Deleting Your Account

The email-confirmed deletion request, what deletion removes, and what to know before you decide

Deleting a Curate account is deliberate by design: you ask, Curate emails you, and deletion happens only after you confirm from that email. This page explains the flow and — plainly — what you give up.

How Deletion Works

  1. In account settings, choose Delete Your Account.

  2. The dialog asks you to acknowledge what deletion means, and offers space for a reason if you care to leave one — read, not required.

  3. Curate sends a confirmation email to your address. Nothing has been deleted yet.

  4. Follow the link in that email to confirm, and deletion proceeds.

The email step is the safeguard: an account can't be deleted by whoever happens to be at an open browser tab.

What Deletion Removes

Everything, permanently: your account, every tasting note, your photos, and any recordings and transcripts from blind tasting sessions. Active subscriptions are cancelled as part of the process. Deletion is irreversible — there is no recovery window and no archive to restore from.

Wine definitions you contributed to the shared library remain part of it — they're shared infrastructure, not personal data — but your notes on them go.

Before You Decide

  • There is no data export. Curate currently has no self-service way to download your notes; deleting your account removes them rather than returning them. If that matters to your decision, it's worth knowing before, not after.

  • A subscription isn't an account. If the goal is only to stop paying, cancel from the billing portal instead — your library stays. See Subscription & Billing.

  • Privacy questions are governed by the Privacy Policy, and the Terms of Service cover the account relationship itself.
