How to delete your KREAM account

About deleting your KREAM account

KREAM is a prominent South Korean resale platform primarily focused on limited-edition sneakers, streetwear, and luxury goods. As a marketplace that facilitates C2C (consumer-to-consumer) transactions, it handles a significant amount of sensitive data, including financial records, shipping addresses, and authentication history for high-value items.

Users may choose to delete their KREAM account for several reasons related to the platform's specific nature:

• Desire to stop tracking of personal purchase habits and style preferences.
• Concerns over the security of financial data linked to frequent buying and selling.
• Moving away from the sneaker reselling market and wanting to purge historical transaction logs.
• Dissatisfaction with the platform's authentication fees or logistical delays.

What happens to your data

When you initiate the deletion process on KREAM, the platform is generally required to purge your personal profile information. However, due to e-commerce regulations and tax reporting requirements, KREAM may retain certain records for a specified period.

Data collected by KREAM includes:

• Full name and contact information.
• Payment methods and banking details for payout processing.
• Transaction history, including bid and ask prices.
• Shipping and residential address records.
• Authentication certificates for sold products.
• IP address and device information for security verification.

While personal identifiers are often removed upon account closure, financial transaction logs are frequently held to satisfy South Korean commercial law obligations regarding digital records of sales.

Privacy considerations

KREAM employs tracking technologies to analyze market trends and user behavior to refine its pricing suggestions. If you are concerned about your digital footprint, consider the following:

• Request a data export before deletion to maintain a record of your past authentication history.
• Ensure all pending transactions are completed, as deletion will void active bids or sales.
• Revoke payment method access within the app prior to final account closure to prevent unauthorized charges.
• Be aware that KREAM utilizes cookies and third-party trackers for ad targeting; deleting your account is the most effective way to halt this ongoing profiling.
