You might want to delete your Uber Eats account for many reasons. Perhaps you’re not using the service anymore, or maybe you’re concerned about your privacy. But when I decided to delete my own Uber Eats account, I found that it was not easy. You need to follow a special link, which you will find somewhere deep in the Help section. Let me make it easy for you.
What to do to delete an Uber Eats account
As I have already mentioned, deleting an account from Uber East is not done through a special button on the website or in the app but through a Special Link. To do this, you need:
- To get started, follow this link.
- This will open a new browser tab asking you to enter your password. Type it in and click “Next.”
- You will then be shown all your connected Uber services linked to your account. When you’re ready, click “Continue.” Keep in mind that deleting your Uber Eats account will also delete your main Uber account, so make sure you’re aware of this before proceeding.
- After confirming the deletion process, a small confirmation message will appear on the screen. You will be logged out of your Uber account on the web, and all your apps, and your account will be deleted within 30 days.
If you have any outstanding balance on your account, you must pay it off before you can delete it. You should also wait for any pending orders to be completed before deleting your account.
If you’re having trouble deleting your account or have any questions, you can contact Uber Eats customer support for assistance. You can do this by navigating to the “Help” section in the app or website and selecting “Account and Payment Options.” From there, you can contact customer support via email, chat, or phone.
How long does it take to delete an Uber Eats account?
Once you initiate the process to delete your Uber Eats account, it can take up to 30 days to complete the deletion. Your account and all associated data will be deactivated and scheduled for permanent deletion during this period. This is done as a security measure to ensure that no one else can access your account or personal information after the deletion process.
It’s important to note that if you have any pending orders or outstanding balances on your account, you won’t be able to delete your Uber Eats account until these are resolved. In addition, if you’ve used your Uber Eats account to place an order that hasn’t been delivered yet, you may be unable to delete your account until that order has been fulfilled.
Is it possible to reactivate the Uber Eats account?
You can restore the account within 30 days after you have shared your deletion request, as, at that time, the account is not deleted yet, but deactivated. After that, it is impossible to reactivate a deleted Uber Eats account. Once you initiate the deletion process and your account is deleted, it is permanently deactivated, and all associated data is scheduled for deletion.
This means that you will not be able to log back into your account or retrieve any of the associated information, including your order history or payment information.
If you change your mind after deleting your Uber Eats account and want to use the service again, you must create a new account. To do so, download the Uber Eats app, visit the Uber Eats website, and follow the instructions to create a new account.
How to delete an Uber Eats account if you have uncovered payments
If you have outstanding balances on your Uber Eats account, you won’t be able to delete your account until these payments are resolved. The first step is to review your account activity to determine the nature of the uncovered payments. Log in to your account and review your order history and payment history to see if there are any outstanding balances.
After identifying any uncovered payments, you should contact Uber Eats customer support to resolve the issue. You can do this by using the “Help” section of the Uber Eats app or website and selecting the appropriate issue from the list.
Does Uber Eats collect data about your account after deletion?
Once you have deleted your Uber Eats account, Uber Eats will no longer collect any new data about you. However, it is important to note that Uber Eats may retain some of your information for a period after your account is deleted.
According to Uber Eats’ privacy policy, they may retain some information about you for a certain period of time, such as transaction history and information related to legal disputes. This is done for various reasons, including to comply with legal obligations, prevent fraud, resolve disputes, and for other legitimate business purposes.
It is also important to note that some of your information may be retained in Uber Eats’ backup systems. However, this information will only be used during a disaster recovery or system restoration.
Uber Eats takes its users’ privacy seriously and tries to protect their personal information. This includes complying with applicable data protection laws and regulations, implementing appropriate security measures, and giving users transparency and control over their data.
