Delete your account
Updated 11 October 2026
You can delete your Lyven account yourself, from inside the app, whenever you like. Or ask
us and we'll do it for you. If you'd like to keep a copy of your home's cards, lists and meals
first, download one in the app under Settings, Your privacy, Export my data.
In the app
- Open Lyven and sign in.
- Tap Settings.
- Under Account, tap Delete my account.
- Read what will happen to your home, then tap Delete my account again.
Not in a home yet, or waiting for a place? Delete my account
is under Sign out on that screen.
It happens straight away, and it can't be undone.
What gets deleted
- Your sign-in and your email address.
- If you're the only person in your home, the home and everything in it: every
card, list, meal, plan, note and check-in.
- If your partner is still in the home, it stays with them. Your cards go back
to Not settled yet for them to deal, and your name is removed from your old place in the home
and from the notifications you sent them in Lyven. Everything you wrote in check-ins and day notes is deleted,
so is the record of when you used the app, and your devices stop getting notifications. Alerts already delivered to their phone, and
anything they wrote themselves, can't be changed by us.
- Your entry on our mailing list, if you had one.
If you left a home before deleting your account, the same happens there: your
cards go back to Not settled yet, your name comes off your old place and the notifications you sent, and everything
you wrote in check-ins and day notes is deleted. A home you left before 1 October 2026 isn't
linked to your account, so for that one email
privacy@lyvenapp.com and we'll do it by hand.
What we keep
- Split Check answers. If you did the Split Check, your answers stay in our
research data with your email address removed, so they can't be linked back to you.
- Emails you've sent us stay in our inbox until you ask us to delete them
too.
- Backups. Our database provider may hold deleted data in routine backups
for a short time, until those backups expire.
Ask us instead
Email privacy@lyvenapp.com from the address on your
account and we'll delete it within a week, then reply to let you know it's done. Our
privacy policy has the rest.
