Deleting your account
Applies to the Nelson app by Nelson (fromnelson.com).
From inside the app
The fastest way, and it takes effect immediately:
- Open Settings (from the You tab).
- Tap Account.
- Tap Delete account and confirm. You’ll be asked to sign in with Apple or Google one more time — that confirmation is what authorises the deletion.
Without the app
If you no longer have the app installed, email info@fromnelson.com with the subject “Delete my account”, from the email address connected to your Apple or Google sign-in. We’ll confirm and complete the deletion within 7 days.
What gets deleted
- Your account and your Apple / Google sign-in connections (we also revoke the Sign in with Apple authorisation).
- Your reading history, streaks, quiz results, and collection.
- Your library backups.
- Your analytics identity — we file a deletion request with our analytics processor.
Deletion is permanent. There is no grace period and no undo.
What lingers, and for how long
Routine encrypted database backups can retain a copy of deleted data for up to three months before they expire. If we ever restore from a backup, deletion requests are re-applied. Records we’re legally required to keep (for example, a record that a deletion was requested) are kept only as long as required.
Deleting data without closing the account
If you want specific data removed — say, your quiz history — without deleting the whole account, email info@fromnelson.com and we’ll do it by hand.
