Watch out for
- Deletion is permanent. Ring can't reverse it, and you lose your saved videos, so save any you want to keep first.
- Ring says the account is permanently deleted within 30 days after you submit the request, not instantly.
- Deleting the account ends your Ring subscriptions and your devices stop working until you set them up on a new account.
- Ring's pages name the option Data Management in one place and Manage Your Data in another. The label can differ by app version.

What stays out there
Deleting your Ring account stops Ring from holding your data going forward. It doesn't touch copies that data brokers and people-search sites already hold, such as your home address and the names of people who live there.
If your address shows up on a people-search site, that listing stays until someone files an opt-out with that site. Serus finds where your details are listed and removes them.
