# Deactivating your G2 account

If you'd like to deactivate your G2 account, you have a few privacy options to consider first.

## Before you deactivate:

**Want fewer emails?** To unsubscribe from all marketing communications, go to [Privacy settings](https://www.g2.com/users/~?tab=privacy_settings#main), then select **Manage Email Subscriptions** and select **Opt me out of all emails from G2.com**.

**Concerned about privacy?** You can post your reviews anonymously. Just toggle anonymity when submitting a review.

          
          

For more information about submitting an anonymous review, refer to the [Posting a review anonymously](https://documentation.g2.com/help/docs/posting-a-review-anonymously) documentation.

## To deactivate your account:

1. Navigate to your [Account Settings](https://www.g2.com/users/~?tab=account#main).
2. In the *Deactivate Account* panel, select **Deactivate**.

- Your account will be disabled.
- You will still receive transactional emails (e.g., about rewards or moderation).

Users in the EU can also request data deletion by emailing **privacy@g2.com**.
