# Your account

> Change your email, or delete your own account or organization — with a 30-day grace window and recovery options.
> URL: https://artor.app/docs/account

You can change the email your account signs in with, delete your own Artor account, and if you
own an organization you can delete that too. Deletion is never instant or one-click-irreversible:
it schedules a **30-day grace window** first, so an accidental or second-thought deletion is
recoverable.

## Changing your email

Go to **Settings → Account** and open the **Email** field. Enter the new address and confirm.

- If your account has a **password**, you re-enter it here. This confirms that the change is yours.
- We send **one confirmation link to the new address**. Your email **stays the same until that
  link is opened** — until then, nothing has changed and you can still sign in with your old
  address.
- Your **old address gets a short heads-up notice** (no link, nothing to click) so that if you
  *didn't* start this, you find out immediately.

The confirmation link is applied the first time it's opened, so treat it like any sign-in link:
open it yourself, from the new inbox, and only when you meant to change your email. If you change
your mind before opening it, just don't — your address is untouched until the link is used.

## Deleting your account

Go to **Settings → Account → Delete account**. To avoid accidents you have to **retype your
email** and tick a confirmation box before the button enables.

When you confirm:

- You're **signed out everywhere** immediately and can't sign back in while the deletion is
  pending.
- Your account is **scheduled for permanent deletion** after the grace window (30 days by
  default).
- We email you a confirmation with a one-click **cancel link**, in case it wasn't you.

After the grace window your account and its data are permanently removed and **cannot be
recovered**.

## Changed your mind? Two ways back

Any time **before** the grace window ends, you can cancel the deletion and keep your account:

### From the login page

Try to sign in as usual. Because the account is pending deletion, you'll see a panel that says
when it's scheduled to be deleted, with a **Cancel deletion & sign in** button. Click it and
you're back in.

Enter your **email and password** to cancel the deletion and sign in.

### From the email link

The confirmation email we sent has a **cancel link**. Open it and click **Restore my account**.
No sign-in is needed. The link stops working after you cancel deletion or the grace window ends.

**Note:** 
  These options cancel account deletion. If your account is suspended, contact Artor support.

## Deleting your organization

If you're the organization **owner**, **Settings → Organization → Delete organization** schedules
the whole org for deletion. Only the owner can do this — an admin isn't enough, because it removes
everyone's access and all the org's prototypes, versions, and comments.

Like account deletion it uses a grace window and a retype-to-confirm step. The difference: while
it's pending, **only Artor support can restore an organization** — there's no self-serve undo for
an org. Contact support within the window if you change your mind.

## A ban is not a deletion

A suspended account cannot be restored through the deletion-recovery options. If your sign-in
page says your account is suspended, contact Artor support.
