Purpose:
This guide walks you through the steps to securely close your StreamElements account while ensuring you understand the implications of account deletion.
Prerequisites:
-
Be logged into your StreamElements account.
Important!
If you choose to close your account through the Security tab, be aware that all data associated with your StreamElements account, including linked channels, will be permanently deleted. This includes overlays, chatbot commands, and any stored information.
For this reason, it's generally a better idea to unlink a channel rather than delete your account entirely. This way, you can retain your settings and data for future use.

After clicking the "Close My Account" button, you'll be prompted to fill out a closure request form.
Provide the following details in the form:

JWT token: This token can be obtained from the "Channels" section of your account settings. Visit this link to access the channel settings page and retrieve your JWT token.
- Reason for closing your account: Please provide a brief explanation for closing your account. Your feedback helps us improve our services.
Confirmation and Processing
Once you've submitted the closure request form, your StreamElements account will be automatically closed.
You will receive a confirmation email shortly after the closure process is completed. This email will confirm that your account has been successfully deleted.
Please note that the closure process is irreversible, and your account data will be permanently deleted upon closure.
