How to delete Your Groupon Account and Protect Personal Data

Don't you need your Groupon account anymore? You haven't used it in months or are just undertaking some housekeeping and deleting the old, unused accounts. Irrespective of the reason, it's better to delete if you last used yours long ago.

Groupon is a platform that enables its members to get coupons from their website for local use to purchase products or services at much lower prices. Apart from providing several other discount offers, the platform stores all kinds of personal information. This includes your credit/debit card information, email address, phone number, and log-in details if you've signed up and purchased a product from Groupon. 

/If you do not want to buy anything from Groupon anymore, you should delete your account to prevent your personal information from exposure.

If you are looking for different ways to delete your Groupon account, remember that the process is challenging. Most people complain about being unable to go through the deletion process.

 Unfortunately, there is no straightforward way to delete your Groupon account permanently. You need to submit a request to their support team and have them delete your account for you.
