CineSeek
Delete Your Account
Last updated: 25 August 2026
You can delete your CineSeek account and its data yourself, from inside the app, at any time. You do not need to contact us and you do not need to give a reason.
Deletion is permanent and immediate. It cannot be undone. There is no grace period and no way for us to restore a deleted account.
Delete from inside the app
- Open CineSeek and sign in.
- Go to the Profile tab.
- Tap the Settings icon.
- Scroll to the Other section.
- Tap Delete account.
- Confirm twice. The second dialog is the point of no return.
You are signed out as soon as deletion completes, and the app's data on that device is wiped at the same time.
If you cannot sign in
If you have lost access to your account, first try Forgot Password? on the sign-in screen. If that does not work, email cineseek.app@gmail.com from the email address registered to the account and ask us to delete it. We verify the request came from that address, complete the deletion within 30 days, and confirm by email when it is done.
What is deleted
| Data | What happens |
|---|---|
| Authentication record (email, password hash) | Deleted |
| Profile (username, avatar, genre preferences) | Deleted |
| Posts, comments, likes | Deleted |
| Follows and followers | Deleted |
| Ratings, favorites, watchlist, watched history | Deleted |
| Learned taste profile and behavioural signals | Deleted |
| App data cached on your device | Wiped on the device you delete from |
What may be kept, and why
- Content reports you filed or that were filed about you — kept while moderation is in progress so repeat abuse can be acted on, then removed.
- Records we are required to keep by law — retained only for as long as the law requires.
- Server and security logs — rotate out automatically on a short cycle.
None of these identify you publicly or appear anywhere in the app after deletion.
Alternatives to deleting
If the problem is visibility rather than the account itself, you may not need to delete:
- Settings ▸ Privacy ▸ Profile Visibility — hide individual profile sections.
- Settings ▸ Privacy ▸ Taste Twin Visibility ▸ Hidden — stop being suggested to others.
- Settings ▸ Other ▸ Reset recommendations — clear the learned taste model without losing your account.
- Settings ▸ Other ▸ Logout — sign out and clear this device, keep the account.
