Deleting your Faves account
Effective August 28, 2026
You can delete your Faves account and its data at any time. There are two ways to do it.
From inside the app (fastest)
Open Faves and go to Settings, scroll to the bottom, and tap Delete account. You'll be asked to confirm. The deletion happens immediately and you'll be signed out.
By email (if you've already uninstalled)
Email support@tryfaves.com from the address you used to sign up and ask us to delete your account. We'll confirm it's really you before deleting anything, and we aim to complete the request within 30 days.
What gets deleted
Deleting your account permanently removes:
- Your profile — display name, @handle, and profile photo.
- Every rating and written review you've posted.
- The dish photos you've uploaded.
- Any menu or receipt scans still in progress.
- Your follows, saved dishes, comments, and reactions.
- Your email address and the push token for your device.
What stays
Shared reference information that isn't personal to you remains, so the app keeps working for everyone else — for example a restaurant's name and address, and the fact that a dish exists on its menu. None of it identifies you once your account is gone.
We may also keep a minimal record of the deletion itself where the law requires us to.
How long it takes
Deleting from inside the app takes effect straight away. Backups roll over on their own schedule, so a copy can persist in an encrypted backup for up to 30 days before it is overwritten. Nothing in a backup is used to restore a deleted account.
