Deleting your Lyft account completely is not possible, as per the company’s privacy policy. When you delete your account, you only deactivated it – that means Lyft will still retain some of your information.
The policy has not gone down well with many users who would like to terminate their account whenever they choose to go. Although Lyft stated they do not own the data and that users retain full ownership.
But on the bright side, it can be helpful if you decide to reactivate your account down the line – your Lyft account information will remain intact as you left it. All you just need to do is sign-in, and you are back on Lyft.
Deleting your Lyft account is simple and can be done either through a web browser or the Lyft mobile app. We’ll show you how to delete it on both.
