In this post, we’ll cover what AtData is and provide step-by-step instructions on How to Opt Out of AtData.
What is AtData?
AtData, formerly known as TowerData, is a data company that provides marketers with information about consumers. According to their website, they claim to provide “an easy way to get the most accurate and current information about consumers.” AtData primarily collects data about your online activity. Some of the ways they collect data are through surveys, online forms, and cookies. They then sell this information to third-party advertisers who use it to create ads and marketing campaigns targeted at you.
There are several reasons why you might want to opt out of AtData. First, you may not want your personal data to be collected and sold without your consent. Second, you may not want to receive targeted ads based on your personal data. Finally, you may simply want to protect your privacy. If any of these reasons resonate with you, then we recommend that you opt out of AtData.
