Delete Your Account
You can delete your Settlr account and all associated data at any time — directly inside the app, or by emailing us. This page explains how, and exactly what is removed.
Settlr ("Settlr", "we", "us") is operated by an independent developer based in India. Deleting your account is permanent and cannot be undone.
Option 1 — Delete in the app (fastest)
- Open Settlr and sign in.
- Go to Settings.
- Tap Delete Account.
- Confirm when prompted.
Your account is deleted immediately, you are signed out, and the app's local data on your device is cleared. If the deletion can't be completed (for example, no internet connection), the app tells you so and nothing is signed out — you can try again.
Option 2 — Delete by email
Email us from the address associated with your account at divyanshr.iitb@gmail.com with the subject "Delete my Settlr account". We verify ownership of the account and delete it, and will confirm by email. We aim to action requests within 7 days.
What data is deleted
When your account is deleted, we permanently remove:
- Your account and login (email / Google sign-in identity).
- Your profile — name, handle, phone number, photo, and any payment handles or notes.
- The groups, expenses, settlements, splits, comments, and notes you created.
- The contacts you added, and your connections to other users.
Shared records work like a ledger between people. Expenses and settlements you created that involve other people are removed from your account; where another person also needs a record of a shared transaction for their own balance, their copy of that shared history may remain in their account. Your personal profile details are always removed.
What may be retained, and for how long
After deletion, limited data may persist briefly:
- Encrypted backups held by our hosting providers may retain data for a short rolling window before being overwritten (typically up to 30 days).
- Records we are required to keep for legal, security, or fraud-prevention reasons, for the minimum period required, after which they are deleted.
We do not sell your data or use it for advertising. For full details on what we collect and how it's handled, see our Privacy Policy.
