How do I delete my account?

Last updated: 3 months ago

If you need to close your Cathopic account, you can do so from your account settings. This will deactivate your account immediately, but you will have 30 days to change your mind and reactivate it before your data is permanently deleted.

Important: 30-day deactivation period

When you close your account:

  • Your account is deactivated immediately – You will be logged out and cannot access Cathopic

  • Your subscription is canceled – No further charges will be made

  • You have 30 days to reactivate – Simply log in again with your email and password to restore your account

  • You will receive reminders – We will send you emails at 30, 7, and 1 day before permanent deletion

  • After 30 days, deletion is permanent – All your data (personal information, collections, favorites, download history) will be permanently deleted

What remains after closing your account

  • Downloaded content remains valid – Any content you downloaded while your subscription was active can still be used according to our license terms

  • Licenses are perpetual – Your right to use previously downloaded content does not expire

How to close your account

  1. Go to Settings → Close Account

  2. Select a reason for closing your account (optional but helps us improve)

  3. Provide any feedback or suggestions for improvement (optional)

  4. Enter your current password to confirm

  5. Click "Close Account" to deactivate

How to reactivate your account (within 30 days)

If you change your mind within 30 days:

  1. Go to cathopic.com/auth/sign-in

  2. Enter your email and password

  3. Log in as usual

  4. Your account will be automatically reactivated with all your data restored

Note: Your subscription will not be automatically reactivated. If you want to continue using PRO features, you will need to subscribe again.

What happens after 30 days

After 30 days of deactivation:

  • You will receive a final notification email

  • Your account and all associated data will be permanently deleted

  • You will no longer be able to reactivate your account

  • If you want to use Cathopic again, you will need to create a new account

  • Previously downloaded content remains valid under the license

Alternative: Cancel your subscription instead

If you are not sure about closing your account, consider canceling your subscription instead. This will:

  • Stop all future charges immediately

  • Keep your account active with all your collections and favorites

  • Allow you to reactivate your subscription anytime

  • Let you continue accessing free resources
