# Understand the Eligibility Criteria for Personalization

- [User Identification](/studio/docs/identifying-unique-users-in-whatfix-analytics) must remain enabled for at least the past 2 months.
- A minimum of 15 users must have interacted with Self Help in the past 3 months.
- The Self Help widget must have been opened at least 80 times in total in the past 3 months.

          Note:

          

- The first time your account becomes eligible for Personalization, it is automatically enabled. For more information see [Enable or Disable Personalization](/studio/docs/disable-personalization).
- If your account fails to meet at least one of the eligibility criteria, it becomes non-eligible for Personalization.  

If your account becomes non-eligible while Personalization is enabled, it will remain enabled, however the relevancy of personalized content may be affected. You can choose to [disable it from the Dashboard](/studio/docs/disable-personalization).
