What happens next
You have 30 days to change your mind. Your profile disappears for other people straight away, and you are signed out on every device. Your phone number, email, and handle stay yours for the 30 days. To keep your account, sign in and choose Keep my account.
Some things happen at once and are not undone if you keep your account. Events and meal plans you run pass to a cohost or co-organizer if they have one; otherwise your upcoming events are cancelled and meal plans end, and everyone involved is told. Your seats at other people's events are released, and your pending connection requests are withdrawn.
After 30 days, it is permanent. Your account, your contacts, and the rest of your data are permanently deleted. Encrypted backups roll off within 90 days and are never used to restore a deleted account.
A few limited records are kept. For example, tax and transaction records the law requires, and a record that the deletion happened that carries no name, email, or phone number. The full list is insection 6.2 of the Privacy Policy.
By email
Write to privacy@tetherup.app from the email address on your account and ask us to delete it. We verify every request before acting on it.
Subscriptions are separate
Deleting your account does not cancel a Tether+ subscription. Apple and Google handle the billing, so cancel it with them:
- App Store: on your iPhone, open Settings, tap your name, then Subscriptions, then Tether, and cancel.
- Google Play: open the Play Store, tap your profile picture, then Payments & subscriptions, then Subscriptions, then Tether, and cancel.
A Lifetime purchase is a one-time payment, so there is nothing to cancel.
