How to delete your Webflow account

About deleting your Webflow account

Webflow is a tool aimed at software developers. If you no longer wish to use the service, deleting your account is a smart way to reduce your digital footprint and keep your personal information out of unused systems.

Common reasons to delete your Webflow profile:

• You are concerned about how your personal information is stored and shared.
• You are simplifying your online accounts and keeping only what you actively use.
• You no longer use the service and want to minimise your digital footprint.

How to delete your Webflow account

Follow these steps to close your account:

1. To delete your Webflow account, navigate to your Account Settings in the dashboard.
2. You must cancel all active site plans before selecting the option to permanently close your account.

Alternatively, you can email support@webflow.com to request permanent deletion of your account and personal data.

What happens to your data

When you request the deletion of your account, you are exercising your right to be forgotten. While exact processes vary, typically the following happens:

• Marketing subscriptions linked to your email address are deactivated.
• Associated activity, preferences, or history tied to your account may be permanently erased.
• Some records may be retained for legal, security, or regulatory compliance purposes.
• Your account profile, including your username and personal details, is removed from active systems.

Please note that some records may still be retained for security, legal, or regulatory compliance purposes, as required by law.

Privacy considerations

Before you delete your account, take a moment to review your broader digital security:

• Consider using an alias email address for future sign-ups to limit data exposure.
• Check your email inbox afterwards and unsubscribe from any remaining mailing lists.
• Use a password manager to keep unique, strong passwords for every account you keep.
• Request confirmation from the service once your data has been deleted.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is deleting my Webflow account permanent?

Yes, once the request is processed, your account and associated personal data are typically removed from the service's active systems permanently.

Can I recover my account later?

Usually not. Deleting your account is generally irreversible, so if you return you would need to create a new profile from scratch.

What is the difference between deactivating and deleting my Webflow account?

Deactivating temporarily disables your profile while keeping your data stored on the company's servers, and you can usually reactivate it at any time. Deleting permanently removes your account and asks the service to erase your personal data, which is the better choice if you want your information gone for good.

How long does the deletion process take?

Most companies respond to account deletion and data removal requests within 30 days, in line with standard GDPR and CCPA timelines.

Who can I contact if I need help with my Webflow deletion request?

Reach out to the service's support or privacy team through their official help centre or contact page, and keep a copy of your deletion request for your records.
