Delete Your Data

Last updated: 24 April 2026

Namekin is built around a privacy-first model: almost everything stays on your device. You can remove your data at any time by following the steps below. No account, email, or support request is required.

The simplest option: delete your account

For a complete wipe in one step, open the app and tap:

Settings › Delete account

This removes every trace of your use of Namekin in a single action: all local data on your device, plus any data we hold on our servers (partner pairing, encrypted shared swipes, shared polls you created, push notification tokens). It is immediate and cannot be undone.

Or do it in granular steps

If you would rather clear local data only, or unlink your partner without wiping everything else, use these instead.

Clear local data only

Settings › Reset all data

This permanently deletes from your device:

  • Your swipes, likes, and dislikes
  • Your favourites and custom lists
  • Your search history and filters
  • Your onboarding answers and in-app preferences
  • Your tournament and poll history
  • Any cached name data on the device

Remove partner-sync data from our servers

If you have connected with a partner, some end-to-end encrypted data is temporarily relayed through our servers. To delete it:

Settings › Partner › Unlink partner

Unlinking permanently deletes from our servers:

  • The anonymous device identifier created for your session
  • Your encrypted shared swipes and matches
  • Any pending sync payloads awaiting delivery
  • The partner pairing record itself

We cannot read any of this data at any point. It is end-to-end encrypted with keys that only you and your partner hold. Unlinking destroys the server-side copy immediately.

Uninstall the app (optional, full wipe)

Uninstalling Namekin removes the app and everything it stores on your device. Combined with Step 2 above, this leaves no Namekin data anywhere.

  • iOS:Long-press the Namekin icon › Remove App › Delete App.
  • Android:Long-press the Namekin icon › Uninstall (or Settings › Apps › Namekin › Uninstall).

If you only uninstall without first unlinking your partner, the encrypted server-side pairing record remains until your partner also unlinks or until it expires naturally.

What we do not hold

We never collect or store the following, so there is nothing to delete:

  • Account credentials (there is no account system)
  • Email addresses or phone numbers
  • Names, dates of birth, or location data
  • Analytics or behavioural profiles
  • Contact lists or device identifiers beyond the random pairing ID

Need help?

If you cannot access the app (for example, a device has been lost) and need partner-sync data removed, contact us at namekin@identityagency.co.uk. Include the device pairing code if you still have it. We aim to respond within 7 days.
