If you just want to stop getting emails and pause activity, you can disable your account under Account Settings — but this is temporary and reversible.
For PERMANENT deletion of your account and all personal data, you must contact Change.org support directly at help@change.org.
In your message, state that you want to permanently delete your account under applicable data-protection laws (GDPR/CCPA) and include the email on file.
Confirm your identity when asked. Change.org will process the deletion request and confirm by email.
Deleting your Change.org account requires contacting Change.org support directly — there is no self-service delete button. After deletion: loss of account and personal data; petitions remain active unless you request their deletion.
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.
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.
Change.org doesn't publish a specific timeframe — support processes your deletion request and confirms by email when it's complete.
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.
The stated recovery window is 30 days. Once that passes the deletion is permanent and the account cannot be restored.
Deleting your account means: loss of account and personal data; petitions remain active unless you request their deletion. Export or download anything you want to keep before you begin — it is normally not recoverable afterwards.
Change.org is recorded as GDPR compliant and recorded as CCPA compliant. If you are in the EU or California you can also file a formal erasure request under GDPR Article 17 or the CCPA — that route creates a record you can follow up on, separately from the in-product delete flow.
Common alternatives include Care2, 38 Degrees, SumOfUs. If you are switching because of how Change.org handles your data, check the replacement's retention and deletion policy before you migrate.
