Are you sure you want to delete your account? All of your account data, including any files you have uploaded, will be permanently deleted! Upon deletion of your account, you will be automatically logged out.

The most common reason why people want their account deleted is because they are fed up with all the email notifications they are getting from our site. While they want to be members there is simply too much email to deal with. If this is your case we advise that you simply edit your Email Notifications options on your Account Settings page. You can un-check everything and you won't have any more mail from PP! And you can still visit the site whenever you feel like it.

Another reason people want to delete their account is privacy concerns. If you don't want other people to see you content. That could be easily solved as well. Every tool (blog, album, poll, event, etc) has its own privacy settings. Just set it according to your comfort level and only those you trust will be able to see your content, even if it's only yourself! Let us know if you need help with that.

If you want to delete your account for any other reason, let us know, we'll do it right away and without asking any question. Use the Contact page to send us a message and indicate you want to close your PP account with us.
