How to Delete Your Account
Overview
You can request deletion of your Choremanji account from the Choremanji web panel (app.choremanji.com). This guide explains the full process, what data is deleted, and important information you need to know before proceeding.
⚠️ Important: Account deletion is permanent and cannot be undone. Please read this guide carefully before proceeding.
Before You Delete Your Account
What gets deleted
When you delete your account, the following data is permanently removed:
- Your profile information (name, email, username, avatar)
- Your password and authentication credentials
- Tasks you created or were assigned to you
- Your task history
- Rewards you created or were assigned to you
- Your reward redemption history
- Your points balance and points history
- Device tokens and notification settings
For parents: two deletion options
If you have a parent role, you can choose between:
- Delete only my account: Your account is deleted, but family data may be retained if other parents exist
- Delete my account and the entire family: All family members, tasks, rewards, and history are permanently deleted
Attention for parents: If you are the only parent with children in the family, you must delete the entire family. You cannot delete only your own account in that case.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I recover my account after deletion?
No. Once your account has been deleted after the 7-day cooling-off period, it cannot be recovered. All your data is permanently deleted from our systems.
What happens to my family if I delete my account?
That depends on your choice:
- If you chose "Delete only my account" and other parents exist, the family continues with the remaining members
- If you chose "Delete my account and the entire family," all family members and data are deleted
I didn't receive the confirmation email. What should I do?
- Check your spam/junk folder
- Wait a few minutes - emails may be delayed
- Verify the email address linked to your account
- Try requesting deletion again if the link has expired
Can I export my data before deletion?
Yes! We recommend exporting your data before requesting deletion. You can request a data export from your account settings. The export includes all your tasks, rewards, points history, and other account information.
What if I am a child user?
Children cannot request account deletion themselves. If you are a child user, please ask your parent or guardian to delete your account from the Choremanji web panel at app.choremanji.com.
Is my data really deleted?
Yes. We follow GDPR and data protection regulations. After the 30-day retention period (for recovery purposes), your data is permanently and irreversibly deleted from all our systems, including backups.
