Delete Your Account & Data
Last updated: July 30, 2026
This page explains how to permanently delete your Mushroom Identifier account and personal data, whether you use our website (MushroomIdentifiers.com) or the Mushroom Identifier mobile app. Both share the same account, so deleting your account removes your data from both.
Option 1 โ Request deletion by email (recommended)
To delete your account and all associated personal data, send us an email from the email address linked to your account:
To: support@mushroomidentifiers.com
Subject: Delete my account and data
Message: Please delete my Mushroom Identifier account and all associated data.
We verify the request comes from the account owner, then permanently delete your account. You'll receive a confirmation once it's done.
Option 2 โ Delete from the app
You can also start account deletion inside the mobile app:
- Open the Mushroom Identifier app and sign in.
- Go to the Profile tab, then Settings.
- Choose Delete account (or "Support") and confirm.
If you can't find the option in your app version, please use Option 1 above โ it has exactly the same effect.
What gets deleted
When your account is deleted, we permanently remove:
- Your account, email, password, and profile (name and avatar)
- Your scan / identification history and saved species
- Your field journal entries
- Your community posts, photos, comments, likes, and follows
- Your credits balance and referral data
What may be retained (and why)
For legal and accounting reasons, we may retain a limited set of records after deletion:
- Transaction / purchase records โ kept for tax and financial compliance, typically up to 7 years. Managed and stored by Google Play / our payment partners, not linked to your deleted profile.
- Anonymous, non-identifiable usage data โ cannot be traced back to you and may be kept for analytics.
Everything else that identifies you is deleted from our active systems within 30 days. Backups are purged on our normal rotation cycle shortly after.
Note about in-app purchases
Deleting your account does not automatically cancel a subscription bought through Google Play. To cancel an active subscription, open the Google Play Store โ Menu โ Subscriptions โ Mushroom Identifier โ Cancel. Deleting your account is permanent and cannot be undone.
