Delete your Lingua account and data
Last updated 24 August 2026
You can remove everything Lingua holds about you. There are two ways, depending on whether you want the copy on your phone gone, our copy gone, or both.
1. Delete the data on your device
Uninstalling Lingua removes everything stored locally — your progress, streak and review schedule. To clear it without uninstalling, open Android Settings → Apps → Lingua → Storage → Clear storage.
This does not remove the backup copy on our servers. For that, use the request below.
2. Request deletion of our copy
Email zinmintoun@gmail.com with the subject Lingua account deletion request.
Include one of these so we can find your account:
- If you signed in with Google — send the email from that same Google account. That is all we need.
- If you never signed in — your account is anonymous and has no name or email attached, so we cannot look it up from your message alone. Open Lingua, go to the Profile tab, and include the user ID shown there.
We action requests within 30 days and reply to confirm when it is done.
What gets deleted
| Data | What happens |
|---|---|
| Your account identifier | Deleted |
| Language pair, stage and daily goal | Deleted |
| XP, streaks, hearts and per-skill progress | Deleted |
| Spaced-repetition review schedule | Deleted |
| Display name and weekly score on the leaderboard | Deleted |
| Google account details, if you signed in | Deleted |
Deletion is permanent. Progress cannot be restored afterwards, so if you only want to start the course again, resetting inside the app is the better option.
What is kept, and why
- Aggregate analytics — counts such as how many lessons were completed across all users. These contain no identifier and cannot be traced back to you, so there is nothing individual to remove.
- Purchase records — if you bought a subscription, Google Play keeps its own transaction record. That is held by Google, not by us, and tax law requires it be retained. Manage subscriptions at play.google.com/store/account/subscriptions.
Deleting your account does not cancel your subscription. Cancel it separately in Google Play, or it will keep renewing.
