Email hello@keepthesauce.com from the email address on your account and ask us to delete it. We'll confirm, usually within 2 business days, and complete it within 30 days.
What gets deleted, and when
- Right away: your profile (email and display name), your sign-in identities (email, Google, Apple), sessions, and your personal ratings and recipe statuses.
- Households you own with no other members are deleted right away along with their recipes, photos, notes, meal plans and grocery lists.
- Shared households: if other people belong to a household you own, it passes to another member, who keeps the shared recipes. Notes you wrote on shared recipes stay with the family without your name.
- Backups: deleted data can stay in encrypted database backups for up to 14 days before they're overwritten.
- Purchase records: transaction records are kept for tax and accounting (generally up to 7 years) and are no longer linked to you.
- Recipes saved only on your device (without an account) are removed when you uninstall the app.
Subscriptions: deleting your account doesn't cancel a Family subscription. Cancel it first in Google Play (Play Store › Payments & subscriptions › Subscriptions) or on iPhone (Settings › your name › Subscriptions).
