How do I opt out of Mozilla’s Data Removal Pilot?

This article is no longer maintained, so its content might be out of date.

If you have been invited to join the pilot and are not interested, you may opt out. Likewise, if you opt in to participate in the pilot, you may discontinue your participation.

By opting out at the beginning of the Data Removal pilot, you will return to the existing Firefox Monitor experience. No data outside of the existing functionality of Monitor will be stored about you.

By discontinuing your service once you have opted in using the data removal pilot, your data will be deleted from our servers and from our partner, Kanary.

Note: Opting out or discontinuing the service does not delete your Firefox Monitor account.
