What gets deleted
- Your students, courses, sessions and notes.
- Your bills and your packs. The payment links you sent stop working.
- Your availability, your reminders and your billing details.
- Your booking link and your student portal. Your students can no longer book or log in to their portal, and they aren’t notified. Your link name becomes free for someone else.
- Your photo and your logo.
- Your membership: it’s cancelled straight away and the rest of the month or year isn’t refunded. If you think you’re due a refund, ask for it before you delete your account: Free trial and SmartCookie membership.
What doesn’t get deleted
- Your Stripe account. It stays open and any money in it is still yours. SmartCookie just stops being connected to it.
- The “SmartCookie” calendar in your Google Calendar, with its events. If you don’t want it, delete it yourself in Google Calendar.
What you can’t do
- You can’t undo it or recover your data: there’s no waiting period.
- You can’t pause your account. Instead, cancel your membership: your data is kept.
