Quick Answer: To delete your Glassdoor account, log in, navigate to Account Settings, and select "Delete Account." This removes your login credentials. To erase your reviews and personal information entirely, submit a formal CCPA or GDPR data deletion request via Glassdoor's privacy center or email privacy@glassdoor.com. Account deletion takes up to 7 days, and full data deletion takes 30–45 days.
Key Statistics & Source: Glassdoor hosts profiles and reviews for over 2.3 million employers globally, drawing over 55 monthly unique visitors. Under CCPA, users have the right to request deletion of their records (Civil Code § 1798.105), but review platforms are legally allowed to retain anonymized review text to prevent employer review manipulation, provided all personal identifiers are scrubbed.
Deleting your Glassdoor account vs. removing your data
Glassdoor serves two distinct user groups: job seekers who create accounts to apply for jobs, and reviewers who submit company and salary reviews. Deleting your account is different from removing your data, account deletion removes your login, but Glassdoor may retain your reviews, salary contributions, and personal data for legal and operational purposes. A separate data deletion request is required to invoke your CCPA or GDPR rights.
Step-by-step: How to delete your Glassdoor account and remove your data
- Step 1: Delete your account from Settings. Log into Glassdoor. Go to Account Settings (upper-right menu) → Account → Delete Account. Confirm deletion. You will receive an email confirmation. Note: anonymous reviews you posted may remain published even after account deletion. Glassdoor's policy is to retain anonymized review content.
- Step 2: Submit a CCPA or GDPR data deletion request. Account deletion does not equal data erasure. To invoke your right to erasure, submit a formal data deletion request:
- CCPA (California residents): Submit via Glassdoor's Privacy Request form at glassdoor.com/about/privacy.htm. Cite California Civil Code § 1798.105.
- GDPR (EU/UK residents): Submit a "Right to Erasure" request to privacy@glassdoor.com. Cite GDPR Article 17. Glassdoor must respond within 30 days.
💡 Tip: If you submitted salary data to Glassdoor, include a specific request to delete your salary contribution record, this is distinct from your account data and must be requested separately.
- Step 3: Understand what stays. Glassdoor reserves the right to retain anonymized reviews for platform integrity, legal compliance, and anti-manipulation purposes. Your name and personal identifiers will be removed, but the review content (now anonymous) may remain. This is standard practice for review platforms and is permitted under CCPA/GDPR for legitimate business purposes.
- Step 4: Remove Google search results. If your Glassdoor profile or reviews appeared prominently in Google, use Google's "Results About You" tool at myaccount.google.com/data-and-privacy to request de-indexing once the underlying page is gone.
