Goal

  • Spare the user complicated procedures in order to leave the service.
  • Let the user know, right off the bat, that they won’t be trapped into the service.
  • Cut the cost of user account management.
  • Boost confidence in the site or service.
  • Improve your reputation and reduce the risk of bad press.

Implementation

Provide an automated account closure procedure (a form) on the website if the account creation itself is automated

Provide a closure request form on the website if account creation is delayed.

Control

In any website offering the creation of a user account:

  • Create an account then check the possibility of closing it or requesting its closure online, via a similar process.
