Closing your account and deleting your data

What you need to know about closing your account

When you submit a request to close your account, we'll send an email to your registered email address and to your Spandooly Messages within 24 hours letting you know we've received it. Generally, it takes 30 days to close an account from the date we receive a request. However, if you've bought or sold items in the 30 days prior to submitting your request, we'll keep your account open for 60 days from receiving your request so any outstanding sales or purchases can be completed and so we can meet our commitments to all buyers and sellers under the Spandooly Money Back Guarantee.

After the 30-day or 60-day period (depending on whether you've bought or sold in the past 30 days) your account will be permanently closed and your data will be deleted. If you change your mind during the time it takes to close your account, you can contact us and ask to have it reopened if your account is in good standing.

Personal data on closed accounts

The right to have your personal data (including personal information) deleted depends on privacy regulations which vary by country and region. For example, the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) identifies the right to have your personal data deleted, also known as the “right to erasure,” subject to certain exceptions. At spandooly, we extend this right to delete your data to all users regardless of a country or region’s regulation.

When you send a request to close your account, your personal data will also be deleted as long as your account is in good standing.

spandooly deletes personal data using approved methods such as encryption, pseudonymization, and aggregation. For your part, you’ll need to clear cache, cookies, and history from each browser you used to sign in to your spandooly account. If you downloaded any spandooly apps on any of your mobile devices, you’ll need to delete those too.

Unless you’ve reconsidered and would like to keep your account, and as long as your account is in good standing and none of the exceptions listed below apply, your account will be closed and your data will be deleted within 30–60 days of receiving your request. To keep your account, your account must have been in good standing at the time your closure request was submitted. Suspended or restricted user accounts will be closed, and we’re unable to allow you to reopen the account.

When we’ve closed your account, we’ll let you know by sending an email to your registered email address. If you’d like to use spandooly again, you’ll need to create a new account.

Closing account and personal data deletion exceptions

We can’t close an account and/or delete associated data if:

  • Your account has an outstanding balance
  • You have pending transactions (i.e. open bids, pending payments, outstanding payouts to be processed to your bank account or pending status if you’re a managed payments seller)
  • Data related to an account needs to be retained to detect, prevent, mitigate, or investigate fraudulent or illegal activities
  • Data related to an account needs to be retained for a purpose required by applicable law
  • There is a public health issue
  • A subpoena or other court or legal order compelling spandooly to retain certain data is in place

If data can’t be deleted for any reason, it will be retained in accordance with our Privacy Notice.

Closing your account will result in the closure of all spandooly businesses associated with that account which rely on the same identity—for example, the spandooly Partner Network (EPN).
