Account Deletion

Last updated July 2026

You can delete your Laiden account and personal data at any time, from inside the app in a couple of taps, or by email if you no longer have it installed.

01

Delete from inside the app

The fastest way to delete your account is right inside Laiden. Open Settings → Delete account and confirm. Your account and the data connected to it are removed immediately and permanently. There is no waiting period, and it cannot be recovered afterwards.

02

Deleted the app, or only joined the waitlist?

You do not need the app installed to delete your data. Email us from the address you signed up with, at support@getlaiden.com with the subject “Delete my account”. We confirm the request comes from you and complete the deletion within 30 days, usually much sooner.

If you only ever joined the waitlist at getlaiden.com and never created an app account, email the same address and we remove your waitlist entry (name, email, age, and gender).

03

What gets deleted

Deleting your account permanently removes your personal data from our database and from the services that store it on our behalf: our database provider Neon, our photo host UploadThing, and our login provider Clerk.

Removed when you delete

  • Your profile: name, age, bio, photos, doodle, faculty and programme
  • Your preferences and who you were interested in
  • Your matches, likes, swipes, and all of your messages
  • Events you created and your RSVPs
  • Your login and authentication record

04

What we keep, and for how long

In the normal case we keep nothing after deletion; everything above is erased. We never sell or share your data, and we do not keep it for advertising.

The only exception is where the law requires us to retain a minimal record, for example a report of serious misconduct kept for safety reasons, and only for as long as we are legally required to hold it. Anything retained for this reason is kept to the strict minimum and is never used for any other purpose.

Still have a question?

We are students, not a faceless company. Email us and a real person replies.
