Delete your account

Last updated November 4, 2026.

You can delete your account on The Forum, and the information linked to it, at any time. The Forum is made by [OPERATOR].

In the app

1. Open The Forum and go to Account.
2. Tap Delete account, then confirm.

Without the app

Email thane@th.enterprises from the address on your account, with "Delete my account" as the subject. We confirm it is you by sending a code to that address. Once you send the code back, we delete the account and tell you when it's done. We answer within 45 days.

What is deleted

Your name, your email address, your votes, blocks and reports, and the text of all your comments. Where others replied to one of your comments, a "This comment was removed" placeholder stays so the conversation still reads, with no name attached. Deleting in the app also gives the app a new install ID, so reading activity from before can't be matched to the new one.

What is kept, and for how long

We delete your account from our live systems straight away. Copies in backups are overwritten within 30 days. We may keep information longer if the law requires it or to resolve a dispute that is under way.

Your reading profile, saved stories and settings are stored only on your phone, and are deleted when you delete the app.

Our Privacy Policy has the details.
