Account deletion

Delete your account and data

Last updated 15 September 2026

Apple asks every app that creates an account to let people delete it, and to make the steps easy to find. This page is that public explanation for HarooLink.

HarooLink does not create an account on our servers. You choose a username on the phone. That is a local identity, not a login we store. There is no web form that can finish deletion for you, because we never received a copy of your account.

To delete the account and the personal data tied to it on that phone, remove the app. You do not need to email us. You do not need to call us. Deletion is permanent on that device once the app is gone.

On iPhone

1. On your Home Screen, touch and hold the HarooLink icon.
2. Tap Remove App.
3. Tap Delete App, then confirm.

iOS then removes HarooLink and the data it stored on that iPhone. You can also delete it from Settings, then General, then iPhone Storage, then HarooLink, then Delete App.

On Android

1. Open Android Settings.
2. Open Apps, then HarooLink.
3. Tap Uninstall, then confirm.

If you want to wipe the local identity but keep the app installed, open Storage on that same screen and tap Clear data.

What is deleted on that phone

Removing the app (or clearing its storage) permanently deletes:

• Your username
• The optional phone number, if you added one
• Keys used for chats and SOS
• Chats and call history stored on this phone
• People you scanned or linked with on this phone
• Your block list
• SOS settings, consent, and any local location used for a beacon
• Local HarooLink notifications

This is not a pause or a freeze. The local identity is gone. If you install HarooLink again, you start with a new username on a new local identity.

What we cannot delete from this website

• Copies of messages already sitting on someone else’s phone. Ask that person to delete the chat there.
• An SOS beacon a nearby phone already received. Those expire after a few minutes on their own.
• Map tiles a maps provider already fetched if you opened Nearby for a beacon.

We cannot look up your username on a server and wipe it, because we do not keep that directory.

Sign in with Apple

HarooLink does not use Sign in with Apple. There is no Apple token for us to revoke when you delete the app.

Subscriptions

HarooLink does not sell subscriptions or in-app purchases, so there is nothing extra to cancel first.

If you still want to write

Privacy questions: [email protected]. An email is not required to complete deletion, and it will not speed it up. If you ask us to delete a cloud account, we will not have one to find.

The privacy policy explains what stays on the phone while you use the app.
