Delete your account

You can delete your Feedjolt account at any time. The deletion is immediate and irreversible.

What gets deleted

• Your user record - email, name, avatar, sign-in methods.
• All posts, comments, votes you authored.
• Any workspaces you own, including everything in them: members, boards, posts, comments, votes, integrations, files. Members of those workspaces lose access immediately.
• All personal data: email preferences, sessions, audit log entries naming you.

What survives:

• Anonymized audit log entries in workspaces you didn't own. (Required for compliance - we keep the timestamp and event type but not your identity.)
• Aggregated data in our internal metrics - no PII, just counts.

What does NOT get auto-deleted

If you're a member (not owner) of someone else's workspace:

• The workspace continues to exist (it's not yours to delete).
• Your posts and comments stay but are reattributed as "Deleted user".
• Your votes stay as anonymous votes.
• You're removed from the member list immediately.

If you want your posts/comments removed too, do that before deleting your account.

How to delete

1. Dashboard -> Settings -> Danger zone -> Delete account.
2. Type your email to confirm.
3. Click Delete permanently.

You're signed out immediately. Within ~60 seconds, all listed data is gone from our database.

We do not offer a grace period, "trash" folder, or "deactivate without deleting". If you want to take a break, just sign out.

What if I own a workspace I want to keep?

Transfer ownership first:

1. Workspace -> Settings -> Members.
2. Promote another member to OWNER.
3. Then delete your account from your personal settings.

You can't delete an account that's the sole owner of any workspace. The dashboard will tell you which workspaces and ask you to transfer first.

GDPR / data portability

Before deleting, you can export your data:

Dashboard -> Settings -> Privacy -> Export my data.

You get a ZIP with:

• A JSON file of your user record.
• A JSON file of every post, comment, and vote you authored.
• A folder of every file you uploaded (logos, attachments).

Export takes a few seconds for small accounts; up to ~10 minutes for accounts with thousands of posts. You'll get an email when it's ready.

Rate limits

Account deletion is rate-limited to 3 per hour per IP to prevent abuse. (You'll only ever do this once, but bots might try.)

Trouble?

If you can't sign in to delete your account (e.g., lost access to your email), email [email protected] with "delete my account" and the email on file. We'll verify identity another way and handle it manually.
