Clique Social - Account Deletion

We understand that you may want to delete your Clique Social account. This page explains how to request account deletion and what happens to your data.

How to Delete Your Account

You have two options to delete your Clique Social account:

Method 1: Delete Within the App (Recommended)

The fastest way to delete your account is directly through the Clique Social app:

1 Open the Clique Social app and make sure you're logged in

2 Go to your Profile by tapping the profile icon in the bottom navigation

3 Tap the Settings icon (gear icon) in the top right corner

4 Scroll down and tap on "Delete account"

5 Confirm deletion when prompted by tapping "Yes, delete account"

⚠️ Security Note: For your security, you may need to log out and log back in before deleting your account if you haven't logged in recently.

Method 2: Request Deletion via Email

If you cannot access the app or prefer to request deletion via email, you can contact us directly:

Email Account Deletion Request

Please include the following information in your email:

The email address associated with your Clique Social account
Your user ID (if you know it)
Any additional information that can help us identify your account

We will process your deletion request within 7 business days and send you a confirmation email once your account has been deleted.

What Gets Deleted

When you delete your Clique Social account, the following data is permanently removed:

Profile Information: Your username, personality type, preferences, profile questions and answers
Account Credentials: Your email address and authentication information
Location Data: All stored location information
Your Deck: Your saved connections and deck entries
Messages: All messages you sent to other users (from your account)
Swipe History: Your like/dislike history and interactions

What May Be Retained

Some data may be retained for technical, legal, or operational reasons:

Audio Verses (Studio Content)

Audio verses you created with other users may remain visible to those users even after your account is deleted. This is because verses are collaborative content that belongs to both creators.

If you want specific verses deleted, please mention them in your deletion request.

Messages to Other Users

Messages you sent to other users will be removed from your account, but recipients may still see the message history in their chat view.

Backup & Log Data

Some data may be retained in system backups and logs for up to 90 days after deletion for technical recovery and legal compliance purposes. After 90 days, all backup data is permanently erased.

Legal & Safety Data

If your account was involved in safety violations, reports, or legal matters, we may retain limited data (user ID, violation records) as required by law or to maintain community safety.

⚠️ Important: Deletion is Permanent

Account deletion is irreversible. Once your account is deleted:

You will lose access to all your data, connections, and content

If you want to use Clique Social again, you'll need to create a new account
