How to remove your Polyvore account

You can deactivate your account by using the link provided below.

However, our user Leslie (hi!) points out, your account won’t be removed, it will only be deactivated. This means that your personal data will probably be stuck on Polyvore servers forever. For more info, see https://polyvore.zendesk.com/entries/21019103-How-do-I-reactivate-my-account-

You could try to contact them via https://polyvore.zendesk.com/entries/20966833-Contact-Us and ask them if they can delete your account (tell ’em we sent you!), but it remains unclear what happens to your personal data. Thus, blacklisted.

Helpful Trick: Obfuscate your profile info.

Because most accounts and profiles at Polyvore 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 Polyvore and ask personally. By the way, removal requests don’t necessarily mean your data will actually be removed (e.g. due to legal obligations).
