Managing your personal information

How to change your email preferences

If you want to withdraw your consent to receive marketing emails, you can do this at any time as follows:

Log in to your account at www.overleaf.com, then go to your Account Settings in the top right, confirm your password if prompted, and scroll down to "Every few months we send a newsletter out summarizing the new features available..." and click the Unsubscribe link.

How to download your information

You can download a copy of all of your Overleaf projects at any time as follows:

Log in to your account at www.overleaf.com, then go to your Projects page via the top right menu, opening each of your projects and downloading a zip file from the Menu in the top left. This will provide you with a zip file for each project containing all of your content in LaTeX format. You can also download zip files with previous versions of your projects using the History menu. If you would like to download the latest version of multiple projects, you can also do this from your Projects page by checking the boxes for the projects you would like to download and clicking the download button in the top right. Please see "Exporting your work from Overleaf" for more detailed information.

How to delete your information

You can delete your Overleaf account, which will result in the deletion of your Overleaf projects and associated personal data, at any time as follows:

Log in to your account at www.overleaf.com, then go to your Account Settings in the top right, confirm your password if prompted, and click the Delete your account link at the bottom of the Account Settings page. More detailed instructions are available on our "How do I delete my Overleaf account?" page.

Important Note: Before deleting your account, you may want to download a copy of your Overleaf projects (see how to download your information, above) because if you follow the above steps, you won't be able to access them again.

This process will result in the deletion of your Overleaf account, and associated personal data, although we’ll keep a record of your request and as otherwise allowed by applicable law. If you’ve made any of your Overleaf projects public, we’ll also retain a record of your association with that content. Note that it may take some additional time following the deletion of your account for your stuff to be completely deleted from our archives, although it won’t be accessible during this period.

If you also have a ShareLaTeX account with the same email address, please note that it has been merged with your Overleaf account, and that deleting your Overleaf account will also delete all of your ShareLaTeX projects, as well as any Overleaf projects.

If you also have an Overleaf v1 account with the same email address, please note that deleting your Overleaf account will also delete your Overleaf v1 account. If you want to remove your projects from Overleaf v1, you must do this before you delete your Overleaf account, by opening each Overleaf v1 project on your Projects dashboard. If there are any Overleaf v1 projects that you cannot move to Overleaf v2, please contact us, and our support team will help you remove them.
