How to delete your account
1. Open the Tink app.
2. Tap the profile icon to open Settings.
3. Tap Delete my data and confirm.
The app erases your data from our servers first, then wipes everything on your phone. If the server can't be reached, nothing is half-deleted — the app tells you and you can try again.
Deleted the app already?
Reinstall Tink, sign in with the same Google or Apple account you used before — this restores your account, no password needed — then follow the steps above. This works no matter how long ago you uninstalled.
If you can't reinstall (lost device access, for example), email support@tinkdate.com from any address and we'll help within 30 days. Because we don't currently store your email address, we may need a few details from you to locate the right record.
What gets deleted
Immediately and permanently: your user ID's server records — your display name, your saved-partner list, your push notification token, your activity ledger, and any pending invites you've sent or received. (Past sessions' records never contained your identity in the first place — they exist only as anonymous statistics.) The same action then wipes the app's data on your phone: your name, saved people, and past date ideas.
What is kept
Anonymous statistics, plus two narrow safety records. Aggregated, de-identified usage statistics (for example, "how many sessions happened this week" or which venues get chosen) contain no user identifiers and cannot be traced back to you; pseudonymous analytics events age out at our provider within about 3 months. The safety exceptions, both described in the Privacy Policy: safety reports filed about you are kept as enforcement records (if you filed a report, your identity is removed from it when you delete), and a suspension survives deletion — deleting an account cannot lift it.
One caveat about phone backups
If your phone backs the app up (iPhone encrypted backups, or Android's Google backup), a backup made before you deleted can restore old app data to a phone later — that copy lives in your device backup, which we cannot reach. If old data reappears after a restore, run Delete my data once more: it erases both the device copy and anything the restored app synced back to your account.
A note on signing in again
Your Tink identity comes from your Google or Apple sign-in. If you sign in again after deleting, you'll get the same user ID back — but it will be a blank slate: the server keeps nothing between deletion and any future sign-in.
