Delete My Data

Last updated: September 25, 2026

Object Talk is engineered with privacy at its core and operates using an anonymous account system.

We do not require an email address, phone number, password, or social sign-in.

You have full control over your data and can delete your Object Talk account and all associated user data at any time directly within the app or via our external deletion channels.

1. Instant In-App Data Deletion (Recommended)

The fastest and most direct way to delete your account is inside Object Talk:

1. Open Object Talk.

2. Tap your Coin / Energy balance (Wallet icon at the top right).

3. Scroll down to the Data Privacy section and tap "Delete my data".

4. Review the confirmation prompt and confirm.

Upon confirmation, your active JWT session token is immediately invalidated, your server user record is permanently anonymized or purged, your coin balances are zeroed, and all locally cached media and SQLite Library records on this device are wiped immediately.

2. Request Deletion from the Web / Without the App

If you have uninstalled the app or no longer have access to your device, you can submit an external deletion request through our web portal or by email:

• Web Deletion Portal: https://www.objecttalk.xyz/delete

• Support Email: support@objecttalk.xyz

• Subject Line: [Object Talk] Account & Data Deletion Request

Details to include:

Your anonymous Device ID (available in Wallet > Delete my data) or a recent store order/transaction ID from Google Play to help us safely locate and verify your account record.

Processing time:

External web and email deletion requests are processed within 30 days.

What is permanently deleted or anonymized

When you execute an account deletion:

• Anonymous database account records and active authentication session tokens (JWTs).

• All virtual coin balances (both daily allowance and persistent coins) and lifetime earned progression.

• Referral codes, referral links, invite relationships, and invite redemption ledgers.

• In-flight pending coin deductions and reservation locks.

• Other account metadata not required to be retained for legitimate fraud prevention or financial recordkeeping.

What is cleared from your device

The app simultaneously purges all locally stored data from this device:

• All saved Library memories, Origin Discoveries, and pinned cards in local SQLite storage.

• Local scan photos, debate drafts, and cached thumbnail images in file storage.

• Daily scan streak history and unlocked secret persona progression.

• Local temporary audio speech synthesis cache and media export buffers.

• Stored device authentication JWT from hardware-backed secure storage (iOS Keychain / Android EncryptedSharedPreferences).

Information that may be legitimately retained

Some strictly limited records may be retained where required for legitimate fraud prevention, store compliance, financial accounting, or legal purposes:

• Fraud Prevention Digest: A one-way cryptographic SHA-256 HMAC hash derived from the hardware device identifier is retained in our deleted device registry solely to prevent fraudulent repeat claims of one-time starter bonuses, referral rewards, or promotional credits. It cannot be reversed or used to inspect your deleted data.

• Financial Transaction Records: Store purchase transaction IDs, receipts, and order records (for Day Pass and Pro subscriptions) are retained to satisfy tax accounting laws, store audit requirements, and refund clawback verification.

• Crash Diagnostics: Operational diagnostic and crash reports previously logged to Sentry remain subject to standard diagnostic retention cycles (up to 90 days), containing zero personal data or images.

Store subscriptions notice

Deleting your Object Talk account does NOT automatically cancel an active Google Play subscription and does not issue an automatic refund.

Subscription billing, renewals, and cancellations must be managed directly in your Google Play Store account settings.

After deleting your account

Account deletion is permanent and irreversible.

If you continue using or reinstall Object Talk in the future, you will start with a fresh anonymous account with standard starter coins (daily free coins refill on the next UTC day). Your previous coins, lifetime progress, scan history, and deleted account state will not be restored.

If you have an active Pro subscription, you may use "Restore Purchases" to associate eligible active subscription benefits with your new anonymous account on the same device.
