Delete Your SaveGuard Account

You can delete your SaveGuard account and your data at any time, from the app or by email.

First: cancel your subscription in Google Play

Deleting your account does not cancel a SaveGuard subscription you bought in Google Play. Google bills you, not us, and only you can cancel it there: open Google Play, then Payments & subscriptions, then Subscriptions, then SaveGuard, then Cancel subscription. If you delete first, Google can keep charging you for an account that no longer exists.

What deleting your account removes

Your profile: name, email, profile photo, notification choices and time zone
Every transaction from your linked banks and imported files
Detected subscriptions, findings, alerts, drafts, monthly reports and your confirmed-savings ledger
Goals, debts and trials you entered, and net-worth snapshots
Saved receipt and share-card images
Your push notification registration
Your bank connections: we tell Plaid to remove them, and keep retrying if Plaid is unavailable
Your subscriber record at RevenueCat (our subscription provider)
Your household link, so a partner no longer sees you
Your sign-in

Deletion is permanent. The statement files you upload are never stored by us; the app also removes its temporary copy from your phone as soon as it is read, and signing out or deleting your account clears the app's local data on that phone.

What remains for a short time, and how long

A clean-up marker. A record with an opaque identifier and no personal data stays for up to about two hours (at most three days if a clean-up run is delayed). It lets us delete anything written by a session that was still open on another device when you deleted.
Database backups: up to 35 days, for disaster recovery only. They are never used to restore a deleted account.
Operational logs: 30 days. They can contain your account identifier and some merchant names.
Crash reports held by Sentry: 30 days.
Plaid, RevenueCat, Expo, Google and AWS keep what their own policies say. Plaid is your bank-data provider and has its own relationship with you; see Plaid's End User Privacy Policy.

Choose a deletion method

📱

Delete your account (in the app, immediate)

Open SaveGuard, tap your profile, then "Delete account," and confirm. Your account is closed and your data is removed right away. No email needed.

🧹

Delete your data but keep your account (in the app, immediate)

Open SaveGuard, tap your profile, then "Delete all files & data," and confirm. This removes your transactions and imported files, the subscriptions, alerts and findings built from them, your confirmed-savings ledger and monthly reports, your goals, debts and trials, your profile photo and saved images, and disconnects your banks. It keeps your sign-in, name, email, notification choices, your SaveGuard subscription and your household link. The app shows this exact list before you confirm.
