Delete your account on The Golden Blink

The Golden Blink, made by Lawrence Karchner. You can delete your account in the app at any time. If you no longer have the app, email us and we’ll do it for you.

In the app

Want to keep your journal first? Settings, Export my journal saves all of it, photos and videos included, to a folder you choose.

1. Open The Golden Blink and tap the gear at the top right of the home screen to open Settings.
2. Tap Family & backup, then Delete account.
3. Read what will happen, choose whether to erase the journal on this phone too, type DELETE and tap Delete my account.

Without the app

Email support@thegoldenblink.app from the email address you sign in with, with the subject "Delete my account". We’ll confirm by email and delete the account within 30 days, usually much sooner.

What gets deleted

• Your account: your email address, the name you show your family, and your sign-in.
• If no one else is in your family: the whole family journal we store, including your children’s profiles, moments, photos, videos, voice notes and letters, and the family’s trial or plan.
• If others are in your family: you’re removed from the family and your name is removed from things you edited. The shared journal, including what you added, stays with them. The longest-standing member becomes the family’s owner.

What is kept, and for how long

• Deleted information can remain in encrypted backups for up to 30 days before it is overwritten.
• Apple or Google keep records of any purchases, under their own policies.
• The journal on your phone stays there unless you choose to erase it when deleting your account, or delete the app.

Delete some data without deleting your account

You can delete any moment, photo, video, voice note, letter or child in the app. Deletions sync to everyone in your family. To stop sharing without deleting anything, sign out or leave your family in Family & backup.
