How to delete your Quire account

About deleting your Quire account

Quire is a project management and collaborative task-tracking platform designed to help teams break down complex goals into manageable, hierarchical lists. By utilizing a tree-structure task system, Quire handles a significant amount of sensitive professional metadata, including project timelines, team communication logs, subtask assignments, and collaborative documents shared within workspaces.

Users may choose to delete their Quire accounts for various reasons specific to the platform’s utility. These include moving to a different project management ecosystem, dissolving a professional organization, or wanting to scrub historical task data after a project is completed. Deleting an account effectively severs access to the nested task lists and collaboration channels that define the Quire experience.

Common reasons to delete include:

• Transitioning teams to different software like Asana or Trello.
• Permanently closing a professional organization to prevent unauthorized data access.
• Reducing your digital footprint by removing legacy project data.
• Terminating individual subscriptions to avoid recurring billing cycles.

What happens to your data

When you initiate the deletion process in Quire, the service aims to purge the associated user profile and organizational data from its active production databases. However, because Quire acts as a collaborative hub, the interaction between your data and other users' workspaces may lead to complexities in removal. Quire collects specific data points that you should be aware of:

• Task hierarchies, subtasks, and project descriptions.
• Attachment history, including files uploaded to task cards.
• Comment streams and team mention metadata.
• User profile information, including email addresses and authentication tokens.

While active account data is deleted upon request, Quire may retain information within system backups for disaster recovery purposes for a limited duration. Furthermore, data shared within shared projects may persist on the accounts of other team members even after you have deleted your own profile.

Privacy considerations

Using Quire involves trusting the platform with your team's operational workflows. Quire employs tracking and analytics to understand user behavior, which can raise concerns regarding data profiling. When managing your privacy on this platform, consider the following:

• Ensure you export all essential project data before deletion, as Quire does not provide a recovery period once the account is purged.
• Review third-party integrations connected to your Quire account, as these services may have cached versions of your task data.
• Be aware that deleting your account does not retroactively remove data from external logs maintained for security audits.
• Regularly audit your shared folders to ensure no sensitive files are left accessible to team members before you close your account.
