Account Deletion & Data Retention Policy
Delete your Dinary account
Operator: First Taste Ventures Ltd. This page explains how to delete your account and what happens to your information. It adds detail to section 8 of our Privacy Policy.
Last updated: October 27, 2026.
Delete your account in the app
- Open Dinary and go to Profile.
- Tap the ⋮ (three dots) menu.
- Tap "Delete account", then follow the prompts.
Delete your account without the app
If you can't sign in or no longer have the app, email founder@dinary.net from the email address linked to your Dinary account. Include your username and ask us to delete your account.
We may ask you to confirm it's you before we delete anything, to protect your account. We reply within 1–2 business days.
What we delete
After we confirm your request, we delete or de-identify your account and the personal information linked to it within a reasonable period. This includes:
- Your profile: name or display name, username, email address, profile photo, bio and settings.
- Your posts: photos, captions, reviews, flame ratings, tags and comments. Posts that identify you are removed from public display.
- Your saved items, preferences and the activity linked to your account.
What we keep, and why
Some limited information may be kept after deletion:
- Minimal records needed for fraud prevention, security, legal compliance, tax and accounting, resolving disputes and enforcing our Terms, kept only for the period the law allows or requires.
- Encrypted backups may hold copies until they are overwritten in the normal backup cycle. They are not restored to active use except for disaster recovery, security or legal reasons.
- De-identified data, such as aggregated ratings and statistics that can't reasonably be linked back to you, may be kept indefinitely. A restaurant's overall rating may therefore change less than removing one post would suggest.
Information that someone else provided about you, such as another user's post, isn't part of your account. You can still ask us about it at founder@dinary.net.
Before you delete
- Subscriptions aren't cancelled automatically. Subscriptions are billed by Apple. Cancel yours in your iPhone's Settings: tap your name, then Subscriptions, then Dinary. Deleting your account or the app doesn't cancel it.
- Deactivating is not deleting. Only a completed deletion request removes your account.
