may have its own method. Ask Search+ which opt-outs the policy offers and how to use each, and read the cited passages.

How to find opt-out rights with Search+
- Upload the policy, cookie notice and regional sections
Upload them together, in whatever format you have them. Opt-outs for advertising and tracking are often in the cookie notice.
- Ask for every opt-out, then each method
Ask which opt-outs the policy offers, then ask how to use each one: a settings page, an email address, a web form or a browser signal.
- Ask about limits
Ask what the opt-out does not cover, such as service messages or de-identified data, and whether it applies only in some regions. Open the citations to check.

What to look for in opt-out terms
Marketing, advertising, sale and tracking opt-outs often work through different channels. List each one with its method.
Transactional and service messages usually continue after a marketing opt-out. Policies say so in a short sentence that is easy to miss.
Some opt-outs are offered only where the law requires them, and others everywhere. Read the regional sections that apply to you.
Advertising opt-outs may apply only to the browser or device where they were set. Check whether the policy says so.
Ask across all the uploaded notices in one question and the answer cites each document it used.
