Delete your account
You can delete your Side Quest account and its data at any time. It takes about a minute, and you don't need to contact anyone.
Delete it in the app
- Open The Side Quest and make sure you're signed in.
- Tap Settings.
- Tap Delete Account.
- Read the summary and confirm.
Path: Settings → Delete Account.
Deletion can't be undone. Your history and any unspent Quest Coins are gone for good. If you host a game that is still running, transfer hosting to another player or end the game first so nobody is left waiting.
Can't open the app? Email us
Email contact@mobileside.quest with the subject "Delete my account" and tell us:
- the display name other players see for you, and
- the name or invite code of a game you played, and roughly when.
We don't hold your email address, so we use these details to confirm the account is yours before deleting it. Deleting in the app is faster and needs no verification. We'll confirm when it's done.
What gets deleted, and when
| Data | What happens | When |
|---|---|---|
| Your account and sign-in link | The link to your Apple Account is removed and your login sessions are revoked. You can no longer sign in to that account. | Immediately when you confirm in the app. |
| Display name | Replaced with a generic placeholder wherever other players would see it. | Immediately. |
| Notification tokens | Deleted, so we can no longer send notifications to your devices. | Immediately. |
| Photos you submitted | Deleted from our storage. (Photos are otherwise deleted 7 days after the game they belong to ends.) | As part of deletion. |
| Sign in with Apple connection | We ask Apple to revoke The Side Quest's access to your Apple Account. | As part of deletion. |
| Game records other players still see | Team scores, results, and review votes stay so other players' game history remains accurate, but they're no longer linked to you. | Kept, without any link to you. |
| Server logs | Age out on their normal schedule and are not used to bring your account back. | After a limited period. |
| Backups | Routine backups, if any, are overwritten on their normal schedule. | On the normal backup cycle. |
| Safety reports | If you were reported for abuse, we may keep the report itself only as long as needed to keep players safe or meet legal obligations. | As needed. |
If you sign in with Apple again later, you'll start a brand-new account with no history.
Also stop Sign in with Apple (optional)
You can remove The Side Quest from your Apple Account too: on your iPhone open Settings, tap your name, then Sign-In & Security, then Sign in with Apple, choose The Side Quest, and tap Stop Using Apple Account. This alone doesn't delete your game data, so delete your account in the app or by email as well.
