Mercury updated its privacy policy contact email addresses, changing from a legacy email address to help@mercury.com across four key sections: cookie opt-out inquiries, privacy rights requests, parental inquiries about minors' data, and general contact. The operational effect is that users seeking to exercise privacy rights, request data access, or report concerning data collection must now use the updated email address.

What this means for you

The updated policy establishes a single, unified contact email (help@mercury.com) for privacy-related inquiries including cookie opt-out requests, data access and deletion requests, and parental concerns about minors' data. Users who previously contacted the legacy email address should update their records to use the new email address for privacy requests to ensure proper routing and response.

What you can do

Update saved contact information to use help@mercury.com for privacy requests, cookie opt-out inquiries, or concerns about data held about minors.

Key Clauses Affected

Contact for privacy requests and opt-outs

Four privacy-related contact pathways now direct to help@mercury.com instead of the legacy email address.
