# Delete your account

> Permanently delete your Entire account, and cancel during the 7-day cooldown

You can permanently delete your Entire account from [entire.io](https://entire.io) at any time. This page covers what gets deleted, the 7-day cooldown, how to cancel, and what happens when deletion completes.

This is how you exercise your **right to erasure** (the "right to be forgotten") under the GDPR and similar laws. For what data we hold and how long we keep it, see the [Privacy Policy](https://entire.io/privacy).

## Before you start

When you open the delete dialog, Entire shows you a preview of exactly what will happen to your account. Review it before you confirm.

* **Permanently deleted** — your Entire account, your profile data, and the repositories connected to your personal account.
* **Access you'll lose** — your memberships in other organizations and any roles granted to you. You are removed from those organizations; the organizations themselves and their repositories are not deleted.

Your Git repositories are not touched. Checkpoint data lives on the `entire/checkpoints/v1` branch in your own repository, so deleting your Entire account does not erase it — delete that branch yourself if you want the transcripts gone. See [Security & Privacy](/security).

<Warning>
  You can't delete your account while you **own an organization**. Transfer
  ownership or delete each organization you own first, then delete your account.
  The dialog lists the organizations you still own.
</Warning>

## Delete your account

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open account settings">
    Sign in to [entire.io](https://entire.io), open your **Account** settings, and
    find the **Danger zone**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start the deletion">
    Click **Delete account**. Entire loads a preview of what will be deleted and
    which access you'll lose.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm">
    Type your GitHub username to confirm, then click **Delete my account**. If you
    still own an organization, resolve the blockers listed in the dialog first.
  </Step>

  <Step title="You're signed out">
    Your account is scheduled for deletion and you're signed out everywhere
    immediately. A 7-day cooldown begins.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## 7-day cooldown

Deletion is not immediate. Your account enters a **7-day cooldown** during which nothing is erased yet and you can still change your mind.

While the cooldown is running:

* You're signed out, and your access tokens stop working — you can't push new work or use the API.
* You can sign back in to cancel. Signing in **does not** cancel the deletion on its own — you have to click **Cancel deletion**.

### Cancel a pending deletion

<Steps>
  <Step title="Sign back in">
    Return to [entire.io](https://entire.io) and sign in. You'll see a banner:
    *"Your account is scheduled for deletion on \[date]."*
  </Step>

  <Step title="Cancel">
    Click **Cancel deletion**. Your account is no longer scheduled for deletion and
    full access is restored right away.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  Once the 7-day cooldown ends, deletion is **permanent and cannot be undone**.
  Erased data cannot be recovered.
</Warning>

## What happens when deletion completes

When the cooldown ends, Entire permanently erases your account and personal data across every region where we store it. We also ask the third-party services we use — such as our analytics and CRM providers — to erase your personal data. Those providers are listed on our [Subprocessors](https://entire.io/subprocessors) page.

## What we keep after deletion

We keep a small amount of information after deletion where the law requires it — tax, accounting, and security records. The [Privacy Policy](https://entire.io/privacy) lists what and for how long.

Repository content follows the repository, not your account: it is retained for as long as the repository exists on our services and is deleted when the repository (or the relevant history) is deleted.

## Other data requests

Deleting your account is the fastest way to erase your personal data yourself. To ask for a copy of your data, correct it, or move it somewhere else, email us.
