Features include: * Easy self-service account deletion. * Password confirmation for security. * Protection for existing orders and competition entries. * A Request Help option when deletion needs reviewing. * Works with WooCommerce and standard WordPress websites. * Free, lightweight and easy to use. Developed by Bear Branding Co. On standard WordPress websites without WooCommerce, add the account deletion form to a page using the shortcode in the Installation section. Eligible customer and subscriber accounts are supported. Competition safeguards cover detected records in supported integrations such as Flintop Giveaways. Historical records can also require Request Help; prize resolution is not automatic. Completed WooCommerce orders do not automatically block account deletion. Part of **Bear Essentials**: straightforward solutions to everyday WordPress problems. Simple tools without unnecessary complications. ### Security and data handling Deletion requires the saved administrator toggle to be ON. Version upgrades reset it to OFF. BEAAM_ENABLE_SELF_SERVICE_DELETION=false in trusted site configuration overrides the toggle; the plugin never changes that configuration. A legacy true constant alone does not enable deletion. Staging and production use the same process without a development allowlist or test helper. Signed-in customers/subscribers confirm their password and permanent deletion. Checks include POST, user/session-bound nonces, HTTPS (except explicit local environments), throttling, per-user locking and repeated safety checks. Privileged roles and multisite are unsupported. Successful deletion revokes sessions. Passwords are checked with WordPress, not stored by this plugin. Supported WooCommerce privacy settings control anonymisation or invoice preservation. Orders and financial totals/currency are verified and retained; unnecessary standard contact, shipping, tracking and customer-note fields are minimised when invoice identity remains. Previously used integrations that become unavailable fail safely rather than treating their records as absent. All detected Flintop ticket, winner and instant-win ownership records cause a hold, regardless of status, including historical, archived, trashed or unregistered-status records. Stored ownership is checked even when Flintop is inactive. A closed draw is not proof that prize obligations are settled. Request Help does not settle prizes, transfer entitlements or remove records. Safe historical hold resolution is not automated or verified. The plugin never suppresses Flintop’s deleted_user hooks or starts its queue. ### Privacy No telemetry, remote service, license server or customer-email transport is included. Requests, statuses, timestamps, original numeric customer IDs, help messages/replies, processing receipts and pseudonymous signed audit events are stored in the site’s WordPress database. Existing notes and approvals survive. Necessary orders, requests and audit evidence may survive account deletion and plugin uninstall. Free text can contain personal information. Site owners must justify retention, explain it in their privacy policy and minimise unnecessary identifying text. WordPress privacy exporter and eraser callbacks disclose retained request evidence; they do not promise erasure of external services, independent app tokens or backups. Audit identifiers and signatures use separate random installation keys in a non- autoloaded option, independent of WordPress authentication secrets and salt rotation. Preserve these keys with secured database backups. Missing/invalid keys stop signing/ deletion rather than replacing keys for existing evidence. Old salt-derived signatures remain unchanged and explicitly unverified. See AUDIT-SECURITY.md for key-loss, legacy and threat-boundary limitations. ### Compatibility and limitations Installed testing used WordPress 7.1.3, PHP 8.2, MySQL 8.4, WooCommerce 11.2.1/HPOS and Flintop Giveaway 13.5.0. Standalone/absent integrations have isolated API contract coverage, not universal version/theme/extension testing. Staging tests covered empty-account deletion, completed-order preservation and unresolved prizes; RC.2 covered status-independent ownership. Anonymisation contract tests do not imply all installed combinations were destructively tested. Completion is reported only after verified account removal and saved evidence. Erasure is not one atomic transaction: a later failure can leave some data erased and require recovery. Do not blindly retry an incomplete operation. Plugin-file rollback cannot restore deleted users or personal data. Custom stores, external processors, app tokens and backups are not universally erased. Mobile-app/public-page/store checks remain each site’s responsibility. ## Screenshots [⌊WooCommerce My Account dashboard with the Delete My Account option.⌉⌊WooCommerce My Account dashboard with the Delete My Account option.⌉[ WooCommerce My Account dashboard with the Delete My Account option.

Review any customer records you may need to retain before enabling it. ## FAQ ### Can WooCommerce customers delete their accounts from My Account? Yes. Once enabled, eligible signed-in customers use Delete My Account and confirm their password and permanent deletion. Safety checks run before erasure. ### Does this work without WooCommerce? Yes. Add [beaam_delete_my_account] to a WordPress page. WooCommerce and Flintop are optional integrations, not installation requirements. ### Does account deletion delete completed WooCommerce orders? No. Orders are detached, not deleted. Completed orders do not automatically prevent deletion; supported WooCommerce privacy settings control anonymisation or invoice- identity retention. Owners must justify retained personal information. ### Why can a customer be asked to Request Help? Outstanding obligations, competition records, authored content or failed checks can require review. Request Help preserves the account without bypassing checks. Replies appear on the customer’s deletion page. ### Is deletion enabled when I install or upgrade the plugin? No. New installations and version upgrades start OFF. Administrators use Users > Account Deletion; emergency OFF takes priority. This is not bulk deletion. ### Does this erase every record or guarantee GDPR compliance? No. Transactions, request/audit evidence and external copies may remain. Owners must justify retention. No legal or app-store certification is provided. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Bear Essentials: Delete My Account for WooCommerce” is open source software.
