Fish Pilot — Deleting your account

This page explains how to delete your Fish Pilot account and what happens to your data when you do.

There are two ways to ask for deletion: from inside the app, which is immediate, or by email if you no longer have the app installed.

Option 1 — Delete from inside the app

This is the fastest route and it takes effect straight away.

1. Open Fish Pilot.
2. Go to Profile.
3. Open Settings, then Account.
4. Tap Delete account.
5. Confirm when asked. You may be asked to sign in again first — this is a security check to confirm it is really you.

Deletion is permanent and cannot be undone.

Option 2 — Request deletion by email

If you have already uninstalled the app, or cannot sign in, email us and we will delete the account for you.

Email: contact@devello.co Subject: Account deletion request

Please send the request from the email address on the account, so we can confirm the request is genuine. If you signed in with Google or with Apple, use that same address.

If you used the app as a guest and never created an account, there is no account to delete — see Guest sessions below.

We will action your request within 30 days of receiving it.

What is deleted

Deleting your account removes all of the following, permanently:

• Your profile — display name, email address, photo, home state and preferences
• Your catch log — every catch, including its location, species, notes and measurements
• Your catch photographs, both the originals and any shared copies
• Your saved locations and saved collections
• Any of your catches that were shared with other users
• Your notification settings and push notification registration
• Your usage records
• Your sign-in account itself, so the credentials no longer work

If you signed in with Apple, we also revoke Fish Pilot's Apple sign-in token, so the app no longer appears under Settings → Apple ID → Sign in with Apple on your device.

What is not deleted

Two things survive deletion, and neither identifies you:

• Location-based caches. Fish Pilot stores fishing predictions, weather and water-body information against a geographic area, not against a person. These records contain no account identifier and are shared by everyone who looks at that area. Deleting your account does not remove them, because there is nothing in them to link to you.
• Backups, briefly. Our database keeps short-term backups for disaster recovery. Deleted data can persist in those backups for up to 7 days, after which it ages out automatically. Backups are not used to serve the app and are not accessible from it.

Your subscription is not cancelled

Deleting your Fish Pilot account does not cancel a paid subscription.

Subscriptions are managed by the app store you bought them from, not by us. If you have Fish Pilot Pro, cancel it before or after deleting your account, or you will continue to be billed:

• Google Play: Play Store → Profile → Payments and subscriptions → Subscriptions
• App Store: Settings → your name → Subscriptions

Guest sessions

Fish Pilot can be used without creating an account. If you never signed in, your data belongs to an anonymous session stored on that device only.

Uninstalling the app ends that session permanently. An anonymous session cannot be signed into again, so there is no account for us to delete and no way for anyone — including us — to retrieve it.
