Delete your data.

You can remove your Foodminder account and everything in it whenever you like. Here's how, and what happens.

Delete in the app

The quickest way to delete your account and all of your data:

  1. Open Foodminder and go to Settings.
  2. Tap Delete account.
  3. Confirm. Your account and data are permanently removed.

This is immediate and cannot be undone.

Request by email

If you no longer have the app installed, or would like us to do it for you, contact us via the contact page from the email address on your account and ask us to delete your data. We may need to verify it's you before we proceed.

What's removed

Deleting your account removes the personal data we hold about you, including:

  • Your account and profile (name, email, sign-in link).
  • Your kitchen — all food items, baskets, storage locations, dates, actions and points.
  • The homes and households you own.

Receipt and label photos are never stored after they're processed, so there is nothing to delete there. If you have shared a household with others, items you contributed may remain in that shared kitchen for the remaining members, in line with how sharing works.

When it happens

Your data is removed from our live systems immediately when you delete your account, and purged from backups within 30 days. We only retain anything longer where the law requires it.

Deleting single items

You don't have to delete everything — you can remove any individual item from its edit screen at any time without deleting your account.
