Your data
Delete your WanderSwipe account
You can permanently delete your WanderSwipe account at any time, directly in the app. No request form, no waiting on support — you're in control of it and it takes about thirty seconds.
How to delete your account
- Open the WanderSwipe app and sign in.
- Go to Profile (the rightmost tab in the bottom navigation).
- Scroll to the bottom and tap Delete account.
- Type DELETE in the confirmation box to confirm you meant it.
- Tap Permanently delete.
You'll be signed out immediately on every device, and you won't be able to sign back in.
What happens to your data
The moment you confirm:
- Every active session is destroyed — you're signed out everywhere at once.
- Your sign-in credentials are permanently invalidated, so the account cannot be accessed again.
- Your email address is released, so you're free to sign up again later with the same address.
- Your public profile stops being visible to other travelers. Anywhere your name or photo used to appear, other users now see only "Deleted user".
- Your account and everything attached to it — profile details, photo, swipes, wishlist, trips, bookings, reviews, chats, Tribe posts and comments, and notification settings — are marked for deletion.
Marked data is then held for up to 12 months before it is permanently erased from our systems by an automated process. We keep this window for fraud investigation, payment disputes, and legal obligations — it is described in Privacy Policy §13.2. During that period the data is not visible to other users and is not used to personalize anyone's experience.
Two things behave differently, so that deleting your account doesn't erase other people's history or plans. Messages you already sent are not retracted from the other person's conversation — they stay visible to that recipient, attributed to "Deleted user", until the retention window closes and they are purged with the rest of your data. And group meetups you organized stay available to the other attendees, with your identity stripped and replaced by "Deleted user", so their plans aren't cancelled out from under them. This is covered in Privacy Policy §15.7.
If you can't sign in
If you've lost access to your account and can't complete the in-app steps, email privacy@wanderswipe.site from the address on the account, with the subject line "Account deletion request". We'll verify it's you and complete the deletion for you. We acknowledge requests within 48 hours and complete them within 30 days.
Deleting individual data instead
If you'd rather not delete the whole account, you can remove most things individually from the app: clear your profile photo, empty your wishlist, leave trips and Tribes, or delete posts and comments you've made. You can also ask for a copy of your data, or for specific information to be corrected or erased, by emailing privacy@wanderswipe.site. Your rights here are set out in Privacy Policy §15 and, for users in India, §21.3 under the DPDP Act 2023.
