Activision is a juggernaut in the world of online gaming. The company has been around for decades and has produced some of history’s most popular and influential games.
Its crowning achievement might be the Call of Duty franchise. But what if you decide to call it quits? What if it’s time to delete your Activision account? This blog post will provide a comprehensive guide on how to do just that.
Call of Duty is a global phenomenon. Its compelling gameplay, immersive storylines, and state-of-the-art graphics have captured the hearts of millions of gamers worldwide. It’s not just a game; it’s a cultural force.
The latest installment, Warzone, boasts over 100 million active players, making it one of the most-played games on the planet. However, this popularity comes with a downside.
Gaming addiction is a real issue, and games like Call of Duty are often at the center of the problem.
How to Delete Your Call of Duty (Activision) Account
While deleting an Activision account seems easy, it’s not as simple as clicking a button. Like many online gaming companies, Activision doesn’t allow users to delete their accounts completely. However, there’s a workaround. While you can’t delete your account, you can make it anonymous and useless by removing all of its personal information.
This process essentially “deletes” the account without removing it from Activision’s servers. Once you’ve removed your personal information, the account becomes unusable. It’s important to note that this action is permanent.
Once your information is deleted, it cannot be recovered, meaning you’ll lose access to any purchased content or game progress tied to that account.
How to request personal information deletion on Activision
To begin the process of deleting your personal information from your Activision account, follow these steps:
- Log in to your Activision account.
- Click on Profile in the top right corner of the screen.
- Go to Preferences and scroll to the bottom of the screen.
- You’ll see a section called “Deactivate Activision Account and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Game Data.” Although you can’t click on this, you should click “Privacy & Data Protection.”
- This will open the Privacy & Data Protection page. Here, click on “Submit a New Request.”
- Select your country of residence, accept Activision’s terms, and click “Proceed to Privacy and Data Protection Portal.”
- Under Select Request Type, choose “Delete my Personal Information (Right to Erasure).”
- Select which account—Activision or COD Mobile—you want to request data erasure, and then type in your email and password to proceed.
- Accept Activision’s terms, confirm that you’re not a robot, and a window will pop up warning you what will happen if you delete your information. To complete the process, click on “Delete my Personal Information.”
After you complete these steps, your request will be processed. You will be notified by email when the process is complete. If the request is granted, your information will be deleted permanently.
Conclusion
Deleting your personal information from your Activision account may seem daunting, but it’s easier than it first appears. Though you can’t delete your account outright, you can make it essentially inactive by removing all personal information linked to it.
