How to Reset Your Advertising ID

Modified on Tue, 23 May, 2023 at 11:58 AM

One way that you can take action to have your data deleted is to reset your advertising ID, which will give your device a new anonymized ID so that any data collected about you going forward cannot be easily linked to any of the data about you collected in the past from advertising companies and analytics providers such as Flurry. Unless these providers have been able to link your usage data with you as an individual by sharing data with companies that collected your email address or phone number, then by resetting your advertising ID it effectively removes your data since it can no longer be linked to you in any way.

The instructions to do this are as follows:

On your Android device, go to Settings.
Tap Privacy > Ads.
Tap Reset Advertising ID and confirm your changes.

Note that after you do this it will be nearly impossible for us to help you get your usage data deleted from these systems, but it will also be near impossible for anyone to link the data collected to you as an individual.
