Delete some of your Shelf Life data
You can delete particular information without deleting your whole account, in the app or by email. To delete everything, see Delete your account.
In the app
| To delete | Do this |
|---|---|
| Your profile picture | Tap your profile picture → Your profile → tap the picture → Remove photo. It’s deleted right away. |
| An item | Open the item → Remove item. |
| An inventory you own | Open the inventory → Manage → Delete inventory. Everything in it is deleted. |
| A group you own | Open the group → Settings → Delete group. Its inventories and items are deleted for everyone in it. |
| Your membership of a group | Open the group → Leave group (at the bottom) → Leave group. Items you added stay with the group, no longer linked to you. |
| Your display name | Change it in Your profile. The old one isn’t kept. |
| Your username | Account & security → Username. The old one isn’t kept. |
| People you’ve blocked | Account & security → Blocked people → unblock them. The block is deleted. |
| Offline copies on your phone | Sign out. They’re deleted from the phone straight away. |
A group’s list of scanned products is deleted with the group, and a private inventory’s own list is deleted with that inventory. To clear either sooner, a group owner (or the inventory’s owner) can email us.
Shopping list items: anyone in the group can remove them; bought ones clear themselves after 30 days. Remembered receipt lines are deleted with the group (or email us to clear them sooner).
Some things clear themselves: group change history after 90 days, notifications 90 days after you’ve read them, and receipt-scan records after 3 months.
By email
For anything else (for example your notifications or reports you’ve sent), email shelflife.software@gmail.com from the email address you sign in with, with the subject “Delete some of my Shelf Life data”. Say what you’d like deleted and include your username if you know it. We’ll confirm by email and delete it within 30 days. We may ask you to confirm it’s really you first.
Purchase records held by Google Play and RevenueCat are kept by them as required for tax and accounting.
