Delete your Family Circle account
You can request permanent deletion of your Family Circle account and the personal data we hold about you. This page explains how to request deletion and what happens to your data.
How to request account deletion
- Send an email from the same Google address you use to sign in to Family Circle.
- Use the subject line: Delete my Family Circle account.
- In the message, confirm that you want your account and associated data deleted.
- We will verify your identity using that email address and process your request.
Contact: orionautomatordev@gmail.com
We aim to confirm receipt within 3 business days and complete deletion within 30 days of verification.
What you can do in the app first (optional)
Before or instead of a full account deletion, you can:
- Sign out (Settings) — removes local cached data on your device; cloud data remains.
- Leave a circle (My circles) — removes your membership; you lose access to that circle’s data.
- Delete your content — remove events, notes, recipes, and shopping items you created where the app allows delete.
These steps do not delete your sign-in account or all personal data we store. For full deletion, use the email request above.
Data that is deleted
When we process a confirmed account deletion request, we delete or anonymise:
| Data | Action |
|---|---|
| Your sign-in account link (Google / Supabase auth) | Deleted |
| Circle memberships and profile (display name, avatar colour, role) | Deleted |
| Personal notes | Deleted |
| Private calendars and their events | Deleted |
| Google Calendar / iCal sync connections you created | Deleted; imported events removed where applicable |
| Recipe photos you uploaded | Deleted from storage |
| Local app cache on your device | Removed when you sign out or uninstall the app |
Data that may be kept
| Data | Why it may be kept |
|---|---|
| Shared notes, family calendar events, recipes, shopping list entries, or prices visible to other circle members | May remain so other family members are not disrupted. We can delete your authored shared content on request if you specify this in your email. |
| Backups and server logs | May be retained up to 30 days for security and disaster recovery, then purged automatically. |
| Records we must keep by law | Only if required (e.g. legal or tax obligations); otherwise deleted. |
After deletion
- You will not be able to sign in to Family Circle with the same account unless you create a new account.
- Other members may still see content you shared in a circle unless you asked us to remove it in your deletion request.
- Deleting your Family Circle account does not delete your Google account.
