Delete your account & data

Last updated: 14 July 2026

You can delete your MealGenie account and personal data at any time. This page explains exactly how to request deletion, what is removed, how long it takes and what may be retained for legal reasons. This applies to the MealGenie app (Android package com.mydishgenie.app).

1. How to request deletion

  1. Email us from your account address

    Send an email to alamtabrez@gmail.com from the same email address you use to sign in, with the subject line "Delete my account". Using your account email lets us verify the request is really yours.

  2. Or use the in-app option

    If your version of the app includes an in-app delete option, open Settings → Account and follow the prompts to request deletion. Either route reaches the same place.

  3. We confirm and process it

    We'll confirm we've received your request and then permanently delete your account and associated personal data. If we need anything to verify your identity, we'll reply to your account email.

2. What deletion removes

Permanently deleted

  • Your account and sign-in association
  • Your profile and food preferences
  • Location, household, dietary, allergy and taste settings
  • Saved recipes and meal history
  • Uploaded kitchen photos and cooked-meal photos
  • Your Family Circle membership and connections
  • Your device push token

May be briefly retained

  • Limited records required for legal, tax or accounting reasons (for example a proof-of-purchase record)
  • Security and abuse-prevention logs, kept only as long as necessary
  • Backups, which are rotated and overwritten on a normal schedule

Any retained data is minimized and is not used to personalize meals after deletion.

Deletion is permanent. Once your account is deleted it cannot be recovered, and you would need to start fresh if you sign up again. Subscriptions are billed by the App Store or Google Play — cancel there separately to stop future charges; see the Terms.

3. How long it takes

We process deletion requests within 30 days of receiving and verifying them, and usually much sooner. Copies held in routine backups are removed as those backups are rotated. If anything delays your request, we'll let you know by email.

4. Clearing data without deleting your account

If you'd rather keep your account but remove some information, you have lighter-touch options:

  • Edit or clear preferences — most profile and preference fields can be changed or emptied directly in the app.
  • Remove saved items — delete individual saved recipes or photos you no longer want.
  • Leave Family Circle — remove yourself or members from your Family Circle.
  • Turn off notifications — disable notifications in your device or app settings; this removes the need for your push token.

If you'd like help with a partial cleanup, email alamtabrez@gmail.com and we'll walk you through it.
