Delete your account in the app
- Open Sprout and sign in.
- On the Shopping tab, open the menu (the three dots at the top right) and tap Account.
- Tap Delete account.
- Read the list of what will happen, enter your password, and confirm.
Your account is deleted right away. This can't be undone.
Bought Sprout Plus through the App Store or Google Play? Cancel it there first (iPhone: Settings, your name, Subscriptions; Android: Play Store, your profile, Payments & subscriptions). Deleting your Sprout account does not stop Apple or Google from billing you.
Delete your account without the app
If you no longer have the app or can't sign in, email support-sprout@mikrodev.net from the email address on your account, with the subject "Delete my Sprout account".
To protect your account, we may ask you to confirm the request from that address. We delete the account within 30 days of confirming and email you when it's done.
Only want some of your data removed, such as one list or your name? Ask the same way. You can also delete lists, items and templates yourself in the app at any time.
What is deleted
- Your account: email address, password and name.
- Every list you own, with all of its items, inventory, categories and stores. These lists are deleted for everyone in them. To keep a list for others, hand it over to another member first (Members & invite code, then Make owner).
- Your membership in lists owned by other people.
- Your Sprout Plus access. If you pay for a family, its members lose Plus. Time left in the current period is not refunded, except where the law requires it. A subscription bought on the web is cancelled with no further charges, and your customer record at Stripe, our payment processor, is deleted.
- Templates saved in your library.
- The copy of your lists that Sprout keeps on your phone for offline use. It is cleared when the account is deleted in the app. If you delete by email, uninstalling Sprout removes it.
What is kept, and for how long
| Data | Why it's kept | How long |
|---|---|---|
| Items you added to lists owned by other people | They belong to that shared list. Your name is removed from them. | Until the list's owner deletes them |
| Templates you shared with others | They are copies the recipients now hold. They keep your name as the sender. | Until the recipients delete them |
| Billing record (account ID, email, subscription reference, deletion date) | Tax, accounting and handling payment disputes | Up to 7 years |
| Payment records held by Stripe, Apple or Google | Their own legal obligations as payment processors or sellers | As set by their privacy policies (for example Stripe's) |
| Server backups | Disaster recovery | Overwritten on a rolling basis, within 90 days |
