Lucid Software is dedicated to keeping your data private, secure, and safe, and is fully compliant with GDPR requirements.
The GDPR is a set of regulations established by the EU that went into effect on May 25th, 2018. They apply to any company that collects and processes data for individuals in the European Union and were created to strengthen and unify data protection for individuals in the EU. The regulations outline both individual rights in relation to data protection (e.g. the right to be informed, right of access, etc.) and accountability and governance standards for personal data. See the full GDPR guidelines here.
As stated in the GDPR, you have the right to request that your information be permanently deleted from our system.
To be removed from the marketing email list, click the unsubscribe link in one of the emails that you have received.
Delete a Lucid account
As an account owner, you can delete your account at any time. Doing so will send a message to Lucid systems to anonymize the personal data associated with the account.
Lucid will then anonymize your personal data from our systems in accordance with the GDPR requirements, as specified within our Privacy Policy. Deleting a Lucid Software account will delete any other Lucidchart, Lucidspark, or Lucidscale accounts tied to the same email. For more information, check out our Privacy and security article.
Once your account is deleted, we will no longer be able to retrieve the documents you have created and saved to Lucid’s systems. Please download and save the documents you need prior to deleting your account.
