Two ways to do it, and a straight account of what is removed, what survives and why.
Open Settings and, under Your data, tap Delete account. You are asked to confirm once. From that point the account is closed and cannot be signed into. This is the fastest route and it needs nothing from us.
If you cannot get into the app, write to support@barbellbowl.com from any address and tell us the email address on the account. We will verify that the address is yours before deleting anything, because otherwise anyone could delete anyone's account by guessing. Once verified, deletion runs within seven days and you get a confirmation.
Progress photos are not on this list because we never had them. They are encrypted on your phone and never uploaded, so deleting the app deletes them.
Two things survive, and both are narrow.
Payment records. If you ever paid for Pro, the record of that transaction is kept by our payment provider and by us for as long as tax and accounting law requires. It contains the amount, the date and the plan. It does not contain your training or food data.
League results already counted. If you were in a league week that has already been scored, your entry stays in that week's result as an anonymous row so the other people's positions do not change retroactively. It is not linked to your name, email or account.
Your data disappears from the live system immediately, and the account cannot be signed into from that moment. Encrypted backups roll off on a thirty-day cycle, so the last copy is gone within thirty days. Nobody reads a backup in the meantime; they exist only to restore the system after a failure.
Uninstalling the app removes the local database from that phone. It does not delete your account, because the point of sync is that you can get your history back on a new phone. If you want the account gone, use one of the two routes above.
You do not have to choose between keeping everything and losing everything. Write to support@barbellbowl.com and ask for a specific part of your history to go, and only that part goes. Your coach conversations, your food logs, your body measurements, a particular date range: name it and the rest is left alone.
We verify the request the same way as a full deletion, and it runs within seven days.
If you want your history before you delete it, ask for an export at support@barbellbowl.com and you get a machine-readable file of everything we hold. Do this before deleting, because afterwards there is nothing left to export.
Write to support@barbellbowl.com. A person reads it. For anything about your data specifically, put "data request" in the subject line and it gets handled first.
