delete your account
how to close your blob account, and what we delete vs keep, per uk gdpr.
you can delete your blob account at any time, either from inside the app or by email. this page explains both routes and exactly what happens to your data.
delete from inside the app (fastest)
- open blob on your phone
- tap the profile tab (bottom right)
- tap settings (gear icon, top right)
- scroll to account → tap delete account
- confirm — your account is closed immediately
request deletion by email
if you can't access the app or you've already uninstalled it, email help@blobme.ai from the email address you used to sign up. include the line "delete my account". we'll close the account within 30 days.
what we delete
- your profile, photos and bio
- your posts, stories, comments and reactions
- your direct messages (copies may remain in the other person's account)
- your group memberships, event rsvps, marketplace listings and petition signatures
- your authentication record and password hash
- your blob score and leaderboard rank
what we keep, and for how long
after your account is deleted, we keep a small amount of data for legal, safety and operational reasons:
- account backups — up to 90 days, then permanently removed
- moderation records — up to 3 years if your account was reported, banned or referenced in safety investigations
- transaction records — up to 24 months for marketplace transactions where required by tax / platform-reporting law
- anonymised analytics — usage metrics with no link back to your identity
we never retain identifying personal data longer than legally necessary. the full retention table is in our privacy policy.

under uk gdpr you can also ask us to export your data, correct it, or restrict how we use it. email help@blobme.ai with what you need — we respond within 30 days.
