There are certain requirements that must be met before you’re allowed to deactivate or delete your Bright Data account. If you are unable to deactivate your account, please make sure all of the following conditions are satisfied:
  • You must be the account owner: Only the person who originally opened the account (the “owner”) has the ability to delete it.
  • It is not a Bright Data internal account: (This is mostly relevant to internal use and not regular customers.)
  • All bills must be paid: Your account must have no outstanding payments or unpaid invoices.
  • Real balance is exactly zero: Your account’s real balance should be exactly $0, no positive or negative balances. Note: Bonuses are not counted toward your real balance. Credits, often considered as a “loan” in some cases, may be treated differently; ensure your real balance is zero according to your billing section.
  • No active long-term subscriptions (LTS): If you have an ongoing LTS, you must cancel or complete it before deactivating your account.
  • No monthly commitments: Any monthly service commitments must be completed or canceled.
  • No pending costs: Your account should have no pending or unbilled usage (“pending costs”). For clarification of what qualifies as pending costs, please check your billing section or contact our support.
If you are the account owner and you have met all the above criteria but still cannot deactivate your account, please contact our support team for further assistance.If your account was blocked, you will immediately receive an email explaining how to resolve the issue. Contact your dedicated account manager or Bright Data’s compliance team at compliance@brightdata.com. To reinstate your blocked account, you will need to provide the following:
  • A company registration form
  • A photo of the flagged payment method
Bright Data may suspend your account (which prevents access to any zones in it) due to billing issues for one of the following reasons:
  • A discrepancy between payment method and personal details
  • The user has logged in from a country that differs from where the credit card is from
  • Too many attempts to process a declined payment
  • Failure to authenticate a credit card payment using 3D secure
To enable your account again and exit the suspension state, review your billing details and fix missing or incorrect information. Once billing is resumed, your account will be active again automatically. If from some reason it doesn’t - contact your account manager.
Bright Data disables (note: disabled account differs from a suspended account) accounts that have been idle for 12 months. To re-enable your account you need to reach out to our staff, either through the Help & Support section in the control panel.
  • Visit https://brightdata.com/cp/setting/auth.

If your organization has configured enforced SSO (via Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, or Google Workspace), password reset emails are not sent. Password-based authentication is disabled for accounts with enforced SSO.Sign in through your organization’s identity provider instead:

  • Okta: sign in via your Okta dashboard or the Bright Data Okta tile.
  • Google Workspace: use the “Sign in with Google” option on the Bright Data login page.
Contact your account administrator if you need access restored. See also:
If your account does not have enforced SSO and you’re still not receiving a reset email:
  • Check your spam/junk folder.
  • Verify the email address on file at Account settings → Profile.

If your account suspended due to insuffecient funds, you can always charge funds to your account and the suspension will be removed immediately.To ensure that your account is never suspended, we highly recommend that you use our automatic recharging option. It can be activated in the “billing” section of your account and ensures uninterrupted service. Auto recharge starts to work when your available balance drops below 85% of the total account balance. The amount set is entirely up to you and can be of any denomination. You can find the auto recharge section here.
