Last updated: October 26, 2026

1. How to delete your account

Account deletion is available on the web and in the iOS and Android apps. Sign in to the account you want to delete, then:

  1. Open Settings on the web. In the mobile app, swipe from the left edge of the Events screen to open the menu, then tap your name to open Settings.
  2. Scroll to the Data & privacy section.
  3. Select Delete account.
  4. Read both confirmation prompts. Cancel to keep your account, or confirm the final deletion to proceed.

Account deletion is permanent and cannot be undone.

2. Data that is deleted

When you delete your account, the following data is permanently removed:

  • Your profile information - name, phone number, and all account details
  • Your profile picture - removed from our storage
  • Events you created - all events where you are the host, including:
    • Event details (name, date, location, description)
    • Event background images
    • Guest lists and RSVPs
    • Event activities and schedules
    • Event documents and files
  • Your authentication data - login credentials and all active sessions

3. Data that may be retained

Some information may be retained for legitimate purposes:

  • Guest records at other users' events - If you were invited as a guest to someone else's event, your guest record (name, RSVP status) is preserved for the event host, but your account link is removed. This allows hosts to maintain accurate records of their events.
  • Anonymized or aggregated data - Statistical data that cannot identify you may be retained for analytics and service improvement.
  • Legal obligations - Certain data may be retained as required by law (e.g., financial records, fraud prevention).

Retention periods for any preserved data follow our data retention policy.

4. Export your data before deletion

Before deleting your account, you can export a copy of your data:

  1. Open Settings on the web or in the Festi app.
  2. Find the Data & privacy section and select Export my data.
  3. On the web, a JSON file downloads. In the mobile app, use the share sheet to save or share the JSON file.

The export includes your profile information, events you created, and guest records where you were invited. We recommend downloading this before deleting your account.

5. Processing time

Deletion starts after your final confirmation. Wait for the success message; removing event photos and other stored data can take longer for larger accounts. If an error appears, follow its instructions or contact us. After successful deletion, you are signed out. Using the same phone number again creates a new account; it does not restore the deleted data.

6. Need help?
