Your Xing account and its data are removed. Specifically: Loss of profile data; Loss of connections; Loss of access to Xing services.
Xing allows a recovery window of 30 days — if you change your mind within this period you may be able to restore your account. After that the deletion becomes permanent.
Xing does not publish a retention period for closed accounts. If the timeline matters to you, ask Xing support for written confirmation of when your data is removed, and what is retained for legal or accounting reasons.
Deleting your account means: Loss of profile data; Loss of connections; Loss of access to Xing services. Export or download anything you want to keep before you begin — it is normally not recoverable afterwards.
Xing 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 LinkedIn, Viadeo, Yatedo. If you are switching because of how Xing handles your data, check the replacement's retention and deletion policy before you migrate.
Xing is headquartered in Hamburg, Germany, which is the jurisdiction whose data-protection rules govern your account.
