Delete your account

Account deletion is a permanent operation. We give you a 30-day window where you can change your mind – after that, your data is purged from production and rolls off backups within 90 days. This article walks through the process and what's deleted.

Before you delete

If you just want to stop being charged, you don't need to delete your account – you can downgrade to Free. Delete is for when you genuinely want all your data gone.

Consider exporting first (see Export your data). Once deletion completes, we cannot recover anything for you, including for legal or compliance reasons.

If you're the workspace owner

Deleting your account also deletes the workspace – and everything in it, for everyone. If your workspace has other members, you have two options:

1. Transfer ownership to a teammate first (Settings → Team → Transfer ownership). Then deleting your account only removes you, not the workspace.
2. Proceed with deletion. Every member is removed; every audit, keyword and integration is purged.

Delete

1. Go to Settings → Profile → Delete account (it's at the very bottom).
2. Click Delete my account.
3. Type DELETE into the confirmation field.
4. Click Confirm. Your account is queued for deletion.
5. You're signed out immediately. Your data goes into a 30-day soft-delete state.

The 30-day grace period

During the 30 days, you can sign back in with your original credentials. We surface a banner asking whether you want to reactivate or proceed. Reactivating restores everything as if you never clicked delete.

After 30 days, we run the actual deletion job. Your records are removed from the production database. Audit logs of administrative actions (who deleted what, when) are kept in a separate compliance store for 12 months for security investigations.

Backups

We retain encrypted backups for 90 days for disaster recovery. After deletion completes, your data is removed from the active database but remains in backups for up to 90 days. Backups are never restored except to recover from total infrastructure failure – your data isn't accessible to anyone, including us, during this period.

What's NOT deleted

A handful of things survive deletion for legal and compliance reasons:

• Invoice records (kept per tax law in our jurisdiction – varies, typically 7 years).
• Audit logs of who took what administrative action (kept 12 months for incident response).
• Email opt-out preferences (kept indefinitely so we don't re-spam you).

None of these contain SEO data – they're purely meta-records.
