Ketch and Meta Ads

Remove someone from every Meta custom audience they're in, and maintain a real-time opt-out audience without a manual export cycle.

About Meta Ads

Meta Ads runs campaigns off custom audiences built from identifiers like email and mobile advertiser IDs. Because those audiences are Meta's core targeting mechanism, a deletion request or consent opt-out only means something if it actually results in removal from every audience a person happens to be in, not just the one someone remembers to check.

Ketch connects to Meta Ads through a dedicated system user and access token to handle both.

Capabilities

How Ketch works with Meta Ads

The Ketch Meta integration covers Consent Orchestration and Rights Orchestration (Right to Delete).The connection itself runs through a Meta system user with a non-expiring access token, generated inside a Meta Business Manager account and scoped with specific permissions, rather than a per-session login.

Rights Orchestration

Fulfills Right to Delete by removing the data subject, matched on email or mobile advertiser ID, from every custom audience in Facebook Ads Manager.

Consent Orchestration

Creates dedicated opt-out custom audiences on installation (covering behavioral advertising and data broking) that update automatically: someone is added the moment they opt out, and removed if they opt back in.

With Ketch, teams can

  • Remove a person from every Meta custom audience they're in through a single deletion request
  • Maintain real-time opt-out audiences that update automatically as consent choices change
  • Connect through a stable, non-expiring system-user token rather than a session-based login that can lapse

The gap

The problem this integration solves

Meta Ads is built to run campaigns against audiences at scale, not to track which specific person should be pulled from every one of them. That mismatch creates a consistent set of gaps:

01. A deletion request has to reach every custom audience a person is in, not just one

02. Opt-out audiences that aren't actively maintained drift out of date the moment consent choices change and nobody updates the list

03. A connection built on a session login that can expire creates a silent failure risk: the integration stops working without an obvious signal that it has

Ketch resolves this by sweeping every custom audience on deletion, updating opt-out audiences automatically, and connecting through infrastructure (a system-user token) built not to lapse unexpectedly.

Why Ketch

Why teams choose Ketch for Meta Ads privacy compliance

Permissioning infrastructure that governs Meta Ads the same way it governs every other system in your stack — not a one-off connector bolted onto a banner.

  • Deletion that actually sweeps every audience

    Right to Delete removes someone from every custom audience in the ad account, not a single list.

  • Opt-out audiences that stay current automatically

    No manual export-and-upload cycle; the audience updates the moment a consent choice changes.

  • Backed by enforcement precedent

    The California Privacy Protection Agency fined Honda $632,000 over improperly configured data sharing with ad-tech partners, a reminder that custom audiences built for retargeting are exactly the kind of system regulators expect to see real opt-out enforcement against.
