Delete your
account.

Last updated September 12, 2026

Your account is yours to close. Here is how, and exactly what goes when you do.

This page is for accounts created in The Purpose Church Seattle app for iPhone and Android. Both apps share one account, so deleting it from either phone deletes it everywhere. Our full privacy policy covers everything else.

Delete it yourself, in the app

This is the quickest way, and it takes effect immediately.

1. Open the app and sign in.
2. Go to the More tab.
3. Under Account, tap Delete my account.
4. Enter your password to confirm.

You'll be signed out, and the account is gone. There is no waiting period and no "are you sure" email; the password is the confirmation.

Or ask us to do it

If you'd rather not, or you no longer have the app installed, email care@thepurposechurchseattle.com from the address on the account, or call the church office at (253) 881-7232. Say "delete my app account" and we'll do the rest. We'll confirm back to you, and it will be done within 30 days — usually the same week.

We only need to hear from the account's own email address, so we know the request is yours. If you've lost access to that address, call us and we'll sort it out in person.

What is erased

Deleting an account permanently removes:

• Your account itself, including your name and email address.
• Every note you wrote in the app.
• Every prayer request you sent while signed in, and the care team's replies on them.
• The notification token for your phone, so we can no longer reach the device.

This cannot be undone. If you come back later, you're welcome to make a new account, but it starts empty.

What is not affected

• Prayer requests you sent without signing in. Those were never tied to an account, so deleting one doesn't touch them. Ask us and we'll remove them too.
• Your Bible Trivia streak and scores. Those only ever lived on your phone. Deleting the app clears them.
• Gifts you've given. Giving happens on Pushpay, not in the app, and your giving history stays with Pushpay and the church's books as the law requires.
• Replies you wrote as a care team member. If you served on the care team, your replies stay with the people they were written to, with your name removed. We won't take someone's encouragement away from them.

Nothing is kept

We don't hold on to a copy "just in case." Once the deletion runs, your account and its contents are gone from our database; routine backups roll off on their own within 30 days. The one thing we may keep is the email you sent us asking for the deletion, so we have a record that we did it.
