Foursquare: data broker profile and opt-out route
This record explains how to contact Foursquare, what the catalog currently records about its request workflow, what information may be needed to match a record, and what evidence to keep. It is a source-backed routing reference—not proof that Foursquare accepted, processed, or completed a request.
Quick answer
To request removal from Foursquare, use the recorded provider route at app.foursquare.com ↗. The catalog currently records Both as the request method, an estimated processing time of Foursquare's 2025 privacy report states a median of 9 days for opt-out requests and 10 days for deletion requests; these are aggregate metrics, not an individual SLA., and latest evidence dated 2026-08-13.

How to use this Foursquare opt-out record
- 1
Open the provider route and confirm that it matches Foursquare and the type of record you want to address.
- 2
Prepare only the matching information the provider asks for. The catalog records required fields as Mobile Advertising Identifier (Apple IDFA Or Android Advertising ID) For The Current Sale/Sharing Or Sensitive-Data Opt-Out Form, Requested Privacy Action, Account Access For In-Product Data Export Or Deletion Where Applicable.
- 3
Review the request, submit it yourself, save any confirmation, and re-check the source listing after the provider window. A prepared draft is not a completed deletion.

Identity and verification boundary
Provider-specific expectation: The sale/sharing opt-out form requires a mobile advertising identifier. Other privacy requests may require account access or additional information to verify the request; provide only the minimum needed.
Government-ID expectation: No universal government-ID requirement is stated on the cited current routes.
Do not attach a government ID or other sensitive document unless the provider's current instructions require it for the request you are making. Redact unnecessary fields where the provider allows it.
