# Account Settings: Profile, Notifications, Security, Billing

> Update your display name and avatar, manage email notification preferences, change your password, review security options, and manage your Hivra subscription.

Your account settings control everything about your personal Hivra account — from how you appear to teammates to how Hivra contacts you about important events. Open **Settings** from the left sidebar (click your account avatar) to access all of the sections below.

  <Tab title="Plan & billing">
    ## Plan & billing settings

    The **Plan & billing** tab in Settings shows your current plan, next billing date, and links to manage your subscription in your Paddle customer portal.

    ### View your current plan

    Your active plan (Free, Creator, or Business), billing period (monthly or annual), and renewal date are shown at the top of **Settings** → **Plan & billing**.

    ### Upgrade or change your plan

    Navigate to the **Upgrade Plan** section. Choose a new plan and billing period, then complete checkout through Paddle.

    ### Manage your subscription

    All payments are processed through our payment partner, [Paddle](https://paddle.com). Use the link in the **Manage subscription** section to open your Paddle customer portal where you can:

    * Update your payment method
    * View payment history
    * Cancel your subscription

    ### Add extra workspaces or seats

    From **Settings** → **Plan & billing**, you can add extra workspaces (\$10/mo each) or extra team seats (\$5/mo each) to your existing Creator or Business subscription. Add-ons follow the same billing period and discount as your base plan.

    For full plan details and pricing, see [Plans and pricing](/account/plans).

    ### Security overview

    Hivra protects your account using secure, token-based authentication. Connected social accounts are authorised through each platform's official OAuth flow — Hivra never stores your social media passwords. To review or revoke connected account access, go to **Integrations** in the sidebar.

    <Note>
      If you believe your account has been compromised, change your password immediately and contact `support@hivra.app`.
    </Note>

    ### Delete your account

    Deleting your account permanently removes your Hivra account and all associated data, including workspaces you own, scheduled posts, and analytics history. This action cannot be undone.

    <Warning>
      Deleting your account also deletes any workspaces you own. Team members in those workspaces will lose access. Cancel any active subscription before deleting your account to avoid further charges.
    </Warning>

    To delete your account, go to **Settings** → **Security** and find the **Delete account** option at the bottom of the page. You will be asked to confirm by typing your email address or account password.
