What is the time frame to complete a deletion request?

Learn how deletion request works in Synthesia, including how long it takes to be permanently removed from the system.

Written by Jess Diaz-Gomes

When you request deletion of an avatar, video, or voice in Synthesia, the process is not immediate. Synthesia permanently removes avatar, video, and voice data within 90 days of a deletion request. This article explains how the deletion timeline works across two scenarios.


Deletion timeline

When you request deletion

When you request deletion of a specific avatar, video, or voice, Synthesia permanently deletes all copies from the system within 90 days. Synthesia provides written confirmation once deletion is complete.

When an account is terminated without a deletion request

If an account is terminated without a specific data deletion request, Synthesia automatically deletes all associated avatar, video, and voice data within 90 days of account termination.


✍️ Deleting your avatar reallocates the avatar credit back to your account. The credit becomes available for use as soon as you confirm the deletion — you do not need to wait for the 90-day process to complete.
