Delete your Blind Fate account

Last updated 18 August 2026

This page explains how to delete your account and your data in Blind Fate, the app published by Blind Fate App Ltd. You can do it yourself from inside the app, and you do not have to ask us or give a reason.

Delete it yourself, from inside the app

Open Blind Fate.
Go to Settings.
Tap delete my account, at the bottom.
Confirm when you are asked. That is it, and it happens straight away.

Or ask us, if you cannot get into the app

Email blindfateapp@gmail.com. A person reads it and will confirm when it is done.

We will need enough to be sure which account is yours, and we will not guess. Blind Fate deliberately holds no email address or phone number against your account, and first names are not unique, so "please delete my account, I am Sam" is not something we can safely act on. Deleting the wrong account would be worse than not deleting yours: it would wipe a stranger's bookings, and it would clear the blocks someone may be relying on to stay away from a person. We would rather ask you a question than take that risk.

The things that let us find the right account, roughly in order of how well they work:

The venue, date and time of a table you booked. This is usually enough on its own.
Your first name as you entered it, plus your subject.
The phone you used, if you still have it: opening the app and deleting from Settings is always faster and always works.

If we genuinely cannot tell which account is yours, we will say so rather than delete something at random. Under UK data protection law we are not required to collect more information about you purely to identify you, and we would rather hold less about you in the first place. That is the trade this app makes on purpose.

If you only ever joined the signup list and never made an account, that list is keyed by email address. Say so and we will remove it.

What is deleted

Deletion is real, not a hidden flag on a row we keep. When your account goes, so do:

Your profile: your first name, subject, interests, bio, and your matching preferences.
Your bookings and arrival records.
Your identity verification result.
The notification token that let us reach your phone.
Your messages are anonymised, so they can no longer be traced back to you.

What is kept, and for how long

A few things outlive the account, for reasons we would rather be honest about than quiet about. These match our Privacy Policy.

What	How long	Why
Account data	While your account exists, and 30 days after you delete it	The account itself is removed the moment you confirm
Messages	90 days, or longer where needed for a safety or legal investigation	Anonymised at deletion, then removed on the normal schedule
Safety reports and blocks	As long as necessary to protect other users, which may be after your account is deleted	So that someone cannot delete their account to escape a report, or to undo a block that another person relies on
The billing line for a night you actually turned up to	Kept, but with you removed from it	A venue is invoiced per person who walked in. Deleting the line would take money off a bill they had already earned, so instead your name and your account are stripped out of it and what is left is a date, a time, a venue and an amount, with nothing pointing back to you

We never held your identity documents or photographs at any point, so there is nothing of that kind for us to delete. They go directly to our verification provider and never reach us.

Your other rights

You can also ask us for a copy of your data, ask us to correct it, object to how we use it, or complain to the Information Commissioner's Office. Our full Privacy Policy explains all of it, and support is here if you would rather just ask a person.
