How to remove your MarketWatch account

Sadly, there’s no account removal option available.

Use the feedback form to ask for account removal. It can be found here: https://www.marketwatch.com/support/feedback.asp

Briefly explain why you want to leave. Provide the email address you used to sign up.

Helpful Trick: Obfuscate your profile info.

Because most accounts and profiles at MarketWatch cannot be removed, we suggest you login and change your account and profile information altogether.

Make sure you are logged in to your account on the site and click on the profile or options settings. Locate the fields with your personal info (email, name, address) and fill in generic, random information instead. If you can only select from several fields, change anything personally identifying. If possible, use a homepage/URL field or long text field (such as Description) and put this line in it: https://remove.org/removal-requested. This may encourage webmasters and admins to create an easier removal outlet.

Helpful Trick: Removing online data

Publicly visible text/images often aren’t properly removed even when you succeed in removing an account. Try editing or removing them manually before removing the account itself. If you’re unsure what happens to your tracks: this can be found mostly in the Terms of Service/Privacy Policy; otherwise you can always contact MarketWatch and ask personally. By the way, removal requests don’t necessarily mean your data will actually be removed (e.g. due to legal obligations).
