How to delete your Pogo account

You cannot delete your Pogo account.

Their official response:

"There is no way for players to delete a Screen Name from Pogo."

"We do recycle Screen Names after so many months of inactivity, so if you simply stop using that Screen Name, it will eventually be wiped from our database. We recommend simply using the Screen Name you prefer, and keep the passwords for any other Screen Names you have to yourself; that way no one else can get a hold of them and cause trouble."

TIP anonymize your account

Because an account at Pogo cannot be deleted, we suggest to make your data useless.

Be logged in on the site, then go to Profile Settings (Or Options, etc.). In all fields with personal data (such as name, address, city), fill in AccountKiller, if possible. If you can only choose from several options, change the value. If possible, use a homepage/URL field or long text field (such as Description) and put this line in it: https://www.accountkiller.com/removal-requested. This may incite webmasters to add an account deletion option.

TIP good to know

Publicly visible text/images often aren't properly deleted even when you succeed in deleting an account. Try editing or deleting them manually before deleting 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 Pogo and ask personally. By the way, deletion requests don't necessarily mean your data will actually be deleted (e.g. due to legal obligations).

If you can't find any contact info and still wish to ask something, for example a question about what exactly is deleted, about data retention, etc., you may contact the domain owners using this info.
