Delete account
Last updated 9 November 2026
You can delete your HabitHelm account yourself at any time: in the iPhone app, in the Android app and in the browser.
How to delete your account in the iPhone app
- Open Profile → Settings → Account and tap Delete account.
- Type DELETE to confirm.
- Confirm your sign-in once more with Apple, Google or your password. You are signed out afterwards.
The iPhone app follows your device language. In German, the path is Profil → Einstellungen → Konto → Konto löschen, and you type LÖSCHEN.
How to delete your account in the browser or the Android app
- Sign in to HabitHelm and open Settings → Account.
- Choose Delete account... and type DELETE to confirm.
- Confirm your sign-in once more with Google or Apple (or with your password).
- Choose Delete account for good. You are signed out afterwards.
If you can no longer sign in
Email info@habithelm.me from your account's email address. We delete the account within one month and confirm it by email.
What is deleted
Deletion is permanent and cannot be undone. We delete right away:
- your account and sign-in
- diary, meals, water and journal entries
- body data, goals, targets and insights
- your private and friends-only recipes with their photos, and your own foods
- friends, friend requests, shares and your public profile
- connections to Garmin, Strava and Withings with all imported activities and measurements
- settings and notifications
Public recipes
Recipes you published publicly stay available, because others cook with them and log them in their diary. We remove your name and the link to your account. If you don't want that, tick Also delete my published recipes when you delete your account. We then delete those recipes and their photos too.
What stays for a short time
- A technical deletion marker with your user ID stops new data from being created in the background. It is removed automatically after 30 days.
- Server logs can contain your user ID for up to 30 days.
- Daily database backups still contain your data for up to 7 days; after that they are deleted automatically.
- Notifications that others received before the deletion can still show your display name.
Connected services
If you sign in with Apple, deleting your account also disconnects HabitHelm from your Apple ID. We end the Garmin connection automatically when you delete your account. For Strava and Withings, also remove HabitHelm in that service's settings. Data stored with those services stays there.
