We verify the request comes from the account holder and complete deletion within 30 days, per our Privacy Policy.

Delete specific data — without closing your account

You don't have to delete your whole account to remove specific information. You can remove individual items directly in the app, or ask us to remove a category of data on your behalf.

What gets deleted when you delete your account

A data-only request removes just the category you specify, and leaves the rest of your account intact and usable.
