Delete Account
Here you can find out how to delete your Run Catch Repeat account and what happens to your data.
How to delete your account
You can delete your account at any time directly in the app:
- Open the Run Catch Repeat app and tap your profile picture at the top of the main menu (or swipe from the left edge to the right). The side menu opens.
- Tap "Settings" (gear icon).
- Tap "Profile". The "Edit Profile" screen opens.
- Scroll to the bottom and tap the red "Delete Account" button.
- In the "Delete Account" window, confirm with your password and tap "Delete". If you signed in with Google or Apple, there is no password field: you will be asked to sign in with Google or Apple again.
Note: Deletion is final and cannot be undone. Your sign-in account is deleted immediately, the associated data directly afterwards. If a step fails, it is repeated automatically.
What is deleted?
- Your sign-in account and your user profile including coins, purchases, settings and version data
- Friend lists and friend requests
- Your chat messages
- Your entries in the leaderboards for total points, best scores and Daily Puzzle
- Your decks and push tokens
- Your profile picture and other files you uploaded to your personal storage
What is anonymised?
Shared game rounds remain available to your fellow players and the game history, because they belong to them as well. In them, your name, profile picture and identifier are replaced by "Deleted player" and an identifier that cannot be linked to you. This covers game results, lobby entries, the in-game chat (the text of your messages is removed) and the events of finished rounds. A round is anonymised once its evaluation has finished. A lobby that never started stays in place; you are removed from it within 48 hours at the latest. If the evaluation of a round is stuck, you are anonymised in it within 14 days at the latest.
What stays?
We do not delete or anonymise the following automatically, but on request by email:
- PvP Challenge data (PvP leaderboards, opponent entries, matches)
- Goal photos from shared rounds
- The coordinates of location points of finished rounds. The identifier in them is replaced, but the route remains part of the shared game record and could make you recognisable, for example through a home location.
- Older rounds without a link to your account, and participation in published videos
- A log entry about the deletion (account ID, status, time) kept as proof and for troubleshooting
- Remaining risk: the identifier of a 1:1 chat technically still contains your former account ID. Your messages in it are deleted.
Statutory retention obligations remain unaffected. Measurement data already sent to Google is not deleted immediately but after the two month period stated in the privacy policy.
