Request account deletion

This page explains how to request deletion of your account and the data tied to it, and what the request does not cover.

Deleting your account does not cancel your subscription

A subscription is cancelled from subscription settings in your device's store, where the purchase was made.

If you send a deletion request without cancelling, the store may keep renewing. Cancel first, then send the request.

How to manage a subscription

The steps

Three steps, in this order.

  1. Cancel your subscription first

    From your device's store, if you have an active subscription.

  2. Send the deletion request

    Through the approved channel, from the email tied to your account.

  3. Complete verification

    We confirm account ownership in a separate step before acting on the request.

Send the request

The request is reviewed before anything is deleted. Typing an email into a field does not delete an account.

Send from the same email the account was created with.

Do not include a password or payment details.

Request data is processed under our Privacy

What happens after you send

A receipt message means the request arrived, not that deletion has finished.

Which data is deleted and which is retained follows the retention section of the privacy policy.
