Delete Patreon

2026-03-01

I wanted to delete my Patreon account today, but there's no option for that. Instead, you have to file a ticket asking for them to delete your data. I did that, and they replied with an email:

We're unable to delete your data at this time due to overriding regulatory retention requirements.

What? No. This just makes we want to delete my account even harder!

I ended up sending them an email with the help of https://yourdigitalrights.org/d/patreon.com. It seems that under Florida law they have to honor the request.
