What happens when you delete your account

Bijgewerkt 10 Jun 2026

A companion to Deleting your account with the full breakdown of what gets removed and what stays.

Two deletion modes

Soft delete (the default from the settings button): your account is deactivated, you're signed out, and a 30-day grace window starts. Sign back in within those 30 days and the account reactivates exactly as you left it. After 30 days, it's permanently erased.

GDPR erasure: immediate permanent anonymisation under your Article 17 right. Available on request via contact us. Requires recent sign-in for security.

What's removed in GDPR erasure

  • Email and phone number on your users row — cleared
  • Display name and bio — cleared
  • Push notification tokens — invalidated
  • Firebase Auth credentials — deleted

What stays (for now)

  • Events you organised are NOT auto-cancelled today. Cancel them yourself before deleting so registered guests are notified and refunded (paid events).
  • RSVPs you made to other people's events stay in those organisers' guest lists, with your user row now showing as a deleted account.
  • Photos, videos, comments, and reactions you posted stay in place until automated content erasure is wired up. Until then, request specific items via contact us if you need them removed sooner.
  • Username is retained, so it can't be silently re-registered by someone else.
  • Payment records are kept for the 10-year legal accounting period (see Privacy Policy).

A clean exit checklist

  1. Cancel any upcoming events you organised — issue refunds for paid tickets via Stripe.
  2. Cancel your own RSVPs for upcoming events (optional but tidy).
  3. Delete any individual photos / videos / comments you want gone.
  4. Delete the account from Account → Settings.

Coming later

Auto-cancellation of upcoming events on account deletion, and automated erasure of all uploaded content, are tracked as platform work. This page will be updated when they ship.
