What it is

Users can request permanent account deletion, after which account information is no longer viewable on Webull's services. A 30-day restoration window applies, after which Webull begins the deletion process, which may take up to one additional week. Third-party search engines and platforms may retain copies of public content regardless of account deletion.

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision establishes a defined account deletion timeline with a 30-day restoration period and up to one additional week for deletion processing, and discloses that third-party platforms may independently retain copies of public community content. For financial services users, retention of records beyond the platform deletion process may also be subject to SEC and FINRA recordkeeping requirements applicable to the affiliated broker-dealer.

You can permanently delete your Webull account. When your account has been deactivated, information relating to your account, including your name, username, and public profile, is no longer viewable on our Services, including the Webull app. For up to 30 days after deactivation it is still possible to restore your account if it was accidentally or wrongfully deactivated. Absent a separate arrangement between you and us to extend your deactivation period, after 30 days, we will begin the process of deleting your account from our systems, which can take up to a week. Keep in mind that search engines and other third-parties may still retain copies of your public information, such as any posts and comments you made in the Webull Community, even after you have deleted the information from the Services or deactivated your account.
