Delete your account
Your account can be deleted completely, with everything in it. There are two ways: one inside the app and one without it.
In the app — immediately
The fastest route, and the only one that takes effect at once:
- Tap your profile picture in the top right
- Choose Profile
- At the very bottom: Delete my account
- Confirm the prompt
Deletion happens immediately. You are signed out afterwards and can no longer sign in with that address.
Without the app — by email
No device at hand, or the app already uninstalled? Then send us a short message:
To:
info@reelgusto.de
Subject: Delete account
Please send it from the email address the account was created with. That is our only way to verify the request really comes from you — otherwise anyone could have someone else's account deleted.
We delete within 30 days and confirm by reply. In practice it is much faster.
What gets deleted
| Deleted | Kept |
|---|---|
| your account and sign-in credentials | cookbooks you were linked to — they belong to their owners |
| all your recipes with ingredients and steps | their recipes; only the link is removed |
| your categories, weekly plan and favourites | |
| all your images, including your profile picture | |
| your display name and import allowance |
There is no undo. The data is removed rather than merely hidden — we cannot bring it back either. If you want to keep your recipes, save them beforehand.
A running subscription does not end automatically
The subscription runs through Google Play or the App Store and must be cancelled there separately. We can neither end nor refund it — see Terms of Use § 5. So cancel in the store first, then delete the account.
