Delete your Flatkin account
Tiago Oliver Pinheiro Oliveira · Updated 29 October 2026
You can delete your Flatkin account in the app or request deletion by email. You can use email even if you no longer have the app installed. Account deletion is permanent and removes your access to all your households.
In the app
- Open Flatkin with the account you want to delete.
- Go to Settings.
- Open Account and select Delete account.
- Read what will be deleted and what remains in shared households.
- Confirm that you want to delete your account.
If you're signed in and have no household, tap Delete my account on the screen shown when you enter the app and confirm deletion. You don't need to create a household or link Apple or Google to delete a guest account.
Signing out or uninstalling Flatkin does not delete your account or the history stored on the server. Deleting your Flatkin account does not delete your Apple Account or Google account.
By email, without opening the app
Email tiopioli89@gmail.com from the email address associated with your account. You can use the subject “Delete my Flatkin account” and say that you want your account and its associated data deleted.
We complete deletion within 30 days of receiving your request and confirm when it is done. Do not send passwords or sign-in codes.
If you used guest access without a linked email address, or you can no longer use your account's email, contact us anyway. Tell us the name you used and the households you belonged to; we will help verify that the account is yours using the minimum necessary information. A name alone is not enough to delete someone else's account.
What is deleted
- Your Flatkin account and its account profile data.
- Your sessions and the Apple or Google sign-in records linked in Flatkin, including stored authentication tokens.
- Your notification tokens and their associated subscriptions.
- Your access memberships in households.
- The board notes and comments you wrote in households with other members.
- Houses that nobody else has access to, including all their content, even if people have been added but haven't joined yet.
- The household’s Google Calendar connection if you connected it or were the only administrator, including the tokens and selected calendar stored for that connection.
Disconnecting Google Calendar stops synchronisation. It does not automatically delete events already written to your Google calendar; you can manage them there.
If you signed in with Apple
If your account is linked to Apple, we remove the tokens stored in Flatkin when we delete the account from active systems. We then attempt to request revocation of access from Apple, provided we have a token and the necessary configuration. The request may fail or may not be made; your Flatkin account remains deleted. After deletion, check the authorisation on your iPhone: open Settings › [your name] › Sign in with Apple. If Flatkin is still listed, select it, tap Delete and confirm that you want to stop using Sign in with Apple.
If you used Hide My Email, you do not need to disclose your real email to ask for help. Delete the account in the app, or email tiopioli89@gmail.com and say that you used this option. We will verify the account using the minimum information needed; do not send passwords or codes.
What remains and for how long
| Data | What happens and for how long |
|---|---|
| Account, sessions, Apple or Google sign-in records, notification tokens and access memberships. | Deleted from active systems when deletion is completed. Email requests are completed within 30 days. The Apple revocation request is explained above. |
| Houses that nobody else has access to. | Entirely deleted from active systems when deletion is completed, even if people have been added but haven't joined yet. |
| History in households with other members. | Household records, including those you created —expenses and splits, payments, transfers, reimbursements, payment claims, recorded rents and deposits, events, absences, chores and activity— may remain with your display name to preserve other members' accounts and history. They remain while needed for that history, without a fixed automatic deletion period. Household access permissions continue to apply. |
| Technical security records and backups. | May remain until deletion or replacement according to their purpose and the retention cycle configured with the provider. A single deletion period for every copy has not been verified; we do not guarantee removal within 30 days. You can ask us for the applicable period. |
| Data subject to a specific legal obligation. | Only if such an obligation exists, we retain the necessary data, with restricted access, for the legally required period. Shared history is not retained under a general Flatkin tax or accounting obligation. We will explain any legal retention affecting your request. |
You can email tiopioli89@gmail.com to request replacement of your name in shared history or erasure of personal data that remains there. We will assess which data is still necessary and explain our response to your request. Account deletion does not automatically replace your name in that history. Keeping household records does not keep your account or your access active.
If you are an administrator
If you are the only administrator of a household with other members and delete your account, the household continues working, but nobody will be able to change administrator-only settings. Consider this before confirming. Another administrator is not appointed automatically.
