Delete your account
Two ways to delete your SayThis account and everything held for it — one inside the app, one by email if you no longer have the app installed.
In the app
Open SayThis and go to:
Settings → Account → Delete account and all data
You will be asked to confirm. Deletion runs immediately — there is no waiting period and no reactivation window, so please export first if you want a copy.
By email
If you have already removed the app, or cannot sign in, email support@getsaythis.com from the address you signed up with, asking us to delete your account. We will confirm once it is done.
We ask you to write from the address on the account because it is the only thing proving the request is yours. A deletion someone else can trigger is its own kind of breach.
What is deleted
Deleting your account removes your sign-in and everything attached to it:
- Your sign-in and profile
- Your tone, length and reply-language settings
- Any reply still inside its five-minute working window
- Keyboard device registrations and push notification tokens
- Usage and analytics records
What is kept
Deleted data is removed from the live database straight away. Residual copies can persist briefly in our hosting provider’s encrypted backups before those expire on their own schedule; they are never restored into the product.
If you only want to remove your conversations
There are no conversations to delete. SayThis does not keep them: what you give it is used to write the reply and is never stored, the reply itself is held for five minutes so a dropped connection can retry without charging you twice, screenshots are deleted the moment they have been read, and no setting changes any of that. Asking for a shorter or different version sends the conversation again from your phone, because there is no copy here to reuse.
If you want a copy of what we do hold — your profile and your settings — use Settings → Your data → Export my data.
Before you go
Deleting your account does not cancel a subscription bought through the App Store or Google Play. Those are managed by the store, not by us — cancel in App Store → Subscriptions or Google Play → Payments & subscriptions, or you may keep being billed for an app you no longer have.
More detail on what is stored in the first place is in our privacy policy.
