What Data Will Be Deleted

When you request account deletion, the following data will be permanently removed:

Your account information (username, email, profile picture)
Your favorite sounds and the videos you liked
Every sound and video you uploaded, including the files, cover images and details you entered
Your contribution bonus and other settings linked to your account

What We Keep

Sounds we have already approved and published stay on SoundInstants. Email us if you want them removed.
Reports you sent about sounds are kept for moderation, with no link to your account.
If you bought the Remove Ads subscription, the transaction record (Google Play purchase token, product, status and expiry date) is unlinked from your account and kept for 5 years after the subscription ends, to process notifications from Google Play, handle payment disputes and meet accounting and tax obligations. We never store your card or payment account details.

⚠️ Important Warning

This action is permanent and cannot be undone. Once your account is deleted, you will not be able to recover your data, favorites, or any other information associated with your account.

Data Retention Period

Your account is deleted from our database immediately upon confirmation, and uploaded files are removed from our storage within about 15 minutes. Some backup data may be retained for up to 30 days for security and legal compliance purposes, after which it will be permanently removed from all systems.
