Users may request access to, correction of, or deletion of their personal information at any time.
1. Account Deletion (Account Termination): You can permanently delete your account at any time via the "Delete Account" button at the bottom of the My Account page within the service. Once an account is deleted, recovery is absolutely impossible.
