Delete your account
You can delete your RecipeList AI account and its data at any time, from inside the app or by emailing us. You do not need to keep the app installed to make the request.
Method one
Delete in the app
- Open RecipeList AI and sign in to the account you want to delete.
- Go to Settings, then Account.
- Tap Delete account.
- Confirm when prompted. Deletion starts immediately and cannot be undone.
Method two
Request deletion by email
If you have uninstalled the app or cannot sign in, send us a request from the email address on the account.
Deletion requests
Use the subject line Account deletion request and include the email address on the account. We verify that the request comes from the account holder before deleting anything, so we may email you back to confirm. Requests are actioned within 30 days, and usually much sooner.
Scope
What gets deleted
When your account is deleted, we remove:
- Your profile and sign-in credentials
- Saved and imported recipes, collections, and favourites
- Shopping lists and meal plans
- Photos and other files you uploaded
- Your prompts and AI-generated recipe history
- App preferences and settings linked to your account
What we keep, and for how long
| Data | Retention | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Encrypted backups containing your data | Up to 90 days | Backups expire on a rolling cycle and are then overwritten |
| Purchase and billing records | As required by Australian tax and record-keeping law | Legal obligation; held by Apple or Google as well as us |
| Aggregated, anonymised usage statistics | Indefinitely | No longer linked to you or identifiable as yours |
| Records of abuse, fraud, or legal disputes | Only as long as needed | Legal claims and platform safety |
Deleting your account does not cancel a paid subscription. Subscriptions are billed by Apple or Google. Cancel yours in your App Store or Google Play account settings, otherwise billing continues.
Also worth knowing
Before you delete
- Deletion is permanent. We cannot restore recipes or lists afterwards, so export or screenshot anything you want to keep.
- Recipes you chose to share publicly may remain visible where others have saved them, but they will no longer be attributed to your account.
- If you only want a break, signing out keeps your data intact.
- If you want a copy of your data instead of deletion, ask us at the same address and we will send an export.
