Reasons To Delete Postmates Account

There are four main reasons for deleting a Postmates account.

  • Relocating: If you’re moving to an area that Postmates doesn’t service, you’ll most likely want to delete your account.
  • Personal Data Concerns: Another common reason for deleting a Postmates account is personal data concerns. While Postmates does have a privacy policy in place, some users may still feel uneasy about the company having access to their personal information.
  • No Longer Driving for Postmates: You’ll probably want to delete your account if you’re no longer driving for Postmates.

You only need two items to delete a Postmates account.

1. Postmates Account

The first and most obvious thing you need to delete your Postmates account is an active Postmates account.

Here’s an important distinction that’s important to understand:

When you delete a Postmates account, you’re doing it on the UberEats platform. It’s because Uber purchased Postmates.

So if your Postmates account details match an Uber Eats account, this process will delete accounts on both platforms.

After that, you can delete your account from any device, including a smartphone, laptop, or desktop computer.
