How to delete a Shine.com account?

Shine.com is a prominent online job portal that connects job seekers with employers across various industries. Established in 2008, Shine.com has grown to become one of the leading platforms for professionals seeking career opportunities in India.

But let’s say that you just found the job of your life.. Well if you’re looking for a button in the account settings of your Shine account to remove your profile then, just as I did first, hold your horses. The reason? It doesn’t exist.

I’ll show you what you need to do to close your account permanently the right way on a desktop computer:

 1  After reading Shine’s privacy policy…

I discovered that an account can only be removed upon request. Or as it is mentionned in Shine’s privacy policy: Upon your request, we will close your account and remove your personal information from view as soon as reasonably possible (source: www.shine.com/privacypolicy).

In that same privacy policy their email address is mentionned: contactus(at)shine.com. So that’s the email address we need to send our request to.

 2  Go to your e-mail and compose a message:

and compose an email that requests a removal of your account. That email could be looking like this:

Subject: Closure of my Shine account

Message:
