To find the URL of your profile:

If you're subscribed to the TED Daily email newsletter, please let us know if you'd like to remain subscribed. Otherwise, account removal will also end that subscription. However, account removal will not affect subscriptions to other TED newsletters (e.g. "21 Days of Ideas, TED conference newsletters, etc.). You will need to manually unsubscribe to those newsletters by clicking the "unsubscribe from this list" link at the bottom of that newsletter.
