If you’ve decided to move on from the platform, we’ll provide you with all the information you need to delete your account securely and permanently.
Once you delete your FetLife account, you won’t be able to recover it. Ensure that you have backed up any data or information you want to keep before proceeding.
How to Delete Your Fetlife Account
Step 1: Log in to Your Account
Begin by visiting the FetLife website and logging in using your username and password. If you are already logged in, proceed to the next step.
Step 2: Access Your Account Settings
Once you’re logged in, navigate to the top-right corner of the page, where you’ll find the small arrow next to your username. Click on it to reveal a drop-down menu, and select “Settings” from the options.
Step 3: Go to the “Delete Account” Page
In the Account Settings page, scroll down until you find the “Delete Account” section. Click on the “Click here” link to proceed to the next step.
Step 4: Provide a Reason for Deletion
FetLife will prompt you to provide a reason for deleting your account. This step helps them understand user feedback and improve their platform, but it is optional.
Step 5: Confirm Account Deletion
Once you’ve provided a reason (or skipped the previous step), FetLife will ask you to enter your password to confirm the deletion. Enter your password and click on the “Delete Account” button.
Step 6: Account Deletion Confirmation
Congratulations! You have successfully initiated the account deletion process. FetLife will send you an email confirming your account deactivation. Please note that it may take a few days for the deletion process to be completed.
During this waiting period, your account and profile will be hidden from public view, but it is essential to avoid logging in during this time. Logging in will reactivate your account, and you’ll need to start the deletion process from the beginning.
Keep in mind that even after your account is deleted, certain information may still be retained by FetLife for legal, security, or operational purposes.
