Are you ready to permanently remove your Amazon Jobs profile, job applications, and all associated personal data? You’re not alone. Thousands of job seekers want a clean slate for privacy reasons, to stop endless job alerts, or to start fresh with a new profile.
Important note: Amazon Jobs (hiring.amazon.com) is completely separate from your regular Amazon shopping or Prime account. Deleting your Jobs account will not affect your shopping history, orders, or Prime membership.
This guide is based on Amazon’s official 2026 methods (verified today). Follow the steps exactly and your candidate profile will be permanently deleted.
Why People Delete Their Amazon Jobs Account
Common reasons include:
- Privacy concerns about stored personal information and SSN
- Too many unwanted job alerts
- Past applications they no longer want visible
- Moving to a new career or simply wanting full control over their data
Whatever your reason, Amazon makes the process straightforward — but you must choose the correct method.
Before You Delete: Quick Checklist
- Log into your Amazon Jobs account and download any application confirmations or notes you want to keep.
- Note the exact email and phone number linked to your profile.
- Decide which method to use (see below).
Two Official Methods to Delete Your Amazon Jobs Account (2026)
Amazon clearly separates the process based on whether you have submitted any job applications.
Method 1: Use the Official Online Data Deletion Form
(Best if you have NOT submitted any applications)
- Go directly to: https://hiring.amazon.com/portal/data-deletion
- Fill in the required fields:
- First name
- Last name
- Email or phone number used for your job account or job alerts
- Read and accept the terms. Amazon clearly states the request is irreversible.
- Submit the form.
Your entire account and all linked information will be scheduled for deletion.
Method 2: Send an Email Request
(Required if you HAVE submitted any job applications)
-
Open your email.
-
Send to: [email protected]
-
Subject line: Data Deletion Request
-
In the body, copy and paste this template:
I request the permanent deletion of my personal data from Amazon Jobs. Full name: [Your Full Name] Email used: [[email protected]] Please delete my candidate profile, all application progress, and all associated information.
-
Send the email.
What Happens After You Submit the Request?
- Amazon will permanently delete your candidate profile, application progress, and all linked personal data.
- You will lose access to your account forever.
- Processing time: Most users receive confirmation within 3–30 days (median around 30 days according to Amazon’s privacy reports).
- You will get an official confirmation email when deletion is complete.
Can You Create a New Amazon Jobs Account Later?
Yes. Simply use a different email address and phone number. Amazon links accounts by email, phone, and SSN, so a fresh email works best.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Using the online form when you have already submitted applications (it may not fully process).
- Forgetting to download important application records first.
- Sending the email without the exact subject line “Data Deletion Request”.
- Expecting instant deletion — it takes time.
Pro Tips for Smooth Deletion
- Take screenshots of every step for your records.
- If you’re in the EU or California, you have extra rights under GDPR or CCPA.
- For extra help, you can also use the free tool at YourDigitalRights.org as a backup.
- After deletion, consider updating your privacy settings on other job sites (LinkedIn, Indeed, etc.).
