Delete your Riposte account

How to permanently delete a Riposte account and its associated data, with or without access to the app.

EffectiveLast updated 22 August 2026

Delete your account in Riposte

  1. Open Riposte and go to your profile settings.
  2. Select Delete account.
  3. If the account has a verified phone number, verify it again. Review the explanation and confirm the request.

Access ends as soon as the request is accepted. The app keeps an opaque deletion receipt so you can check progress while deletion work completes. Account data in active systems is normally deleted or de-identified within 30 days.

Delete an account without the app

Email [email protected] with the subject Delete my Riposte account. Include the phone number linked to the account, if there is one, but never send a one-time sign-in code. We will use proportionate checks to verify that the account belongs to you before completing the request.

If the account is a guest account with no verified phone number, include any non-sensitive account or device details visible in Riposte. We will explain what evidence is reasonably needed without asking for a password or sign-in code.

Subscriptions must be cancelled separately

Deleting Riposte does not cancel an App Store or Google Play subscription. Store billing is separate from your Riposte account. To stop future renewal, manage the subscription through the store where you bought it. You can still ask us to delete the Riposte account immediately.

Cancelling normally stops renewal and, while the Riposte account remains active, leaves paid access available until the end of the current billing period, subject to the store's rules, a refund, or applicable law. If you later create a new phone-verified Riposte account, Restore Purchases may transfer a still-valid entitlement when you are signed in to the same Apple or Google store account. It does not restore content from the deleted Riposte account.

What deletion removes

Riposte deletes or de-identifies the account, profile, relationships, preferences, voice content, transcripts, debates, judgments, and other associated user-generated content. This is subject to limited legal, security, safety, billing-record, and protected-backup exceptions described in our privacy policy. We cannot delete a copy another person made outside Riposte.

A limited deletion receipt, one-way security reference, and pseudonymous subscription-entitlement receipt may be retained where needed to prove deletion, prevent accidental reactivation, restore or transfer a valid store purchase, prevent fraud, resolve disputes, or comply with law. These records cannot recover deleted Riposte content. Protected backup copies expire on the backup schedule and are not available for ordinary use.

If you only want to reset your profile

For a phone-verified account, use Start fresh in Riposte instead. This resets your profile, friends and discovery choices, matching and notification preferences, personalisation, and pending requests. It keeps the same account, verified phone number, Riposte Plus entitlement, completed shared content, safety history, age, and consent records. Start fresh is not a deletion request.
