Delete your account
Deleting your Inklingly account removes it and everything belonging to it, straight away. This page is how to do it, exactly what goes, and the one thing that stays.
In the app, and it is done when the screen says so
Open Profile and tap Delete account. You are asked to confirm, and the confirmation tells you what happens before it happens rather than afterwards.
It is not a request that somebody processes later. It is the deletion. Your files are removed, then your account row goes, and you are signed out. It takes seconds. There is no waiting period, nothing is retained for a cooling-off window, and there is no way to undo it.
If you cannot get into the app
Email support@tinylantern.app from the address you signed up with, and ask for your account to be deleted. Sending it from that address is what tells us it is your account; we cannot act on a request about an account the sender can prove nothing about.
This route exists for the case the button cannot cover — a lost phone, a password reset that will not arrive. It runs the same deletion by hand, so what goes and what stays is identical.
You do not need to give a reason. It is done within 30 days, and normally within a few days — that is the honest bound on a person reading a mailbox, not on the deletion itself. You get a reply when it is finished.
If you can still sign in, use the button. It is immediate and it does not wait on anybody.
What is deleted
Your account and your email address.
Your profile — the display name, the handle, and anything else you filled in.
Every page you made, and every file belonging to it — the previews, the printables, the PDFs, the clean copies behind them, and the pages that failed. The ones you had already deleted go too.
Any photograph still in storage, including one you uploaded and then never made a page from. Those have no record attached to them at all, so they are found by asking the storage itself for everything filed under your account.
What you typed to make them. The descriptions are part of those records and go with them.
Your Pages and the record of what you spent, and the pages you liked, saved, unlocked or reported.
None of it was ever sold or used for advertising, and none of it is kept behind under another name.
What is kept, and why
A page you published stays up. This is the one thing that outlives the account, and it is worth reading before you decide. Publishing a page is an explicit act that grants us the right to host and show it, other people may have liked and saved it, and taking it down because you closed your account would take something from them as well. So the page stays and stops being attributed to anybody — your handle and your name come off it.
What does not survive is everything that made it traceable to you: the profile, the handle, the record of the page you drew and the words you typed to get it. The page is public; you are not.
If you want those gone as well, unpublish them in the app first. The confirmation says so before you delete, so this is not something to find out afterwards.
Anybody who unlocked one of your pages gets their Page back. Their unlock bought the right to print your drawing, and your drawing is being deleted — so every unpaid-out unlock on your pages is reversed and refunded as part of the deletion, before the account goes. Nobody is left holding something they paid for and cannot use.
A record that a purchase happened. Nothing can be bought yet, so today there are no purchases at all. When there are, the app store keeps its own record of a payment because it is a transaction between you and them, and it is not ours to delete.
Ordinary service logs — the kind any hosted service keeps of the requests made to it, including an IP address — are held by our infrastructure providers for a short period and expire on their own. They are not a copy of your library.
Anything you already downloaded stays yours. Printables you saved or shared are files on your own device and nothing here touches them.
Deleting one page instead
If it is one drawing you want gone rather than the account, delete it in the app. It leaves your library at once, and the image files behind it are removed thirty days later — a window that exists so a mistake can be undone, not so anything can be used for something else.
If it is a page you published, unpublish it. It leaves Discover immediately and its public copy is deleted with it.
The privacy page has the whole of what is held and for how long, including the promise that a photograph you upload is deleted as soon as the drawing that used it has finished.
