Delete your account
Two ways to do it. The first is instant and doesn’t involve us.
In the app
Open Listy and go to the You tab
Scroll to the bottom and choose Delete account. Confirm when asked.
That’s it. It happens immediately and permanently, and nothing needs to go through us.
By email
If you can’t sign in
Email harish.united@gmail.com from the address you signed up with, asking us to delete your account.
We’ll confirm the request, delete the account, and reply when it’s done — within 30 days, and usually within a few days. We may ask a question to confirm the request came from you.
What gets deleted
- Your account and your email address
- Your display name
- Every list you own, and every task in it
- Your completion history — what you ticked and when
- Any invite links you created
All of it is removed outright. None of it is kept in an archive, and none of it is recoverable afterwards.
What stays, and why
If you shared a list with someone else, their membership of their own lists and their own ticks belong to them, not to you, so those remain. Lists you own are deleted outright, including for the people you shared them with — they lose access along with you.
Deleting your account doesn’t delete anyone else’s.
How long it takes
Deleting in the app is immediate. Backups of our database roll over on a short cycle, so a copy of deleted data may persist in those for up to 30 days before it ages out. Nothing is restored from them except in a disaster, and nothing is read from them for any other purpose.
Changed your mind?
There’s no undo and no grace period. If you want to use Listy again afterwards, sign up fresh with the same address — it will be a new, empty account.
