Delete your account

You can request deletion of your Lifer account directly from within the app. No need to email us. The request has a 30-day cancellation period, after which deletion from Lifer's primary systems begins automatically.

How to delete your account in the app

1. Open the Lifer app and sign in.
2. Tap your profile, then open Settings.
3. Tap Account Settings.
4. Scroll to Danger zone and tap Delete account.
5. Type DELETE to confirm, then follow the final prompt.

What gets deleted

• Your profile, username, bio, and avatar
• All catches and sightings
• Photos and audio you uploaded
• Leaderboard scores and badges
• Follows, comments, and reactions
• Bird Alert preferences and notification history
• Your sign-in credentials

Once the cancellation period ends and the primary account purge completes, your account cannot be recovered. Limited security, consent, billing, dispute, review-audit, legal, provider-log, and backup records may remain where reasonably necessary or until their normal expiry. Public information already copied by others or lawfully published to an open dataset may remain outside Lifer's control.

30-day grace period

After you request deletion, your account enters a 30-day cancellation period. During this time your data remains stored and existing public or shared content may remain visible according to its visibility settings. If you change your mind, sign back in to cancel the request. After 30 days, deletion from Lifer's primary systems begins automatically. Media-object cleanup may finish separately, and limited provider backups or logs may persist until their normal expiry.

See the Privacy Policy for full retention details.
