What Happens When You Delete Your Snapchat Account?

When you delete your account, Snapchat still retains some of your data for legal and security needs. For example, they retain information about purchases you made through the app, abuse reports and if your account is flagged for violations.

Note: Snapchat can reject your demand to permanently delete your account if they received a valid legal process asking them to preserve your account.
