How to Delete Your Account
You can delete your Forkplate account directly from the app. Follow these steps:
- Open the Forkplate app
- Go to the Settings tab
- Scroll down and tap Delete Account
- Confirm the deletion in the dialog that appears
Your account and all associated personal data will be permanently deleted immediately.
What Data Gets Deleted
When you delete your account, the following data is permanently removed from our servers:
- Your user profile and authentication record
- All personal recipes and their associated images
- All personal labels you created to organize recipes
- All personal meal plan entries
- All meal ratings and reviews you have submitted
Family Data
If you are a member of a family group, recipes and meal plans that belong to the family will remain accessible to other family members after your account is deleted. Your family membership will be removed.
If you are the owner of a family group, you must transfer ownership or delete the family before deleting your account.
Local Data
Data stored locally on your device (offline recipes, cached images) is not automatically removed when you delete your account. To remove local data, uninstall the app from your device.
Processing Time
Account deletion is processed immediately when you confirm the action in the app. There is no waiting period — your account and personal data are permanently removed right away.
Uploaded images may take up to 7 days to be fully removed from our storage servers.
Cannot Access the App?
If you are unable to delete your account through the app (e.g., you no longer have access to your device), you can request account deletion by email:
Send an email to info@forkplate.eu with the subject line "Delete My Account". Please include the email address associated with your Forkplate account. We will process your request within 30 days.
