Delete your Icos account and data

Last Updated: September 11, 2026 · App: Icos (com.icos.game)

You can delete your Icos account and everything attached to it at any time. There are two ways to do it.

1. From inside the app

This is the fastest route and needs no reply from us.

2. By email

If you no longer have the app installed, email sarathfrancis90@gmail.com from the address you signed up with, with the subject "Icos account deletion request". We action these within 30 days.

If you played as a guest and never signed up, there is no account to delete and we hold no email address for you. Uninstalling the app removes the local data, and the anonymous record is purged automatically after 90 days of inactivity.

What gets deleted, and when

DataWhat happens
Email address, display name, sign-in methodPermanently deleted after a 30-day grace period
Puzzle solves, solve times, hints and undos usedPermanently deleted after the grace period
Streaks and streak freezesPermanently deleted after the grace period
Group membershipsRemoved immediately on request
Past leaderboard entriesAnonymised to "Deleted User" and kept, so other members' historical standings stay intact
Crash and performance diagnosticsNot linked to your account; retained up to 90 days by the provider, then deleted
Data stored on your deviceRemoved when you uninstall the app

The 30-day grace period

Deletion is not instant on purpose. For 30 days you can change your mind: simply sign back in to Icos and the pending deletion is cancelled automatically, with everything restored. After 30 days the data is gone and cannot be recovered.

Want a copy first?

Before deleting, you can export everything we hold about you. In the app, go to Profile and choose Export my data. You will get a JSON file with your profile, solves, streaks and group memberships.
