# Account Deletion Policy

When you initiate an account deletion, your account enters a 7-day pending state before permanent removal. This action affects not only your personal profile but also any teams you are associated with.

### Immediate Impacts upon Scheduling

The moment you hit "Delete Account," the following actions occur automatically:

* Plan Cancellation: All active subscriptions and paid plans in every organization where you are an owner will be canceled immediately.
* Service Access: You will lose access to premium features associated with those plans, though your account remains "active but scheduled for deletion" for the duration of the grace period.
* Billing: No further charges will be incurred. Please note that ImagineArt does not provide pro-rated refunds for the remaining period of a canceled plan upon account deletion.

### Roles and Organizations

Because you may belong to multiple organizations, your deletion affects them based on your permission level:

| **Role** | **Impact on Organization**                                                                                                                    |
| -------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Member   | You are removed from the organization roster after 7 days. Shared assets remain accessible to the team.                                       |
| Admin    | You lose administrative privileges immediately. The team persists, but you will be removed as a contact.                                      |
| Owner    | Action Required. You cannot delete your account while remaining the sole owner of an active organization without making a choice (see below). |

#### Transfer of Ownership

If you are the Owner of an organization with other members added, the system will give you an option to transfer the ownership during the 7 days period.

### The 7-Day Grace Period

We provide a 7-day window to protect you from accidental deletions or a change of heart.

* The Cooling-Off Period: Your data remains on our servers for 7 days. 
* Account Recovery: If you log back into ImagineArt within these 7 days, you will see an option to Cancel Deletion.
* Reactivating Plans: Note that while you can recover your account, canceled plans will not automatically restart. You will need to manually re-subscribe to your previous plans if you choose to recover your account.

### Permanent Deletion

Once the 7-day period expires:

* Your account, personal data, and any non-transferred organizations are permanently purged from our active databases.
* This action is irreversible. We cannot recover images, prompts, or team projects once this final stage is reached.
* Some data may remain in encrypted backups for a limited time as required by law or for security audits, but this data will not be accessible for standard use
