Delete your SeaWingman account

SeaWingman lets you permanently delete your account and all associated data at any time, directly from inside the app. This page is the public reference required by app store policies; the actual deletion happens in-app.

Delete from inside the app

  1. Open SeaWingman on your phone.
  2. Tap your profile icon (top right) → Settings.
  3. Scroll to the bottom of the Settings screen and tap Remove Account.
  4. Confirm by typing DELETE when prompted. You're signed out and your account is hidden from everyone right away.

When it takes effect

The moment you confirm, your account is deactivated and hidden from everyone — no one can find you, message you, or register again with your email, and you can no longer sign in. Your data is then kept for 30 days and permanently erased after that.

That 30-day window is a safety net in case you delete by mistake or change your mind. Within those 30 days, email support@seawingman.com from your account's email address and we can restore the account exactly as it was. After 30 days everything below is permanently erased and cannot be recovered.

What gets deleted

Once the 30-day window ends, all of the following is permanently removed from our database:

  • Your user account and login credentials
  • Your profile — name, date of birth, bio, photos, location, interests, status, and preferences
  • All photos you uploaded (profile photos + chat photos)
  • All chat messages you sent in 1:1 conversations and group chats
  • Your matches, likes, passes, and any other discovery interactions
  • Your group chat memberships
  • Push notification tokens for your device, blocked-user records, mute settings, and any reports you filed
  • Any premium subscription record we hold (the subscription itself is managed by Google Play or Apple — see below)

What is retained

We may retain a small set of records after deletion only where required by law or to prevent abuse:

  • Server logs containing your IP address (90 days, for fraud and abuse detection)
  • Payment receipt records (kept as long as required by tax law — usually 7 years — for accounting purposes)

These records are not linked to a personal profile after account deletion; they cannot be used to re-identify you.

Cancelling a Premium subscription

Deleting your account does not automatically cancel a Premium subscription billed through Google Play or Apple. Cancel the subscription separately before deleting the account, otherwise you may continue to be billed until the current period ends:

  • Android (Google Play):Open Play Store → tap your profile → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions → SeaWingman → Cancel subscription.
  • iOS (App Store): Open Settings → tap your name → Subscriptions → SeaWingman → Cancel Subscription.

Can't access the app? Request deletion by email

If you can't open the app for any reason (lost device, forgotten Google/Apple credentials, account locked), email support@seawingman.com from the email address tied to your SeaWingman account. Subject line: “Account deletion request”. We confirm and delete within 7 business days.
