Delete your Tasteful account

The in-app deletion control is not enabled yet. To request account deletion now, email [email protected] from the address on your account. We will verify account ownership before acting on the request. No phone call is required.

Planned in-app flow

When the control is enabled, sign in and go to Profile > Account access > Delete account, below Sign out.

What happens immediately

After you reauthenticate and confirm Schedule account deletion, Tasteful will deactivate the account immediately. Existing sessions and refresh tokens will stop working, and the app will sign you out.

Seven-day recovery

Permanent deletion will begin 604800 seconds later, seven days after confirmation. The app will show the server purge timestamp. Signing in before that deadline will present two choices: Reactivate account will restore the same account and data; Keep deletion scheduled will leave you signed out.

After the deadline

Login will show that permanent deletion has begun and cannot be canceled. Tasteful will hard-delete the user and owned rows: pantry data, meal plans, private recipes, profile data, preferences, and local family membership. Shared family data will remain for other members. If you were the family head, ownership will transfer to the longest-standing remaining member. A sole head will disband the family.

Tasteful will then revoke Sign in with Apple tokens, delete owned object-storage prefixes, Redis keys, and video-import jobs, and send a completion email. The same email or provider identity may later create a new empty account with a new user ID. Old data will never be restored.

Subscriptions

If you have an Apple subscription, deleting the Tasteful account does not cancel billing through Apple. Manage subscriptions at https://apps.apple.com/account/subscriptions.
