Data & Account Deletion

Delete your data

Leaving should be as easy as joining. You can export everything you have made, delete individual posts, take a break without losing your handle, or wipe the account entirely, and this page tells you exactly what happens to each kind of data when you do.

1. Your options at a glance

Option	What it does	Reversible?
Download your data	Get a copy of everything, keep the account.	N/A
Delete specific content	Removes chosen posts, designs or playlists.	No
Deactivate	Hides your profile and content; handle is reserved.	Yes, sign back in.
Delete account	Removes the account and all content.	Only within the 14-day grace period.

2. Download your data

Go to Settings → Privacy → Download your data. Your export includes:

Posts, articles, images and videos at original quality.
Comments, likes and saved items.
Creative Studio projects, exported in an editable format.
Playlists and listening history.
Your résumé, professional profile and referral history.
Direct messages you sent.
Account and login history, and your settings.

We build the archive within 7 days and email you a private download link that expires after 14 days. Large libraries arrive split into parts.

3. Delete individual content

Every post, comment, design and playlist has a delete option. Deleted items disappear from your profile and from other people’s feeds immediately, and are purged from our live systems within 30 days.

One caveat worth knowing: if someone reposted, remixed or downloaded your content while it was public, their copy is theirs to delete. Ask them, or use a copyright notice if they had no right to it.

4. Deactivate instead of deleting

Deactivation hides your profile, posts and comments from everyone, stops all notifications, and keeps your handle reserved for you. Nothing is deleted. Sign back in whenever you want and everything returns as it was. If you want a break rather than an exit, choose this.

5. Delete your account

Export your data first if you want to keep it. After deletion we cannot recover it.
Go to Settings → Account → Delete account.
Confirm with your password or a one-time code.
Your account enters a 14-day grace period. It is hidden from everyone immediately. Sign in during those 14 days to cancel.
After 14 days, deletion runs: content is removed from live systems within 30 days and from encrypted backups within 90 days.

Cancel any active subscription before you delete, and withdraw any creator balance above the payout threshold. Deleting the account does not automatically cancel a subscription bought through the App Store or Google Play. Cancel that in the store.

6. What happens to each kind of data

Data	On account deletion
Posts, images, videos, articles	Removed at once, purged within 30 days.
Creative Studio projects and uploaded assets	Purged within 30 days.
Playlists and listening history	Purged within 30 days.
Résumé and professional profile	Purged within 30 days. Copies already sent to an employer at your request are theirs; contact them directly.
Direct messages	Your copy is deleted. Messages you sent may remain visible in the recipient’s inbox, as on any messaging service.
Comments on other people’s posts	Deleted along with the account.
Prompt history for AI features	Deleted at once.
Analytics	Already aggregated and de-identified; cannot be tied back to you.
Backups	Overwritten on the normal rotation, fully purged within 90 days.

7. The small amount we must keep

A few records survive deletion because the law requires it or because deleting them would put other people at risk:

Transaction and tax records: retained as long as accounting law requires, typically 7 years in the United States.
Safety and enforcement records: reports made against the account, and ban-evasion signals, for up to 3 years so a removed offender cannot simply start again. This is a minimal record, not your content.
Child-safety and unlawful-content records: preserved where we are legally obliged to.
Active legal holds: data subject to a valid preservation order.

8. Prefer to ask a human?

Email privacy@simplyme.app from the address on your account with the subject line “Delete my data”. Tell us whether you want an export first. We verify it is really you, then confirm in writing when it is done. We respond within 30 days, usually much sooner, and there is no charge.

If you are unhappy with how we handle it, escalate to our privacy officer at privacy@simplyme.app, and then to your state attorney general or data-protection authority. Details in our Privacy Policy.
