# Creating and Deleting Your Account

### **Automatic account creation**

- Your iSeam.uk profile is generated automatically the first time you place an order.
- At checkout you enter an email and shipping details; WooCommerce stores them in **My Account**.
- After payment you receive an activation email. Click the link and set a password (or connect Apple / Google) to view orders and invoices.

### **Deleting your account in WooCommerce**

1. Log in and open **My Account → Account Details**.
2. Scroll down and click **Delete My Account**.
3. Confirm with your password or Apple / Google re-authentication.
4. You are logged out immediately and receive a confirmation email.

### **If the delete button is missing**

Open **Support → Account Help** and request **“Delete account.”**

Support will trigger the WooCommerce deletion within one business day.

### **Data handling after deletion**

- Profile data (name, email, addresses) is erased within 24 h.
- Order numbers remain but personal details are anonymised for six years to meet UK tax law.
- Marketing preferences are removed instantly to satisfy GDPR.

### **Account recovery window**

Changed your mind within seven days? Contact **Support → Account Help** before the legal erasure completes; recovery is possible only during this window.
