Account & Data Deletion
This page explains how to delete your Drank It! account and the data attached to it, and what happens to each kind of data.
1. Deleting your whole account
From the app (recommended — takes effect immediately)
- Open Drank It!
- Open My Page, bottom right
- Tap "Delete account" at the bottom of the screen
- Confirm by choosing "Delete"
This takes effect straight away and cannot be undone.
By email
If you can no longer sign in — for example because you have already removed the app — write to us.
Use the subject line "Account deletion request" and include your handle (the ID beginning with @) or the email address you registered with. We verify who you are, act within 7 days as a rule, and confirm when it is done.
2. Deleting only part of your data, and keeping the account
- A post — the menu at the top right of the post → "Delete this post" (your drink log goes back by one entry)
- A comment — press and hold your comment → "Delete"
- Profile details (display name, bio, avatar) — edit or clear them on My Page
To delete anything else, contact support at the address above.
3. What is deleted and what is kept
Deleted or anonymised when you delete your account
| Data | What happens |
|---|---|
| Email address | Deleted — replaced with a string that identifies no one |
| Handle (@ID) | Deleted, and released for someone else to use |
| Display name | Deleted — replaced with "Deleted user" |
| Bio | Deleted |
| Profile picture | Deleted |
| Apple / Google sign-in link | Deleted |
| Password | Deleted — you can no longer sign in |
Made private
| Data | What happens |
|---|---|
| Posts (photo, caption, rating, place) | Hidden from other users and removed from search |
| Drink log | Hidden |
| Follows and likes | Hidden |
Hidden posts remain in the system in a state where they cannot be traced back to you. If you want them erased completely, tell us and we will do it individually.
Kept for a limited period
| Data | Retention | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Reports (reason and what we did) | 180 days | Preventing and investigating repeat abuse |
| Audit logs (record of administrative actions) | 180 days | Responding to lawful requests and investigating abuse |
Anything past that period is erased. Comments other people left on your posts belong to them and remain.
Deleting your account permanently loses your drink log, rank and badges. Registering again with the same email address does not bring any of it back.
