Delete your account & data

Application: ClearCut (package com.srivastavapro.clearcut)
Last updated: 30 May 2026

This page explains how to request deletion of your ClearCut account and the data associated with it, what gets deleted, what may be kept, and for how long.

In short: You can delete your account yourself, instantly, from inside the ClearCut app — no request needed. If you can't access the app, you can also email us. Either way, your account and the cloud data tied to it are permanently removed.

Option 1 — Delete it yourself in the app (recommended)

ClearCut has a built-in, one-tap permanent deletion. This is the fastest way and takes effect immediately.

Open ClearCut and go to the Account tab (Settings).
Scroll to the Account section and tap "Delete account".
Read the confirmation, type DELETE to confirm, and tap Delete.
Your account is deleted right away: you're signed out, your cloud profile and group/trip/budget memberships are removed, and all data on the device is erased.

For your security, Google may ask you to sign in again first — if so, sign out, sign back in, and tap Delete account once more to finish.

Option 2 — Ask us by email

If you can't open the app, we'll delete your account for you.

Send an email to support@getclearcut.org.
Use the subject line "Delete my ClearCut account".
Send it from the same email address you used for Google sign-in, or include the phone number you used for OTP sign-in, so we can verify and locate your account.
We will confirm and complete the deletion, then email you when it's done.

What is deleted

Your ClearCut account (Firebase Authentication record).
Your profile data stored in the cloud: display name, email or phone number, and profile photo reference.
Cloud data owned by you — shared groups, trips, and budget plans that you created, including their expenses and history.
Your membership in any shared groups, trips, or budget plans created by others.

What is kept (and why)

Data	Kept?	Reason / retention
Shared groups/trips/budgets created by other members	Kept for the other members	Records other people still rely on are not deleted; we only remove your membership and the personal profile data that identifies you. You can ask the group owner to remove the relevant entries.
On-device data (your local expenses, drafts, and SMS-derived spends)	Not held by us	This data lives only on your phone — it is never uploaded. It is removed when you delete it in the app or uninstall ClearCut. We cannot access or delete it remotely.
SMS messages / SMS content	Never collected	SMS is read and processed entirely on your device and is never uploaded, so there is nothing on our side to delete.
Email-server logs of invitations you sent	Limited period	Transactional invite emails may appear in standard mail-delivery logs and are purged on a rolling basis (within 30 days).

How long it takes

In-app deletion is immediate — your account and cloud profile are removed as soon as you confirm. Email requests are processed within 30 days. In both cases, copies in routine encrypted backups are purged within 90 days. We do not retain your account data beyond these periods except where required by law.
