# Deleting your account

### How to delete your account

If you would like to delete your account, please send a message to us [here](https://help.dscout.com/hc/en-us/requests/new) with the email address you use for Dscout. Someone will get back to you to confirm your account's deletion.

### What deletion means

When we delete your account, we remove all profile information including your name, any email addresses associated with your account, your phone number, profile photo (if you have one), etc.

This information will no longer appear with any mission entries or applications that you may have submitted using the Dscout mobile app. Mission entries and applications may be retained in accordance with our [Scout Terms and Conditions](http://www.dscout.com/legal/scout-terms).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://participanthelp.dscout.com/account-settings/account-setup/deleting-your-account.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
