How to delete your Quidd account

About deleting your Quidd account

Quidd is a popular digital collectibles marketplace that allows users to buy, sell, and trade limited-edition stickers, cards, and 3D figures based on licensed properties like Marvel, Game of Thrones, and Rick and Morty. The platform utilizes a blockchain-based backend to manage the ownership of these digital assets, essentially functioning as a wallet for your virtual inventory.

Users often seek to delete their Quidd accounts due to concerns regarding data security following reports of past breaches, or simply because they have lost interest in maintaining a digital collection. Because Quidd tracks detailed transaction histories, app usage patterns, and communication logs within the app's community features, deletion is a necessary step for those looking to reclaim their digital privacy.

Key reasons to consider deletion:

• You are concerned about the security of your account after historical platform data breaches.
• You want to stop the collection of your behavioral metadata and purchasing habits.
• You have liquidated your digital collectibles and no longer intend to use the marketplace.

What happens to your data

When you request account deletion, Quidd generally removes your public profile, transaction history, and associated inventory records. However, due to legal and financial auditing requirements, some information may remain on their servers.

Data categories collected by Quidd include:

• Identity and authentication data: Your email address, username, and social media login tokens.
• Financial logs: Payment method details (often processed through third-party gateways) and trade histories.
• Interaction data: Direct messages sent within the app, forum activity, and interaction timestamps.
• Device information: IP addresses, device identifiers, and OS version data used for app optimization and fraud prevention.

Note that Quidd may retain anonymized transactional logs to maintain the integrity of the blockchain-linked ledger even after your personal account is purged.

Privacy considerations

Quidd operates as a centralized hub for digital commerce, which inherently involves tracking your buying trends and content preferences to serve personalized ads and 'trending' item suggestions. The platform’s history of breaches highlights the risks of maintaining an active account with saved payment information.

Privacy tips for Quidd users:

• Disconnect third-party social media accounts from your profile before deleting.
• Manually remove saved payment methods before submitting your account deletion request.
• Clear your in-app chat history to ensure personal communication threads are not archived on their servers.
