After this point, your account may no longer be recoverable.

Delete Your Account

Permanently delete all personal data associated with your account. You will not be able to regain access to your account once it has been completely deleted. You will have a few days to contact the customer support team if you change your mind, but there’s no guarantee that your account will be recoverable.

Remember to verify your email!
