Delete Account & Data
Last updated: October 31, 2026
There is no account to delete — except in GetMyNews, where a member account is optional. The other SmartnessHome apps do not use accounts — no email, no password, no server-side profile — and everything you create in them is stored on your own device. A GetMyNews member account is deleted in a few taps from the app or the website: see GetMyNews member account below.
How to delete your data
Because your data lives on your device, deleting it is in your hands, immediately and completely:
- Delete everything: uninstall the app. On Android, you can also clear the app's data first via Settings → Apps → [app] → Storage → Clear data.
- Delete a specific entry (a journal entry, a family member, a holding…): use the in-app controls on that item.
Once the app or its data is deleted from your device, we hold no copy of it — there is nothing left on our side to erase.

GetMyNews member account
Reading GetMyNews needs no account: what you swipe stays on your device, and Settings → Erase everything and start over (or uninstalling the app) deletes it. If you opened a member account, you delete it yourself, in the app or at www.getmynews.online:
- Sign in, then open Settings → Your account → Delete my account. (To keep a copy first: Settings → Download my data gives you a JSON file of your account data.)
- Choose whether your stories and comments are kept anonymously under "Deleted account" (the default) or deleted.
- Confirm. You are signed out everywhere at once, your Apple or Google sign-in is detached so that no one can sign in to the account, and your profile (name, @handle, photo, bio, link) is neutralized. Your badge and verification application end, and any identity document you submitted is purged immediately. Your previous @handles are released.
After 30 days, your birth year and two-factor settings are erased, your follows are removed and the content you chose to delete is removed for good; kept content reappears under "Deleted account" and earns nothing. GetMyNews keeps what the law requires (earnings and payout records), its moderation and security records, and the anonymized public record of any story that entered its fact-checking tribunal; encrypted backups roll over within 30 days. If you have unpaid creator earnings, wait for your last payout or write first: payouts go only to active accounts.
If you can no longer sign in (lost Apple or Google account, no two-factor recovery code), write to contact@getmynews.online from the e-mail address registered on your account: once the request is checked, the team deletes the account for you, with the same effects. The complete description is in GetMyNews's Your Data & Choices and Privacy Policy.
