Questions & Answers

Question:
What information gets removed when I delete my account?
Answer:

Deleting your account is permanent, and deleted accounts cannot be reinstated. All your data will be lost and you cannot recover it later. Please note that any upgrades or subscriptions are non-refundable and cannot be transferred to a new account.

Question:
Does deleting my account cancel any subscriptions I may have purchased?
Answer:

No. You must cancel subscriptions before Deleting your Account. POF reports that they will not issue any refunds.

Question:
What happens when I hide my profile?
Answer:

This is the same as deactivating your account. When your profile is hidden you will not appear in any bar of images or search results and you will not appear in basic or advanced search results. This option allows you to return to POF whenever you like and it will restore your information unlike deletion.
