Delete Your Account

You can request deletion of your Simply Family Budget account at any time. The exact result depends on your role in the family workspace and whether other members still rely on that shared data.

Option 1 — From the app

If you still have access to your account, use the in-app delete-account flow. In the web app this is available in Settings. In the mobile app this is available in Settings under the danger zone.

Option 2 — Request via email

If you are unable to access your account, you can request deletion by emailing us at:

[email protected]

Please send the request from the email address associated with your account whenever possible. We may ask for reasonable verification before acting on an email deletion request.

What server-side deletion does

• Your user account is permanently deleted from active systems
• Active sessions, authentication tokens, public API tokens, and trusted-browser credentials are deleted or revoked, and account access stops working
• Password reset records, verification records, linked identity records, user notifications, and other direct account-access records are removed from active systems
• If you are the only member in a family, the family and its related budgeting data are deleted from active systems as well
• If other members remain in the family, the shared family workspace may remain for them after your user account is removed

Deletion limits for shared families

If you are the last owner in a family that still has other members, self-serve deletion may be blocked. In that situation, transfer ownership or remove the remaining members first, then try again.

Inactive zero-activity accounts

We may delete accounts without notice when they are at least 365 days old, have had no login or other account activity for at least 180 days, and have zero stored budget data, meaning no wallets, budgets, transactions, or custom categories.

If the inactive account is the only member in a family workspace, the empty family workspace may be deleted with the account. If other members remain, deletion may be skipped where a replacement owner would be required.

What may remain temporarily

• Encrypted backups or infrastructure snapshots may retain deleted information for a limited period before they cycle out
• Operational logs, security records, and mail-delivery records may persist for a limited period where reasonably necessary for security, abuse prevention, compliance, or troubleshooting
• Founder/support contact history and feedback answers may remain as support records after the account link is removed
• Copies stored on your own browsers or devices may remain until the app clears them, you sign out, or you remove local app or browser data

Important warning

Account deletion is intended to be permanent and generally cannot be undone. If you may need your data later, export what you need before deleting the account.
