We provide account deletion through our Application Settings, please use the app if you want to delete your account. Here are the steps that you can follow.
- Review Account Information: Log in to the customer’s account and ensure they have access to all the necessary information associated with the account, such as email, username, or any other relevant details.
- Read Terms and Conditions: Advise the customer to review the platform’s terms and conditions or privacy policy to understand the implications of deleting their account. It’s important to be aware of any consequences or data loss that may occur.
- Backup Important Data: If the customer has any data or content they want to keep, encourage them to download or back up that information before proceeding with the account deletion process. Once the account is deleted, they may lose access to this data permanently.

- Select Reason (Optional): Inform the customer that in some cases, they might be asked to provide a reason for deleting their account. This step is usually optional but can be useful for the platform’s feedback purposes.
