Delete your HW App account

HW App, a home workout app by Michael (mikydon) · Android app and https://mikydon.github.io/hw-app/

In short: you can delete your account yourself in the app or on the website, and it is gone from the server right away. If you can't use either, ask for the deletion below and it is done within 30 days. You don't need to install the app again for that.

In the app

Open HW App.
Go to Settings → Account & cloud.
Tap Delete account, tap it again to confirm, and confirm with your password or Google if asked.

On the website, without the app

Open mikydon.github.io/hw-app in any browser.
Open the menu (☰) → Settings → Account & cloud, and sign in the same way as in the app (the same e-mail and password, or the same Google account).
Tap Delete account, tap it again to confirm, and confirm with your password or Google if asked.

Ask for the deletion

If you can't sign in any more, write to hwapp.support@gmail.com (or open an issue at github.com/mikydon/hw-app/issues) with your nickname or friend code (shown as HW-XXXXXX). No other personal details are needed. The account and its data are deleted within 30 days.

What is deleted

Your account (e-mail and password or Google sign-in for HW App), public profile, profile page (training statistics, ranks and badges), nickname, photo and friend code.
Your friends, open friend requests, your place on the leaderboard and your chats with all their messages.
Your notification settings (this phone's notification address, language, on/off, blocked people).
Your block list (who you blocked).
Your cloud backup.

The only thing kept on the server is a report you may have sent about someone else (for moderation); it holds the report and the ID of the deleted account, nothing else about you. If your profile was hidden after reports, that small record (account ID, number of reports, time) stays as well, because only the developer can remove it; write to hwapp.support@gmail.com and it is deleted. The data on your own phone (workouts, profile, calories) stays until you delete the app (or clear the website's data in your browser). Data from Health Connect never leaves your phone.
