Delete your account
Last updated: July 28, 2026 — Draft — pending legal review before store submission.
You can delete your Outish account and the personal data associated with it at any time. Here's how, and exactly what happens to your information.
Option 1 — Delete in the app
The fastest way to delete your account:
- Open Outish and go to Profile → Settings.
- Tap Delete account.
- Confirm. Your account and associated personal data are scheduled for deletion right away.
Option 2 — Request deletion by email
If you can't access the app, email us from the phone number or email on your account:
Email support@outish.app
Subject: Account deletion request. Include the phone number associated with your account so we can verify it's you. We'll confirm and complete the deletion, typically within 30 days.
What gets deleted
When your account is deleted, we remove or permanently de-identify:
- Your profile (name, handle, photo) and phone number.
- Your friend connections and friend requests.
- Your broadcasts and any associated location data (active broadcasts are closed and removed).
- Your push notification tokens and in-app preferences.
- Hashed contact identifiers used for friend matching.
What outlives deletion, and for how long
Your profile, phone number, contacts data, outings, and friend graph are permanently erased the moment you confirm. Two things outlive that erasure, for up to 30 days, and then age out automatically — see Data retention in our Privacy Policy for exactly what each one contains:
- Billing records. Subscription and transaction records held by our payment processor (Stripe) may be retained longer, as required for financial, tax, and legal obligations.
- Operational logs and an encrypted database backup — kept to run the service and recover from a database failure, not to rebuild your profile or contact you for marketing.
Things to know before you delete
- Deletion is permanent — your account can't be recovered, and you'd need to sign up and verify again to return.
- If you subscribed through the Apple App Store or Google Play, deleting your account does not automatically cancel that subscription. Cancel it in your App Store or Google Play account settings to stop future charges.
