Delete your account

You can delete your Stall account yourself, from inside the app. This page explains how, exactly what is removed, and the one thing that is kept.

How to delete it

Open Stall and sign in.
Go to Settings → Account.
Choose Delete account.
Enter your password and type DELETE to confirm.

The account is deleted immediately. You will be signed out and will not be able to sign in again.

What is removed

Your profile, display name, email address, profile photo and pseudonym.
Your ability to sign in — the account cannot be recovered or reopened.
Your username and pseudonym are retired and cannot be taken by anyone else.

What is kept, and why

Posts and comments you made stay on Stall. They are no longer attributed to you — they appear as “Deleted account”, with your name, photo and profile removed.

This is so that conversations other people took part in are not broken by one person leaving. A reply that no longer has anything to reply to is confusing for everyone still in the thread.

If you want a specific post or comment removed as well, delete it inside the app before deleting your account, or email us and we will remove it.

Delete some of your data, and keep your account

You do not have to delete your account to remove things from Stall. In the app:

A post: open it, tap the ⋯, then Delete.
A comment you wrote, or one under your own post: tap Delete on it. Its replies are deleted with it.
A like or a save: tap it again to undo it.
Your name, bio or photo: change or remove them in Edit profile.

Anything else — a message, a post you made anonymously (it is not linked to your account, so the app cannot let you delete it), or other data we hold about you — email support@stall.ing with the subject Delete my data and say what you want removed. A person will read it and reply.

If you cannot sign in

If you have lost access to your account, email us from the address the account uses and we will delete it for you. We may ask a question to confirm the account is yours before we act, so that nobody can delete an account they do not own.

Email support@stall.ing with the subject Delete my account. A person will read it and reply.
