Data & Account Deletion
Last Updated: February 21, 2026
🔒 No Accounts = No Account Deletion Needed
WashDrobe does not create user accounts. All your data is stored locally on your device only. There are no server-side accounts to delete or data to request removal of.
1. How Data is Stored
WashDrobe operates entirely offline:
- Mobile (iOS/Android): Data is stored in the app's private local database on your device
- Web: Data is stored in your browser's IndexedDB and Local Storage
- No Cloud Storage: Nothing is uploaded to our servers (we don't have any!)
- No Account System: There are no usernames, passwords, or profiles
2. How to Delete Your Data
Since all data is stored locally on your device, you have complete control over deletion:
On Mobile (iOS/Android)
- Uninstall the App: Simply delete the WashDrobe app from your device. This permanently removes all associated data including:
- All clothing items and categories
- All photos and receipts
- Wear/wash tracking history
- Settings and preferences
- Any exported backup files (if stored in app directory)
On Web
- Clear Browser Data:
- Chrome/Edge: Settings → Privacy → Clear browsing data → Select "Cookies and site data" and "Cached images and files" → Choose "All time" → Clear data
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data → Clear Data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data → Remove the site data
⚠️ Important: Deletion is Permanent
Once you uninstall the app or clear browser data, all your wardrobe data is permanently deleted and cannot be recovered. Make sure to export a backup first if you might want to restore it later.
3. Before Deleting: Export Your Data
If you want to keep a copy of your wardrobe data before deletion:
- Open the WashDrobe app
- Go to Settings
- Tap "Export Data"
- Save the JSON file to your preferred location
- You can later import this file to restore your data
4. What Gets Deleted
When you uninstall the app or clear browser data, the following is permanently removed:
- All clothing item records (names, categories, notes, purchase dates)
- All wear and wash count history
- All custom categories you created
- All photos and receipt images attached to items
- All settings and preferences
- All saved filter presets
- All statistics
5. What Does NOT Get Deleted
- No server-side data exists — there's nothing for us to delete on our end
- Exported backup files — if you saved them elsewhere (email, cloud storage, etc.), those remain unless you manually delete them
- App Store download history — managed by Apple/Google, not us
6. Account Deletion Requests
Since WashDrobe does not create user accounts, there are no accounts to delete, no personal information stored on our servers, and you do not need to contact us. Simply uninstalling the app deletes all your local data immediately.
7. Compliance
This policy complies with:
- Apple App Store guidelines for account deletion
- Google Play Store Data Safety requirements
- GDPR "Right to Erasure"
- CCPA "Right to Delete"
8. Reinstallation
If you reinstall the app after deletion, it starts fresh with no data (like a new installation). Default categories will be created and you can import a previously exported backup file to restore your data.

10. Summary
To delete all your data: Simply uninstall the app (mobile) or clear browser data (web). No account deletion request needed. No data remains on our servers because we don't store your data.
