Delete your account

Last updated: 1 August 2026

You can delete your BluShelf account yourself, from inside the app, without contacting us. This page explains how to do it, what happens to your data, and how to ask us to erase it straight away if you'd rather not wait.

1. How to delete it from the app

  1. Open BluShelf and sign in to your account.
  2. Tap your profile picture in the top right to open the account menu.
  3. Choose "Delete my account", at the bottom of the menu.
  4. Read the notice and, if your account has a password, type it to confirm it's you. Accounts created with Google or Apple won't be asked for one.
  5. Tap "Deactivate my account". You are signed out immediately.

2. What happens next

Your account is deactivated immediately: you can no longer sign in and your profile stops being visible. We keep your data for 90 days, after which it is deleted automatically and permanently.

Why 90 days? It gives you room to change your mind, and a way back if the deletion wasn't your doing. If you sign in again within that window with your usual credentials, the app will ask whether you want to restore the account and you'll get it back with everything in it. After 90 days there is no way back.

3. What is deleted and what isn't

Deleted after 90 days Kept, but no longer linked to you
  • Your profile: name, username, email, photo, country and phone
  • Your collection and its purchase details
  • Your shelves and where your copies sit on them
  • What you've watched and your ratings
  • Your loans and their history
  • Your devices and notifications
  • Editions you added to the catalogue
  • Reports you filed and their comments

These are contributions to the shared catalogue that other collectors keep using. They are detached from your account and stop being associated with you.

4. Immediate deletion, without waiting 90 days

If you want all your data erased now, email privacy@blushelf.app from your account's email address, saying you want immediate deletion. This also works if you no longer have the app installed or can't sign in.

We verify that the request comes from the account holder before deleting anything. We reply within 30 days at the latest, and usually much sooner.

5. Your rights

Besides deletion, you can exercise your rights of access, rectification, objection, restriction and portability by writing to the same address. The details are in our Privacy Policy.
