What is ADT's privacy policy?
The ADT privacy policy describes how ADT collects, uses, and protects personal information provided by customers. It covers data collected through the website, monitoring services, and the MyADT portal, including contact information, payment details, and device data.
What is ADT's cancellation or return policy?
Customers may cancel without penalty within 30 days of signing their contract. After that window, early termination fees apply. These are typically up to 75 percent of the remaining monthly charges under the contract. ADT does not accept cancellations by email. To cancel, call customer service at (800) 238-2727. ADT’s money-back service guarantee applies only when ADT has been unable to resolve a system-related issue within the first six months of service, and requires full equipment removal before a refund is processed.
What is ADT's accessibility policy?
ADT is committed to making its website, app, and services accessible to all customers, including those with disabilities.
