The Clubhouse App is one of the hot talks on social media lately, and you might too have heard about it. The app gained popularity after Tesla CEO Elon Musk dropped in to check out the app. The Clubhouse app is a voice-based social media app in which you can drop in and out of different chats depending on your areas of interest. Not everyone can get into the app, you need an invite to get in from a current Clubhouse user and each in-app user can send two invites only. What Is Clubhouse App?

Be any app, to provide the best experience for both user and the business, its main priority should be protecting user privacy. Clubhouse users were happy with the service until they knew that the Clubhouse app account deletion requires an email submission to the company. Users have been complaining on Twitter that they have to send an email to delete their Clubhouse account and they are not receiving any response from the company.
One user Tweeted, “Perhaps a nice little chat topic for the latest social media powerhouse; if you wish to leave #clubhouse (yes, it happens) you can’t delete your account. You have to send them an email with your request. And how long they will keep your data & contacts… is unclear”.

Another user Tweeted, “@pdavison due to some privacy concerns, I would like to have my @joinClubhouse account deleted immediately. Would you kindly respond to my email sent in this regard?”.

A user did some research on the internet and shared on Twitter that:- Clubhouse is tracking you, recording your audio, you can’t delete information other people share about you, the company can share your personal information without notifying you and you can’t just delete your account. It seems clear that the company is gearing up to monetize the platform and it will be interesting to see how more Clubhouse users react to it.
