Read this before you delete.

For 30 days after you ask, your account is hidden and you can restore it by signing in again and choosing Restore. After that it is deleted: your personal data is removed from CHiiRO and kept in an encrypted archive for 7 years, then de-identified. The archive is not used to run CHiiRO or for any other purpose. If you want a specific post gone, delete it before you delete your account.

After 30 days: removed, and kept only in an encrypted archive
