Delete Your Account & Personal Data

You have the full right to delete your Edifice account and all associated personal data at any time.

How Account Deletion Works (2-Phase Process)

When you initiate an account deletion in the app (via POST /v1/account/deletion) or submit a web deletion request below, our system executes a secure two-phase deletion process:

1

Phase 1: Immediate Invalidation & Deactivation

All active authentication tokens, sessions, and device tokens are instantly revoked. Your account is immediately signed out on all devices and disabled from active use. Any published stories are immediately removed from public access.

2

Phase 2: ~7-Day Safety Cool-off Window

To protect members against accidental loss or unauthorized account hijacking, data is retained in a locked, inactive state for approximately 7 days. If you change your mind, signing back into the mobile app during this window will cancel the scheduled deletion.

3

Phase 3: Permanent & Irreversible Database Erasure

Once the 7-day window expires, the automated deletion sweep permanently deletes your account record, email, hashed password, profile, private journal entries, streak and practice history, saved goals, and preferences from our primary databases.

⚠️ Important Notice Regarding Data Erasure

What is completely erased: Your email address, profile, entire private journal, confession streak records, practice history, saved affirmations, and custom goals.

What is retained: An anonymized cryptographic hash receipt of your former user ID (to demonstrate regulatory deletion compliance without holding personal information) and unlinked transaction receipt tokens for accounting and tax obligations.

Option A: In-App Deletion (Instant Self-Serve)

If you have access to the Edifice app on your mobile device:

  1. Open Edifice.
  2. Navigate to the Me / Profile tab (or tap Settings).
