Delete via this page
If you no longer have access to the app, submit a request below. We verify it against the email on your account before executing.
Data removed
The following are permanently erased from our active systems:
| Category | Examples |
|---|---|
| Account profile | Email, display name, avatar, partner email |
| Authentication | Firebase Auth user record, password hash, OAuth tokens |
| Sessions you hosted | Room metadata, queue, listener list |
| Library content | Uploaded MP3 files in Firebase Storage, share grants |
| Playlists | All playlists you created and their items |
| Preferences | Theme, default volume, sync quality, notification toggles |
| Entitlement record | Plan tier and history |
Anonymised diagnostics that contain no identifier capable of pointing back at you (e.g. an aggregate crash count) may remain in our analytics for the standard Firebase retention windows.
Data retained & why
A small amount of information is retained only where law requires:
| Category | Why | How long |
|---|---|---|
| Deletion request record | Legal proof we honoured your request | 12 months |
| Tax & billing records (paid users only) | Statutory accounting requirements | As required by local tax law (typically up to 7 years) |
| Abuse / fraud markers | Prevent re-creation of accounts that violated the Terms | Until no longer needed |
Timeline
- T+0: request received and acknowledged automatically.
- Within 72 hours: a human verifies the request matches the account email.
- Within 24 hours of verification (typical): account, library, playlists, sessions, and preferences are deleted from active systems.
- Within 30 days: deletion is propagated through backups (encrypted, automatically rotated).
- Within 12 months: the deletion record itself is purged (only required to demonstrate compliance).
Subscriptions
Deleting your Twunein account does not automatically cancel paid subscriptions, because they are managed by Apple or Google — not by us. Please cancel them yourself before requesting deletion:
- Google Play: Play Store app → profile icon → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions.
- App Store: Settings app → your name → Subscriptions.
If we receive a deletion request from a user with an active subscription, we will email a one-time reminder before proceeding.
Changed your mind?
If your only goal is to stop using Twunein for a while without losing anything, please use account closure — your data is retained and your account reactivates the next time you sign in (within 180 days).
