Delete your account

Last updated: 23 July 2026

The fastest path: delete in the app

If you can sign in to the 555 Notebook Android app, you can delete your account directly:

Open the app and sign in.
Go to Profile (top-right) → Delete account.
Confirm with your password (email accounts) or re-authenticate with Google (Google sign-in accounts).

If you own a trip with other approved members, transfer ownership to one of them in Trip Settings before deleting your account. This protects their access and prevents a shared trip from being left without an owner.

Once any required ownership transfer is complete, identifying account data is removed from the production database immediately and the app signs you out. Deletion of your avatar and solo-trip receipt images from cloud object storage is initiated as part of the same process.

If you can't access the app

If you've uninstalled the app, lost device access, or can't sign in for any reason, send a deletion request by email:

Email: contact@notebook555.com
Subject: Account deletion request
From: the email address registered on your 555 Notebook account

Please include in the body:

Confirmation that you want your account deleted
(Optional) the trip names you remember, to help us locate the account if your email has changed

We respond within 3 business days and complete the deletion within 30 days of receiving the request.

What gets deleted

When your account is deleted:

Personal data is removed: your name is replaced with "Deleted User", your email is anonymized, your password and Google account link are cleared, and your profile photo is deleted from our storage.
Trips you owned alone (with no other members) are deleted entirely, including their receipts and receipt images.
Push tokens, notifications, unused credits, credit transaction history, and raw Google Play purchase tokens tied to your account are deleted. We retain only a one-way token fingerprint, without your user or account ID, to prevent the same purchase from granting credits again. Google retains its own payment records under its policies.

What stays — and why

If you participated in trips with other people, the financial records of those trips are preserved — your past expenses, splits, and settlements remain visible to other trip members. This is intentional: deleting the data would silently change everyone else's balance and break trip integrity for the people who relied on it.

Your name on those records is replaced with the placeholder "Deleted User"; no other identifying information remains.

Before you delete

You may want to export your data first. Open the app → Profile → Export my data, or contact us by email and we'll send you a copy.

Backup retention

Database backups are retained for up to 30 days. After backup expiry, your former identifying account data is gone from our systems. Anonymized financial records in shared trips remain under "Deleted User" for the reasons explained above.
