The My Account section allows you to manage the administration of your Hike account, including purging, or permanently deleting, data from Hike.

MY ACCOUNT

As you will see, there are significant changes that anyone with Admin access can make to your Hike account. 

We strongly suggest you take this into consideration when deciding which staff will have Cashier, Manager, and Admin access.

On the My Account page, you can view the Purge Data section.

DATA PURGE

If that's what you want, please contact our support team before taking the action.
