Delete Your Personal Account
If you no longer wish to have a personal account on SQUIZZ.com, then follow the steps below to permanently delete your account, sever all relationships with all people and organisations you had previously connected with. Note that this a permanent action and cannot be reversed once done.
Before doing so we highly recommend that you first do the following:
- For any organisations that you are an administrator of first assign another person with the Administrator role of the organisation, otherwise the organisation may become unmanageable. If no other person is connected to the organisation then either have a person connect personally to the organisation, if there is no other person who can manage the organisation (such as if your organisation is a sole trader) then delete the organisation entirely. This avoids the organisation be found and cannot be interacted with by other people and organisations.
- For any conversations you are assigned to, assign any other people relevant to those conversations. This allows those conversations to be accessed and carried on without you, ensuring they are still accessible if need be.
Note that when you delete your personal account from SQUIZZ.com all your personally identifiable information against your account will be deleted. However any personally identifiable information you previously shared with an organisation (such as within purchase and sales order transactions, feed posts) will still be stored and retained by the organisation, both within SQUIZZ.com platform's servers, as well as in that organisation's own business systems that holds that data. This historic data will be stored as per legal requirements with local government laws and regularions that your account was assigned against.
To permanently delete your personal SQUIZZ.com follow these steps:
- Login to the SQUIZZ.com platform from the Home page or mobile app.
- Click on your profile image or name within the top header bar to open the Personal Options menu.
- Click on the Delete From Squizz menu item.
- In the Are You Sure You Want To Be Deleted? dialog click on the OK button. An email address will be sent to your primary email address.
- Login/open your email inbox, within the email received copy the verification code.
- Back in the Are You Sure You Want To Be Deleted? dialog type the verification code and click on the Submit button.
Your personal account within SQUIZZ.com will be marked as deleted, all personal identifiable information will be deleted (except information previously shared with other organisations). All connections to other people and organisations on SQUIZZ.com will be removed. For any existing conversations, issues, feeds, and other shared aspects you were involved in your name will be replaced with the text "Person No Longer Exists".
We'll be sorry to see you go, but any time in the future you can sign up to SQUIZZ.com again and start again from scratch in utilising the platform.
