There is no in-app account creation or self-service deletion. Email us at <a href=\"mailto:edi@etal.uri.edu\">edi@etal.uri.edu<\/a> and include the username used to sign in. If you know your organization&#8217;s name, please include it so we can find the account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What We Delete<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"type-intro fullwidth wp-block-paragraph\">After we verify the request, we will delete:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Your account, username, and login credentials<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Role and organization assignment<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Last login and other account activity tied to the account<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"type-intro fullwidth wp-block-paragraph\">We complete verified requests within 30 days of receipt and will email the address from which the request was submitted once it is completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What We May Keep<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"type-intro fullwidth wp-block-paragraph\">Field observations (for example: wait times, station counts, and location names) may be kept in a form that no longer identifies you, for election research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Data on Your Device<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"type-intro fullwidth wp-block-paragraph\">Signing out or uninstalling Every Minute Counts: Voter Operations &amp; Experience removes the signed-in session and other app data stored on that device. User deletion still requires the email request as explained above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">This policy is under review as of October 20, 2026.<\/h4>\n\n\n<div class=\"breakout\"
