Overview

At Managed It Work, we understand that circumstances may lead users to request account deletion. This policy outlines our procedures for account deletion, data retention, and the recovery period we provide to ensure you have control over your data.

40-Day Recovery Guarantee

Our primary commitment is to give you full control over your data while maintaining the highest standards of data security and privacy. When you request account deletion, we implement a 40-day grace period during which your account can be fully restored.

The 40-Day Recovery Period

Account Status During Recovery Period

When you request account deletion, your account enters a 40-day recovery period. During this time:

  • Your account is deactivated immediately and inaccessible for regular use
  • All your data is securely archived in our encrypted backup systems
  • Your account will not appear in active user lists
  • You cannot access your data through normal login procedures

Important Note

During the 40-day recovery period, your subscription (if active) will be suspended and no further charges will apply. Any remaining subscription period will be preserved in case you choose to restore your account.

How to Restore Your Account

If you change your mind within the 40-day period:

  • Simply log in with your original credentials at any time during the 40-day period
  • You will receive a confirmation email with restoration instructions
  • Your account will be fully restored with all data intact
  • Your subscription status will resume where it left off

Guaranteed Restoration

We guarantee that if you log in within 40 days of account deletion, your account will be completely restored with 100% of your data intact. This is our commitment to ensuring you never lose your valuable business data unintentionally.

Deletion Timeline

Here's what happens to your account and data throughout the deletion process:

Day 0

Account Deletion Request

You request account deletion. Your account is immediately deactivated and moved to secure archival storage. All active sessions are terminated.

Days 1-39

Recovery Period

Your data remains securely archived. You can restore your account at any time by logging in with your original credentials.

Day 40

Final Deletion Process

If you haven't restored your account by this date, our automated system begins the permanent deletion process.

Days 41-45

Data Erasure

All your data is permanently erased from our active databases, backup systems, and archival storage using secure deletion methods that meet industry standards.

Irreversible Action

Once the 40-day period has passed and permanent deletion begins, the process cannot be reversed. Your account and all associated data will be permanently removed from our systems with no possibility of recovery.

Data Handling & Security

During Recovery Period

  • Your data is stored in encrypted archival systems with limited access
  • No data processing or analysis occurs on archived accounts
  • Your data remains protected by our enterprise-grade security measures
  • Backup copies are maintained but isolated from active systems

After Permanent Deletion

  • All personal and business data is permanently erased using secure deletion methods
  • Database records are overwritten to prevent recovery
  • Backup files containing your data are securely purged
  • Log files and metadata are anonymized or deleted

Security Guarantee

Throughout the entire deletion process, your data remains protected by our industry-leading security protocols. We employ end-to-end encryption, access controls, and audit logging to ensure your data is handled securely at every stage.

User Responsibilities

Before Requesting Deletion

We recommend taking these steps before requesting account deletion:

  • Export your data using our data export tools
  • Settle any outstanding payments or subscriptions
  • Notify any team members or collaborators
  • Consider temporarily deactivating your account instead of permanent deletion
  • Back up any important information stored exclusively on our platform

Verification Process

To prevent unauthorized deletion requests:

  • All deletion requests require email verification
  • We may request additional verification for accounts with business data
  • Account owners receive confirmation emails at all critical stages

Important Consideration

If you manage data for multiple users (students, hotel guests, gym members, etc.), please ensure you have appropriate legal grounds and have notified affected individuals before deleting your account, as this action may affect their data as well.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if I forget to restore my account within 40 days?

Unfortunately, after the 40-day period ends, the deletion process becomes irreversible. We send multiple reminder emails during the recovery period to help prevent accidental permanent deletion.

Can I extend the 40-day recovery period?

The 40-day period is fixed to ensure consistent data management practices. However, you can contact our support team if you have exceptional circumstances that require special consideration.

What data is included in the deletion?

All data associated with your account is deleted, including: user profile, business data (students, guests, members, inventory), financial records, documents, settings, and activity logs.

Can I delete my account immediately without the 40-day period?

For security and data protection reasons, all accounts go through the 40-day recovery period. This ensures that account deletions are intentional and prevents data loss from unauthorized access.

How do I request account deletion?

You can request account deletion through your account settings page. The process requires verification to ensure it's authorized by the account owner.
