How long does it take Kochava to remove my information?

Not specified; opt-out adds you to a permanent blacklist barring future use

Is the Kochava opt-out free?

Yes — Kochava's own opt-out is free. It's the time, the verification steps, and the re-listing that make people hand it to a removal service.

Does opting out of Kochava cover its sister sites?

Kochava shares a network with Collective Data Solutions (CDS). SUBJECT TO FTC ENFORCEMENT: FTC sued Aug 2022; proposed settlement filed May 2026 bans selling sensitive location data without affirmative express consent. Class-action settlement granted final approval Nov 13, 2025 (2-yr injunction, 'privacy block,' opt-out blacklist). Data-broker business now under Collective Data Solutions. Strong content angle.

Do I still need to opt out of Kochava if I use Delist?

No. Delist files the Kochava opt-out for you, along with the other brokers that carry your information, and re-checks that it stays down.

Why removing Kochava isn't one-and-done

Per the Nov 2025 class-action settlement and the May 2026 FTC settlement, opting out places you on a blacklist preventing all future use (incl. ML). Raw location data already sold/licensed persists. Opt-out is device/MAID-specific — new device requires re-opt-out. Legacy SDK data retained for Kochava's own benefit to be deleted.

Delist re-checks confirmed removals and re-files when a record comes back, so you don't have to watch Kochava yourself.
