Here’s how to opt out of each kind of data collection: in the app, on our website and on your phone.
Opt out of 1SE app analytics (iOS only)
Tap the Profile tab, then the settings icon at the right. Tap Account Settings > Analytics and choose the access level you prefer.
Opt out of 1SE location permission
On iOS
In your phone's Settings, tap Apps (at the bottom), then 1SE > Location, and choose the access level you prefer.
On Android
There is nothing to turn off. 1SE on Android does not ask for location, because you type it in by hand (see Why is the location not being added to my snippets?), so none is collected from your device.
Limiting location access stops 1SE from adding your snippets' location as a caption.
Opt out of 1SE browser cookies

Opt out of 1SE marketing & promotion emails
At the bottom of every marketing email there is an unsubscribe link. Select it and confirm, and you're removed from our list.
Opt out of 1SE completely (account deletion)
You must delete your account if you want to opt out of 1SE. This deletes everything tied to you and can't be undone. See How to Delete Your Account.
Opt out of device ad-tracking
Apple and Google offer ways to opt out of interest-based advertising, also known as personalized ads. These ads use collected data about you to deliver targeted ads based on your interests and internet usage.
On iOS
In your phone's Settings > Privacy & Security > Apple Advertising > Personalized Ads. Toggle it off.
On Android
In your phone's Settings > Google > All Services > Ads > Opt out of Ads Personalization. Toggle it off, then tap Reset advertising ID.
You can read the details at Apple’s help article and Google’s help article on controlling personalized ads.
Opt out of interest-based advertising (personalized ads) from multiple companies

Check WebChoices to see whether your browser is compatible with its opt-out tool, then choose which ad companies to opt out of: WebChoices opt-out tool.
You can send your identifier email address to the companies listed to opt out of or revoke its use for interest-based advertising: YourAdChoices token page.
Opting out stops interest-based ads; it doesn't block ads.
