Delete Your What the Chess? Account and Data

Use this page to request deletion of your account and the personal data associated with it. It applies to both website and Android accounts, and you can use it whether or not the app is still installed.

What this request does

When we receive and verify your request, we delete or anonymize your authentication account and the personal and account data associated with it. Based on what the service actually stores, that includes:

  • Your authentication account and profile: email, display name, username, avatar or profile photo and interface preferences.
  • Your game records: completed games and results, in-progress saved games, ratings, statistics and achievements.
  • Your online-play records: challenges and invitations, matchmaking entries and online match records tied to your account.

We normally complete verified deletions within 30 days. Afterwards, limited records or backups may remain temporarily—only for security, fraud prevention, disputes, legal obligations, or until routine backups expire—as described in our Privacy Policy.

You can request this after uninstalling

Removing the Android app from your device does not delete the account data held by the service. To have that data removed, submit the request below from the email address on your account—you do not need the app installed to do so.

How verification works

Enter the email address associated with your account. We send a confirmation to that address and verify ownership of it before anything is deleted, so a request cannot remove someone else's data. For your protection we do not disclose whether any given email address has an account. Submitting this form starts the request; it does not delete your account on its own.

Enter the email address on your What the Chess? account. We send a confirmation there and verify ownership before anything is deleted.

Prefer to email instead?

You can also email hello@whatthechessgame.com from the address on your account. Either route reaches the same place and follows the same verification.
