How to delete your Glo account

About deleting your Glo account

Glo is a specialized health and wellness platform focused on providing online yoga, meditation, and pilates instruction. By tracking your progress, favorite classes, and practice streaks, the platform builds a detailed profile of your physical activity and wellness habits. While this helps provide personalized recommendations, it also means your health and fitness metadata is stored on their servers long-term.

Users often choose to delete their Glo account to minimize their digital footprint or because they have moved to other platforms for their fitness routines. Deleting your account is the only way to ensure that your historical practice data is removed from their active databases. Key reasons to consider account deletion include:

• Preventing the long-term storage of sensitive health activity metadata.
• Reducing the risk of unauthorized access to your account-specific fitness history.
• Clearing out personal preferences and payment history associated with your yoga practice.

What happens to your data

When you request account deletion from Glo, the service is generally obligated to remove your profile, including your class history, saved favorites, and personal wellness goals. However, depending on financial and tax regulations, they may be required to retain billing records. The types of data Glo typically collects and subsequently manages upon deletion include:

• User account credentials and profile identifiers.
• Detailed history of classes taken, including duration and frequency.
• Payment information and subscription billing history.
• Communications sent to support teams or internal feedback logs.

After submitting your deletion request, your account will move into a processing state. Most data is purged from active, live servers, though some traces may persist in offline, encrypted backup archives used by Glo for disaster recovery for a limited period.

Privacy considerations

Glo functions by analyzing your engagement with various video content to suggest future classes. This tracking of behavior is standard for streaming services but can lead to a detailed psychological and health profile being built over time. If you are concerned about how your data is shared with third-party advertising partners for targeted marketing, deletion is a critical step.

• Always cancel your active subscription before requesting account deletion to avoid accidental renewal charges.
• Request a copy of your personal data before deleting to ensure you have a backup of any specific class milestones you value.
• Use the email address associated with your primary Glo login when sending your deletion request to verify your identity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will deleting my Glo account automatically stop my subscription payments?

No. You must navigate to the 'Subscription' section in your account settings and cancel it manually before the end of your billing cycle. Failing to cancel first can result in unexpected charges.

Can I recover my yoga practice history after deleting my account?

No. Once Glo processes your account deletion request, all your class history, streaks, and personal data are permanently removed and cannot be restored.

Does Glo keep my billing information after I delete my account?

While personal profile data is deleted, Glo may be legally required to retain transaction records for a specific period to comply with financial and tax accounting regulations.

How long does the Glo account deletion process take?

After you send your follow-up email requesting deletion, the support team typically takes several business days to verify your identity and process the request.

Will deleting my account remove my data from Glo's email marketing lists?

Yes, submitting a formal account deletion request should remove your email address from their primary marketing databases, though you may also want to click 'unsubscribe' on any recent emails to be certain.

Is it enough to just uninstall the Glo app from my phone?

Uninstalling the app does not delete your account or cancel your subscription. You must perform the cancellation and formal deletion request through the official Glo account portal.
