## What Happens to Your Organisations

When you delete your account, the organisations you **own** are permanently deleted along with all of
their teams. If an owned organisation has an active subscription, it is scheduled for cancellation at
the end of the current billing period.

Organisations that you are only a **member** of are not deleted. You are simply removed from them, and
the organisation continues to operate as normal.

## What Happens to Your Documents

The way your documents and templates are handled depends on whether you owned the organisation they
belong to:

- **Organisations you owned** — Completed and in-progress documents are retained in an anonymized form
  (reassigned to an internal system account) so the other parties keep their records. Draft documents
  and templates are permanently removed.
- **Organisations you were a member of** — Your documents and templates are transferred to the
  organisation owner, so they remain accessible to the organisation after you leave.

<Callout type="warn">
  Documents that are retained in anonymized form are no longer associated with your account and cannot
  be recovered or accessed by you after deletion. Download anything you need to keep beforehand.
