You can delete your HeedYou account and erase your data at any point. Your login history, consisting of IP addresses and user-agent strings, payout history, consisting of your email and name as shown by a payout processor and, in some cases, your email address will be stored indefinitely. This is required to ensure that you can't keep deleting your account and starting over again and again if you breach the terms. If your account is suspended for breach of terms it will be deleted automatically after 1 year unless you can provide a valid reason for restoring it during that time. If you stop using HeedYou for 1 year, your account will be suspended and then deleted for inactivity shortly after.
