Should I? — Account Management
Delete Your Account
You can request the deletion of your Should I? account and all data associated with it at any time. This page explains exactly how to do that, what gets deleted, and how long it takes.
Who this applies to
Should I? has two types of users:
- Anonymous users — no sign-in required. Your data is linked to a randomly generated device identifier, not your name or email.
- Google Sign-In users — signed in via Google. Your email, display name, and profile picture are stored alongside your activity.
Both types of users can request full deletion of their data.
How to request account deletion
Send an email to our support address
Email us at support@shouldi.fun with the subject line: "Account Deletion Request"
Include your identifying information
If you signed in with Google: include the email address used. If you are an anonymous user: include the approximate date you started using the app and, if possible, the text of any questions you posted.
Confirm your request
We may reply to confirm your identity before processing the deletion. This is to protect you from unauthorized deletion requests.
We process your request within 30 days
We will confirm via email once your account and associated data have been deleted.
What gets deleted
When your account deletion request is processed, the following data is permanently deleted:
- Your account record (email address, display name, profile picture — Google Sign-In users only)
- All questions you have posted
- All votes you have cast
- All Takes (short comments) you have submitted
- Your device identifier and push notification token
- All notification history associated with your account
What is retained and why
- Vote counts on questions — Questions posted by other users may have counted your vote in their total (e.g., "2,341 people voted"). The aggregate count is retained on those questions, but your individual vote record is deleted. Your identity is never revealed in aggregate counts.
- Server access logs — Standard server logs (IP address, timestamps) may be retained for up to 90 days for security purposes, after which they are automatically purged.
- Legal obligations — If we are required by law to retain certain records, we will notify you.
Timeline
We process all deletion requests within 30 days of receiving and confirming your request. You will receive an email confirmation once deletion is complete. Account data is deleted immediately upon processing. Server log data is purged on its standard 90-day cycle.
