Delete your My Life account and data
1. Delete data inside the app
- Open My Life → Settings → Delete account data.
- Optional: tap Open Backup Sync / export first if you want to keep a copy.
- To erase everything on this phone, tap Erase local data and type DELETE to confirm. This removes journal entries, notes, media, Vault items and keys, and app settings from this device.
- Plus (Google Drive backup): go to Backup Sync and use Disconnect / Delete Drive backup to remove the My Life backup files from your own Google Drive. You can also delete the My Life backup files directly in Google Drive.
- Cloud / Vault (hosted): use Delete My Life Hosted Account on the same screen when it is available, or send an email request (below).
2. Request deletion by email
Send an email to quietlinestudio.app@gmail.com with:
- Subject: My Life account deletion request
- The email address you verified in My Life (please send from that address)
- What to delete: “my whole My Life account and hosted data”, or only specific data
To protect your account, we may send a one-time code to that email to confirm the request is really from you. We confirm by email when deletion is complete.
3. What is deleted
- Your My Life account: verified email address, plan and sign-in/verification records
- Your encrypted Vault email-recovery item (if you set one up)
- All Cloud / Vault hosted files and related storage records and encrypted key envelopes
Not deleted automatically: data on your phone (erase it in the app), your Google Drive backup (delete it in the app or in Drive), and your Google Play subscription. Cancel subscriptions separately in Google Play → Profile → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions, otherwise Google may keep charging you.
4. How long it takes and what is kept
- We complete verified requests within 30 days.
- Hosted data may stay in a short recovery period (up to 7 days) and then is permanently purged, including from backups, within the 30 days.
- We may keep limited records that we are legally required to keep, or need for fraud prevention or billing disputes (for example, a record that a deletion request was completed). Google keeps its own purchase records under Google's policies.
- Deleted data cannot be recovered. Export first if you want a copy.
5. Free plan users
If you only used the Free plan and never verified an email, we have no account for you on our servers — your data is only on your phone. Use Erase local data in the app or uninstall the app. Advertising data is handled by Google; you can reset your Advertising ID in Android settings.
