Delete Your Account

This page explains how to delete your Spectoo account or your data, what each option removes, and what is retained. It applies to the website at spectoo.app and the Spectoo mobile applications (the “Service”).

1. Before you delete: export your data

Deletion is permanent and cannot be undone. If you want a copy of your watch history, ratings, collections, and lists, use the in-app export tool first: open Settings → Data Portability → Export Data to download a ZIP of everything you have tracked.

2. Delete your account in the app

Account deletion is available in the app on every platform. You will be asked to type your username to confirm.

• On the web — sign in at spectoo.app, open Settings → Data Portability, and choose Delete My Account.
• On Android — open your profile, tap the settings icon to open Settings, and choose Delete My Account.
• On iOS — open your profile, tap the settings icon to open Settings, and choose Delete My Account.

3. What account deletion removes — and what is retained

Deleting your account permanently removes your login, profile, avatar and uploaded files, watch history, ratings, watchlist, collections, lists, badges, notifications, and follows. Two things are retained:

• Comments in active threads are anonymized, not removed. Comments with no replies from other people are deleted outright. A comment that other people have replied to keeps the thread readable: its text and media are erased and it is shown as “[deleted]”, with no link to you.
• Reports filed by other users about your account remain. They are the reporting users’ records, not yours. Reports you filed about others are deleted with your account.

4. “Delete all my data” (keep your account)

Next to account deletion the app offers Delete All My Data, a partial wipe that keeps your login. It permanently deletes everything you have tracked and created — watch history, ratings, watchlist, collections, lists, badges, notifications, comments (anonymized in active threads, as above), uploaded files, and your avatar. It keeps your profile, settings, follows, and blocks.

5. If you cannot access your account

If you cannot sign in — including if your account is suspended, in which case in-app deletion is not available and email is your only channel — send a deletion request to [email protected] from the email address on the account. We verify your identity against the account email and respond within one month, consistent with our Privacy Policy.
