GoDaddy is one of the most popular webhosting companies in the world . But if you’re not using your website or domain anymore, you might be considering to remove your account. In that case: I can tell you that all it takes, is 1 email to their privacy team.
I’ll show you below the one single thing you need to do to delete yourself from their website and their answer to it (with screenshots):
1 Write an email to privacy@godaddy.com
I found the email address in their privacy policy and their team is dedicated to keep your infirmation and personal data private. All you need to do is ask them to close your account and send them: your name,email address & username.
Your mail could be looking like this: (you can copy/paste it if you want 😉
To: privacy@godaddy.com
Subject: Request to delete my account & personal data
Message:

In my case, I received an answer from a very kind employee of the CEO team 4 hours later, confirming me that my account number and email address have been removed from their database. Thanks GoDaddy!
