As a user I want to fully delete my account from eventful so that I’m sure my details are safe
Unfortunately there’s no delete account functionality in eventful, in the FAQ they explain:
How do I cancel/delete my account?
Unfortunately, we don’t have the functionality in place to delete or cancel accounts. You can unsubscribe from any emails you’re receiving, however.
Currently, the best solution to this problem is to do the following yourself:
- Log in to Eventful.com and click on your username (upper right corner). This brings you to your profile page.
- Click on every event, performer, venue, group and calendar which you have created, joined, favorited, friended, or commented on.
- Delete comments, withdraw demands, events, performers, calendars, leave groups, and unfriend users.
- Go to your user’s preferences and change your email address to something unrecognizable
- Delete any saved locations inside your preferences as well.
- Remove any description or interests from your public profile section in the user’s preferences.
This lengthy process effectively removes any activity you’ve done throughout our system. There is still a small chance you may show up in certain situations, and your profile will still be accessable and visible.
If you would like, you can then re-join under a different username. (back to top)
That’s terrible!
We always say that is the customer that has to prioritize the stories to implement, this story is clearly important but from a user point of view, never underestimate this!
