Data Deletion

Dear Diary gives you full control over your data. You can delete your server-side information at any time, directly from within the app — no forms, no waiting, no middlemen.

How to Delete Your Data

You can delete your server-side data directly within the Dear Diary app. No need to contact us — the deletion is handled instantly from within the app.

  1. Open Dear Diary
  2. Go to Settings
  3. Open Privacy & Security
  4. Tap "Delete Account & Data"
  5. Confirm the deletion request

What Data Is Deleted

When you use the in-app deletion feature, the following server-side information associated with your device is permanently removed:

  • Push notification tokens
  • Notification preferences
  • Timezone settings
  • Pseudonymous device identifier records
  • Related server-side records required for app functionality

What Data Is Not Stored on Our Servers

Dear Diary does not store the following on our servers:

  • Journal entries
  • Notes
  • Mood logs
  • Tags
  • Other journal content

These items are stored exclusively on your device and are never transmitted to or held by our servers.

Deleting Local Journal Content

Because your journal content lives only on your device, you control it entirely. To remove it:

  • Delete individual entries directly within the application, or
  • Uninstall the application to remove all locally stored data

Processing Time

Deletion requests initiated through the app are processed as soon as reasonably possible.

Security, fraud prevention, operational, or legal logs may be retained for a limited period where required by applicable law or legitimate operational necessity.
