Delete your account
Chain accounts are optional — they exist only for sync and the guild. Deleting yours is immediate, permanent, and available right inside the app. Chain is made by one smith; there is no retention scheme, no winback flow, no grace-period limbo. Deleted means deleted.
Delete from inside the app
- Open Settings.
- Next to Delete account, tap Delete… (on desktop: Settings → account section → Delete…).
- Confirm. Your cloud account is erased on the spot.
Delete without the app
Uninstalled already, or can't sign in? Email hello@chainsmith.app from the address you signed in with and ask for deletion. Handled manually, normally within a few days.
What gets erased
- Your sign-in (email) and the account itself
- Your board profile and display name
- Friendships, friend requests, and your friend code
- Public medals shown on the guild board
- Your registered devices and the entire cloud sync history
What stays
- Your local chain history — it lives in a database on your own device, belongs to you, and is never touched by account deletion. Uninstalling on Android removes local app data; on Windows, the database may remain until you delete it.
- Usage statistics already sent — these use a random installation identifier that is separate from your account, so deleting your account does not identify or erase them. Usage statistics are on by default. You can turn off future collection in Settings → Data & privacy → Anonymous usage stats; queued events are discarded before their next upload.
