Overview
When I Work fully supports an individual’s right to manage their data as a user of our platform. From your iOS device, you can request to delete and archive your profile. Archiving a user from a particular workplace removes that person from that workplace’s schedule, deletes their user profile, and revokes access to your workplace.
Considerations
- Workplace admins and managers are informed of your request to delete and archive your user profile. This provides admins and managers an opportunity to delete your future shifts or move them to OpenShifts.
- Profile deletion applies to your user profile on the selected workplace. This process does not cancel a workplace account. Admins who wish to cancel a workplace account can do so from a computer. See How Do I Cancel My Account?.
- Deleting your profile alone does not delete personal information contained in your profile, such as past timesheets and schedules. Your deleted profile and its data will be archived, which means it is moved to separate storage since it is no longer actively used. Archived user profile may be reactivated by the workplace to obtain information that may be needed to comply with its tax, legal, accounting, or record keeping purposes.
Request profile deletion
To initiate a profile deletion request:
- In the bottom-right corner of the screen, tap More.
- Scroll down and tap Delete Profile.
- Check each item to acknowledge profile deactivation.
- Tap Submit Request, then tap Close to finish.
