What stays out there
Closing the account stops new data collection at that one company. It doesn't touch copies that data brokers and people-search sites already hold, such as an email address, a name or a phone number that was scraped, bought or leaked earlier.
Serus finds where your details are listed and removes them from the sites that hold them, including people-search sites where you live.
Frequently asked
Can I use my mail.com address again after deleting?
Not right away. mail.com blocks the address for 1 year so no one can register it.
What happens to my emails when I delete the account?
They're deleted along with the account.
Why can't I delete my mail.com account?
mail.com requires that there are no active contracts or unpaid amounts. Cancel the contract or pay the balance, then try again.
