The Home connect email that came yesterday

I got my mail in german and I have managed to understand that I need to accept some new terms or they will remove my account.
But I can’t find/understand where to accept the terms.
Has anyone found this?

I am in the UK and not received anything. I looked in the app notification. Nothing. So suspicious of emails

This is what I got

Hi Andreas,
we are continuously working on improving the Home Connect app, which requires changes to the terms of use and the data protection declaration from time to time.

We revised our terms of use on September 30th, 2022 and updated our data protection declaration.

The most important changes relate to:
Login: The Bosch ID becomes the SingleKey ID
Services:
Addition of regulations on new features in the Cookit (e.g. user-generated content) including the corresponding information on data protection.
Addition of regulations on new features of other home appliances (e.g. predictive maintenance, dosing recommendations and new additional programs) including the corresponding information on data protection.
Legal updates:
Implementation of legal requirements related to digital content and goods with digital elements.
Regulations for changes to the Home Connect app including the terms of use.
Supplement of Representative/Privacy Officer in the UK.
Privacy & Transparency:
Extended information on marketing consent, if such has been given.
Privacy information about app error reports that are automatically generated in the event of problems in the app and how these are stored.
Clarification in the data protection information on the joint use of home appliances via the app and on deleting connected accounts.
Data protection information on the storage of master and device data in a special database for the sole purpose of conducting product recalls.
If you agree to the new terms of use, you don’t have to do anything else and can continue to use the Home Connect services as usual.

If you do not agree to the new terms of use, your contract of use will end when the change takes effect. Please follow the instructions in the Help & Support area on the Home Connect website to delete your Home Connect account. You are also welcome to contact customer service.

You can access the revised Terms of Use at the following link: Terms of Use.

We have also revised our privacy policy. You can access the updated version under the following link: Privacy Policy.

Kind regards

your Home Connect team

I don’t understand this part:

If you do not agree to the new terms of use, your contract of use will end when the change takes effect. Please follow the instructions in the Help & Support area on the Home Connect website to delete your Home Connect account.

If I don’t agree then my contract will end. OK got it.
Please follow the instructions to delete your account??? Huh???

It means that you are supposed to silently accept the new terms. If you don’t accept them, you have to delete your account. So not deleting your account means you agree to the new terms.
