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
In account settings, choose Delete Your Account.
The dialog asks you to acknowledge what deletion means, and offers space for a reason if you care to leave one — read, not required.
Curate sends a confirmation email to your address. Nothing has been deleted yet.
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.
