Pilgaek Account Deletion
Delete my account on the homepage (log in required)
This English text is a translation provided for convenience. The Korean version (「필객 계정 삭제 안내」) prevails if the two differ.
This page explains how to delete your Pilgaek account and its data. Deleting your account cannot be undone.
1. Delete in the Game
- Log in to the game.
- Tap Menu (메뉴) → Account (계정) → Delete account (계정 삭제).
- Tap the button once more to confirm. Your account is deleted immediately, and the progress saved on this device is also erased.
2. Delete on the Official Homepage (no app needed)
- Log in to the official homepage with your game account (email and password).
- Go to My info (내 정보) → Delete account (계정 삭제) and confirm as instructed.
3. If You Cannot Log In: Request by Email
- To: thirtyshots2689@outlook.com
- Subject: [Pilgaek] Account deletion request
- Please send it from the email address you signed up with, and include your character names if you know them.
- If you can no longer use that email address, include details that prove the account is yours (character names, when you signed up, etc.). We can delete the account only after confirming it is yours.
- We delete the account within 10 days of receiving the request and tell you the result by email.
4. Data Deleted Immediately
- Account: email, password hash, account number, device link (device identifier), consent record
- Game data: characters and progress, items, jade, draw history, cloud save and previous save versions
- Friends and block lists, selected nation, ranking records
- Item and currency log, open-beta statistics
- Posts and comments on the official homepage board
- Character names (released so others can use them)
5. Data Kept for a Limited Time
| Data | Kept for | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Database backups | Up to 14 days | Disaster recovery (deleted automatically afterwards) |
| Server snapshots | Up to 7 days | Disaster recovery (deleted automatically afterwards) |
| Report and sanction records | 1 year from the action | Handling reports, appeals and disputes |
| Record of the deletion (account number and deletion time) | 1 year from deletion | Confirming the deletion, handling disputes |
| Email inquiries | 1 year after handling | Confirming how the inquiry was handled |
| Access logs (IP address, access date and time) | 3 months | Protection of Communications Secrets Act, security |
Backups are used only for disaster recovery. If we ever restore the server from a backup, accounts that were already deleted are deleted again.
6. Deleting Some Data Without Deleting Your Account
- Email us which data you want deleted (for example, previous save versions, open-beta statistics or board posts). After confirming it is you, we delete it or stop processing it within 10 days and tell you the result.
- Data that is essential for playing, such as your email and character progress, can be deleted only by deleting your account.
7. Please Note
- Uninstalling the app alone does not delete your account.
- Deleted accounts, items and jade cannot be restored or compensated.
- If you sign up again, you start over with a new account.
