Data deletion
LAST UPDATED: OCTOBER 5, 2026
You can delete your Pinch account and all associated data at any time.
What gets deleted
When you delete your account, we permanently remove:
- Your account information (name, email)
- Every recipe in your recipe book
- Photos, links and text you uploaded for recipe extraction
- Your scan credits and credit history
We keep a one-way hash of your sign-in account identifier so the free sign-up credits can't be claimed twice. It can't be used to identify you or recover any of your data. See our privacy policy for details.
How to request deletion
Option 1: In-app
- Open Pinch
- Tap the profile button in the top corner
- Tap Delete account
- Confirm with Delete everything
If you signed in with Apple, you'll be asked to confirm with Apple so we can revoke Pinch's access to your Apple ID.
Option 2: Email
If you no longer have the app installed, send a deletion request to apps@coady.me from the email address associated with your account.
Processing time
- In-app deletion happens immediately
- Email requests are processed within 30 days, and we'll reply to confirm once it's done
- Data in routine backups and logs is removed as those expire (see the privacy policy)
Important notes
- Account deletion is permanent and cannot be undone
- Your recipes are not recoverable after deletion
- Any unused scan credits, including ones you bought, are lost
