What happens next?

  • Immediate deactivation: Your account will be deactivated immediately after you initiate deletion

  • 30-day grace period: After deactivation, your account and data will be permanently deleted after 30 days. If you change your mind during this period, contact our support team, and we can help recover your data

  • Permanent data removal: After 30 days, your data will be permanently erased and cannot be recovered

Making sense of it all

  • Account deactivation is immediate, but the deletion process takes 30 days

  • If you change your mind within the 30-day window, we can assist with recovery

  • Once the 30-day period ends, all data will be permanently lost
