How to delete your personal account

You can delete a personal qid account in the app. That also removes your personal data from qid, except where we still need it for a past share or another law. No longer have the app? You can delete from this page instead.

    Confirm with OTP

    Enter the 4-digit code sent to your email, or to your phone if the account has no email. After a successful verify, your account is deleted and you are signed out.

What gets deleted

When you delete your account, we permanently remove:

  • Profile picture
  • Email address
  • Phone number
  • Contacts
  • Account password

Other details you submitted in the app are removed too, once they are no longer needed.

What stays

A few things stay when they are still needed for a past action, or because another law requires it:

  • IDs you already shared stay with the recipient. They cannot be shared further, edited, or removed from that side.
  • Your name stays linked to those IDs and to transactions you already completed.

Tell us why you are leaving

Optional. Feedback does not delete your account.
