Delete your account
Effective October 3, 2026
You can delete your Balarnse account and data at any time — in the app, or by email if you no longer have it.
Delete in the app
- Open Balarnse and tap the menu, then ⚙️ Settings.
- Scroll down and tap “Delete my account”.
- Read what will be deleted, type DELETE and tap “Request deletion”.
- You'll get an email confirming the request. You can tap “Keep my account” any time before the deletion date.
Without the app
Email privacy@balarnse.app from the address you signed up with, with the subject “Delete my Balarnse account”. We'll confirm the request and delete your account on the same timeline as in-app requests.
What gets deleted
- Your profile and sign-in (email, name, photo, phone).
- Your chats with Buddy, voice notes, call transcripts and Recovery Circles.
- Your journal, CBT records, recovery plan, check-ins, cravings and slip logs, assessments and safety plan.
- Your credits balance (unused credits are not refundable) and notifications.
What we keep
If you made payments or booked a session, the law requires us to keep those financial records. In that case your account is anonymised instead of removed: the payment record stays, but nothing in it identifies you any more.
How long it takes
Your account is deleted within 7 days of your request — sooner once our team has reviewed it. Until then you can cancel and keep your account.
