Delete your account

What gets deleted

• Your account, display name and sign-in identity.
• The places you added, your reviews and comments.
• Photos you uploaded, including the image files themselves.
• Your friend connections, pending friend requests and invite codes.
• Your push notification registrations.

What we keep

• Restaurants and places themselves. These are shared reference data, not personal to you, and are not linked to your account after deletion.
• Anonymised technical logs. Usage and app-error records are kept with the link to your account removed, so they no longer identify you.
• A record that the deletion happened. A dated note saying an account was deleted, and how much data went with it. We keep it for 6 years so that if you ever ask, we can confirm your deletion actually happened. We don’t keep your name or email address — only a scrambled version, like a fingerprint. It can’t be turned back into your details, but if you write to us later with your email address, we can scramble it and check whether it matches. The only other thing it holds is the random ID number our system used for your account, which points to nothing once the account is gone. See the Privacy Policy.

You no longer have the app

Reinstalling and signing in again is the quickest route: signing in with the same Apple ID, Google account or email address takes you back into your existing account — it does not create a new one — and you can then use Profile → Account → Delete Account.

If you would rather not reinstall, email [email protected] from the address you sign in with, or tell us how you signed in and we will confirm it is your account another way. We action verified requests within 7 days.

We ask for this confirmation on purpose. Deletion is permanent, and acting on an unverified request would let someone else erase your reviews. If we cannot establish that an account is yours, we will tell you so in writing rather than delete it.

Signed in with Apple using "Hide My Email"?

We hold no email address we can reach you at, so we cannot verify a request by email. Reinstall the app and delete your account from Profile → Account → Delete Account.

You can also revoke access from your iPhone: Settings → your name → Sign-In & Security → Sign in with Apple → Foodie Banter → Stop Using Apple ID. Email us afterwards if you would like confirmation.
