# How do I delete my account?

### T**he Short Answer**

Because we provide state-approved licensing courses, we are legally required to maintain certain student and financial records. While we can disable your login access and remove you from marketing lists, **we cannot fully purge your student record or transaction history** until the state-mandated retention period has passed.

### **Why can’t my data be deleted immediately?**

- **State Audit Requirements:** As a provider of state-approved education, we must maintain proof of your course completion and student records for audit purposes by the state licensing board.
- **Tax & Accounting Compliance:** For all paid accounts, we are required by law to retain financial transaction records for federal and state tax purposes.

### **What we can do for you**

If you no longer wish to use the platform, you can request to have your account **deactivated**. This ensures:

1. **Access Removal:** Your login credentials will be disabled, and you will no longer be able to access course materials.
2. **Communication Opt-Out:** You will be removed from all non-essential mailing lists and marketing notifications.
3. **Data Security:** Your information remains stored on our secure servers, accessible only for legal or regulatory compliance.

### **How to request deactivation**

To deactivate your account, please use the chat widget and enterthe email address associated with your account. Please include "Account Deactivation Request" in the message.
