Miyonk Account and Data Deletion

Last updated: 27 September 2026

This page explains how to delete your Miyonk account and what happens to your data when you do.

How to delete your account

You can delete your account yourself, from inside the app, at any time. You do not need to contact us first.

Open Miyonk and sign in.
Go to your profile, then open Settings — the settings icon at the top of your profile, or of the Messages screen.
Scroll down and tap Delete Account.
A confirmation appears explaining that the action cannot be undone. Tap Accept.

Your account is disabled immediately and you are signed out. Deletion is permanent: the account cannot be recovered. If you later sign up again with the same email address or the same Google or Apple account, you start a new, empty account.

If you can no longer sign in and therefore cannot reach the button above, write to privacy@miyonk.com from the email address registered to the account and ask for the account to be deleted. We will verify that the request comes from the account holder before acting on it.

Deleting some of your data without deleting your account

You do not have to delete your whole account to remove specific things.

A Story: open your own Story and delete it. The Story and its image are removed straight away. Stories are deleted automatically after 24 hours in any case.
A conversation: in Messages, press and hold a conversation to enter selection mode, select the conversations you want to remove, then tap the delete icon and confirm. They are removed from your side immediately. Once both people have deleted a conversation, it is erased entirely, along with the messages in it.
Your profile details: you can change your photo, voice introduction, biography, gender, tags and relationship preferences at any time from Edit Profile. Saving a new value replaces the old one.

For anything else — including a request to delete a specific piece of data — write to privacy@miyonk.com from the email address registered to your account. We will verify that the request comes from the account holder before acting on it.

What is deleted

Immediately, when you confirm deletion:

Your username, email address, biography, gender, interest tags and relationship preferences
Your date of birth
Your app-lock passcode
Your anonymous display name
Your notification tokens, so the app can no longer send anything to your devices
Your email address in our sign-in system, and the link to your Google or Apple account — see the exception below
Your badges, your in-app notifications, your Duel time zone and login streak, the Store items you got with points and their record, and your record of accepting the Community Guidelines
Your profile stops being visible to other users anywhere in the app

Within 7 days:

Your profile photo
Your voice introduction
Every photo and voice recording you sent in conversations

The 7-day window exists so that the deletion can be completed reliably by a scheduled job, and so that an account deleted by mistake, or by someone who gained access to a phone, can still be investigated during that period. Nothing in that window is visible to other users: your profile and your content are hidden from the app the moment you confirm.

What is kept, and why

If your account is under a moderation restriction or has an active yellow card when you delete it, your sign-in email address is kept, disabled, so that the same person cannot sign up again to escape the decision. Everything else on this page is deleted as usual.
The messages you sent remain in the conversations you had. The person you were talking to keeps their side of the conversation, where you appear as a "Deleted user" with no photo and no way to identify or contact you. Removing your messages would silently rewrite another person's conversation history.
Photos and voice recordings you sent are deleted from our storage, as described above. In the other person's conversation, each message that carried one is replaced with the text "Media removed", so nothing is left pointing at a deleted file.
Duel matches you finished are kept without your name or any other profile detail, because your opponents' points and leaderboard positions are calculated from them. You no longer appear on the leaderboard.
Reports submitted about your account, and reports you submitted about other users, are kept for safety and moderation purposes, including preventing a banned user from returning. Messages copied as evidence when a conversation was reported are deleted 6 months after the report was reviewed, or 1 year after it was made if it was never reviewed.
Messages you deleted for everyone are kept as a copy, accessible only to us, for 30 days, so that a report about them can still be reviewed.
Limited technical and log data may be retained for a short period where necessary for security, fraud prevention, or to comply with a legal obligation.

Stories are not part of account deletion because they are already temporary: every Story and its image are deleted automatically 24 hours after it is posted.
