Frequently Asked Questions

Is deleting a Change.org account the same as disabling it?

No. Disabling is temporary and reversible — you can do it yourself in Account Settings and reactivate later. Permanent deletion removes your account and all personal data, cannot be undone, and requires contacting Change.org support.

I can only find the option to disable my account — where is the delete option?

Disabling is the only self-service option. Permanent deletion is done by contacting Change.org support from the email associated with your account and clearly stating you want to permanently delete your account and all personal data.

How long does Change.org take to delete my account?

Change.org doesn't publish a specific timeframe — support processes your deletion request and confirms by email when it's complete.

Does deleting my Change.org account delete my petitions?

Not automatically. Your petitions remain active on the platform after your account is deleted unless you specifically request that they be deleted too — Change.org will reach out to confirm what you want done with them.
