Account deletion is handled by our privacy team to protect your music and earnings.

## Before you request deletion

1. **Take down all your releases.** An account cannot be deleted while releases are still live in stores. See *How to Take Down a Release*.
2. **Withdraw your wallet balance.** See *How to Withdraw Your Earnings*.
3. **Cancel your subscription** in **Settings → Billing**.

Royalties can keep arriving for 1–3 months after a takedown, so consider waiting until your final earnings have been paid out.

## Requesting deletion

Email **privacy@distrovibe.com** from the email address of your account and ask for your account to be deleted. For your security, we verify your identity before processing the request.

Some records, such as financial and tax records, must be kept for a legal minimum period even after the account is deleted. See our Privacy Policy and the Data Protection page for details.

## Getting a copy of your data

You can also ask privacy@distrovibe.com for a copy of your personal data. It is provided in a machine-readable format (JSON).
