Delete my Patreon account

Starting July 2020, Patreon no longer offers the previous“disable” feature. To close a Patreon account, users must submit their account for deletion through our Privacy center. Instructions for deleting your account can be found below.

Deleting your Patreon will erase all of your data from Patreon. Deleting your account is not a replacement for canceling a membership or any pending payments on your account. If you're a member, you can delete any active memberships you have and still keep your account. 

Are you a creator who doesn’t want to run a membership anymore?

You can unlaunch your Patreon and keep your account as a member.

If you no longer want to receive emails about your creators’ content or announcements from Patreon, you can unsubscribe from notification emails.

1. Important! Once your account is submitted for deletion, it can take up to 30 days to process your request. We recommend canceling all active memberships prior to submitting your account for deletion
2. Visit our Privacy policy center and click the Make a Privacy Request button
3. Select the option to Erase your personal data from our systems
   
   
4. If you are not logged in to your Patreon account, you’ll be asked to log in using your Patreon account credentials

Once you’ve submitted your account for deletion, it can take up to 30 days for your data to be erased and for your account to be fully deleted. Our data deletion partner, Transcend, will send email communication to the account email about the status of your deletion request.
