Delete Your Account and Data
Last updated: 9 July 2026
You can ask us to delete your Mathetes account and the personal data tied to it at any time. This page explains how to request it, what gets removed, and how long it takes. We have written it the way we would explain it to you in person.
How to request deletion
Email akinolajohnayomide@gmail.com from the email address on your Mathetes account, with the subject “Delete my Mathetes account”. So we can be sure the request is really you, please send it from the same email you signed up with (or tell us your full name and campus so we can verify).
You do not need the app installed to make this request, and you do not need to pay anything. If you would rather ask in person, you can also speak to your parish pastor or house leader and they will pass the request to us.
What we delete
When we process your request, we permanently remove:
- Your sign-in account (email and password / linked Google account)
- Your profile: name, date of birth, gender, phone number, level, department, and profile photo
- Your direct messages and chat messages you have sent
- Your prayer requests and Ask-Pastor submissions
- Your personal library: notes, bookmarks, highlights, reading progress, and saved verse images
- Your house and chat memberships, streaks, and notifications
What we may keep for a short time
For safety and legal reasons we may keep a limited record for up to 90 days before it too is removed:
- Basic safety and moderation records (for example, if a message was reported), so we can protect other members
- A minimal record that a deletion was requested and completed
We also keep anonymous, aggregated statistics (for example, total sign-in counts) that can no longer be linked back to you.
How long it takes
We complete deletion requests within 30 days. We will reply to confirm once it is done. After deletion you will no longer be able to sign in, and you would need to sign up again to use Mathetes.
Deleting only some of your data
You do not have to close your account to remove information. If you would rather keep your account but delete specific data, for example your profile photo, your phone number, or a particular message, email akinolajohnayomide@gmail.com and tell us exactly what to remove. We will confirm once it is done, usually within 30 days, and your account stays active.
