Account Settings
Page Overview
The Account Settings page lets you update your personal information, manage your notification preferences, and permanently delete your account.
Interface Overview
- Personal Information section — Full Name, Email Address, and a read-only Phone Number field.
- Notification Preferences section — toggle switches for SMS, Email, and Push notifications.
- Delete Account section — permanently delete your Hatecholo account and associated personal data.
UI Components
- Full Name field — editable text field.
- Email Address field — editable text field.
- Phone Number field — shown for reference but marked "(Read-only - Contact support to change)"; it cannot be edited here.
- Save Changes button — only enabled once you've changed your Full Name or Email; shows "Saving..." while your update is submitted.
- SMS Notifications toggle — for order updates, delivery status, and account security alerts.
- Email Notifications toggle — for order confirmations, promotions, and account updates.
- Push Notifications toggle — for browser push notifications about important updates and alerts.
- Delete Account button — opens a confirmation dialog; after confirmation your account is permanently deleted and you are signed out.
Note: Notification preference toggles are saved on this device only (in your browser). They are not currently synced to your account or to other devices/browsers.

User Tips
Tip: If you need to change your phone number, contact support instead of trying to edit it here — phone changes require verification for security.
Best Practices
- Keep your email address current so you can receive order confirmations and account notices.
- Review your notification toggles on each device you use, since preferences are stored per device.
- Only delete your account if you are sure — deletion cannot be undone.
Common Mistakes
- Expecting the Phone Number field to be editable — it's read-only on this page by design.
- Assuming notification preferences carry over when you log in on a different device or browser — they don't, since they're saved locally.
- Confusing temporary sign-out with account deletion — Delete Account permanently removes your account.
Troubleshooting
- Save Changes button is disabled: You haven't made any changes to your Full Name or Email yet.
- Email won't save: Make sure it's in a valid email format (for example, name@example.com).
- Notification toggle doesn't seem to "stick": Preferences are saved in your browser, so clearing browser data or switching devices will reset them.
- Account deletion fails: Check your connection and try again, or contact support@hatecholo.com.
