Delete my account

Your data goes immediately, not eventually.

No 30-day grace period, no "deactivated" state, no quiet retention while we decide. You ask, and it's gone from the live database the moment the request completes.

What happens, and when

Immediately

ON REQUEST

Your account, profile, avatar and display name are deleted from the live database. You're signed out on every device. Nothing is recoverable after this point, including by us.

Within [BACKUP WINDOW]

BACKUPS

Encrypted backups roll over on a fixed cycle. Your data can't be read or restored from them, and it's overwritten permanently when the cycle completes.

What stays in your rooms

Tasks you created stay on the list, because deleting them would rewrite other people's records. Your name is replaced with a former member everywhere it appeared. Anything assigned to you returns to open.

Nothing is sold first

We don't sell data, so there's no third party to chase down and no copy sitting with an advertiser.

Children's accounts

A parent can delete a child's account from Settings at any time, on the same immediate terms. Only a display name and avatar were ever stored.

Take a copy first

Pro members can export their full history as a PDF before deleting. Do it first — we can't produce it afterwards.

Two ways to do it

1

In the app

Settings → Account → Delete my account. You'll confirm once, and it's done. This is the fastest route and needs nothing from us.

2

By email

If you've lost access to the app or your device, email us from the address on the account. We'll verify it's you and confirm once it's done, within [RESPONSE TIME].

Email a deletion request

Deleting your account doesn't cancel a Pro subscription — the store holds that. Cancel it in your Apple or Google account settings first, or it will keep renewing. Full detail is in the privacy policy.
