Notes

The easiest method is to submit a Data Subject Access Request at their [DSAR Privacy Portal](https://dsar.humblebundle.com/) to request account deletion. Alternatively, you can also [submit a support request](https://support.humblebundle.com/hc/en-us/requests/new) for account deletion. In the linked page under "What can we help you with?" select "Humble Bundle Account" ⮕ "Delete Account", fill in your email, enter "Account deletion" as subject, add your honest reason for account deletion in the message, and submit. Someone from support should contact you and guide you further.

FAQ

Can I delete my Humble Bundle account permanently?

Many services support permanent deletion, but some only allow deactivation or partial deletion. Follow the official flow and keep confirmation records.

How long does deletion take?

It varies. Some accounts delete instantly, while others have a waiting period (often 7-30 days).

What if I can't find the delete option?

Try the official link on this page first. If it fails, look for settings like 'Privacy', 'Account', 'Close account', or 'Deactivate', or contact support.

Will my data be removed from backups?

Some providers retain data in backups for limited periods. Policies differ; check the service's privacy policy for retention timelines.

Why is there a waiting period?

Some services use a grace period (7-30 days) to prevent accidental deletions. You can usually cancel within this window.

What happens to my data during the waiting period?

Your data remains accessible but is scheduled for deletion. You can often restore your account by logging in during the grace period.

How do I make sure my deletion request goes through?

Avoid logging in during the grace period as it may cancel your request. Mark your calendar for the final deletion date and verify afterward.
