Data Requests
What to know before requesting deletion
These points explain what details to include, what may be removed, and how requests are reviewed safely.
Instant Purging
Utilizing our self-service dashboard tools guarantees an instantaneous command script that clears your profile metrics immediately.
Rank Removal
Deleting your account instantly strips your user profile from all active global trivia, quiz, and voting leaderboards.
Irreversible Pipeline
Once executed, data purges are permanent. Backup nodes cannot reconstruct your specific historical records or profile packages.
Third-Party Clean
Because we don't utilize third-party marketing trackers, zero residual traces of your account remain with outside advertising entities.
1. Types of Data We Store
To provide a personalized interactive experience, your BangTan user profile relies on a limited set of personal and functional data data points. This includes:
- Account Identity: Your display username, registered email address, and encrypted authentication parameters.
- Profile Customization: Any uploaded avatar configurations, customized bio texts, and unlocked profile packages.
- Platform Engagement Metrics: Your quiz records, official voting logs, historical timeline points, and corresponding leaderboard rankings.
2. How to Request Permanent Data Deletion
We offer two primary execution paths to permanently wipe your data from our systems:
Method A: Self-Service Deletion (Instant)
The fastest and most direct approach is handled through your user dashboard. Navigate to Settings > Account Security > Delete Account. Confirming this action triggers an immediate automated database script that permanently purges your unique row entries.
Method B: Manual Request Submission (48-Hour SLA)
If you cannot access your dashboard interface, you can formally request a deletion by visiting our dedicated Contact page. Please submit your request utilizing the exact email address tied to your account so we can verify your identity. Manual deletion pipelines are processed and verified within 48 business hours.
3. Database Purge Retentions & Consequences
Please note that data deletion is absolute and irreversible. The moment the command is processed:
- Your unique username is immediately recycled and released back into the public availability pool.
- Your leaderboard entries, high scores, and voting tallies are fully cleared or permanently anonymized.
- All custom profile packs, unlocked statuses, and dashboard configurations are wiped instantly. We cannot recover these assets under any circumstances if you choose to return.
FAQ
Quick answers
Can I temporarily deactivate my profile instead of permanently deleting it?
Right now, our database only supports permanent account deletion. Think of it like a hard reset. If you click delete, your profile packs and high scores vanish completely—almost as fast as Jin dropping a flawless high note on stage. If you just need a brief break from climbing the leaderboard, we recommend simply logging out instead!
What happens to my specific username once my account data is wiped?
Your username will be completely unlinked and thrown back into the wild. This means anyone else in the community can claim it for their own dashboard profile. If you have a rare or highly sought-after name, it will disappear faster than front-row ticketing options for a BTS stadium tour.
Will my votes on the songs and timelines be deleted if I wipe my data?
To protect the structural integrity of our platform statistics and community metrics, your individual user relationship to those actions is broken, and your data is fully stripped. The raw tallies remain, but they are completely anonymized—hidden away from public sight tighter than the vault holding the unreleased muster clips.
