Delete your MY FISH account
Last updated: October 2026
This page explains how to delete your MY FISH account, and exactly what happens to your data when you do. MY FISH is published by IM'IN OÜ, a company registered in Estonia (registration number 17314352).
How to delete your account
From the app (fastest) — version 3.5 or later: older versions of the app can no longer delete an account; update the app first from the App Store or Google Play.
- Open the MY FISH app and sign in.
- Go to the Profile tab.
- Scroll to the bottom and tap Delete account.
- Type DELETE and your current password, then confirm. The deletion is carried out immediately and you are signed out of every device.
If you cannot sign in, email support@imin.uno with the subject Account deletion and your MY FISH username. A MY FISH account has no e-mail address, so we may ask you to prove that the account is yours; we then carry out the deletion — normally within a few business days, and in any case within 30 days.
Deleting your account cannot be undone. Your username is reserved for 90 days (no one can take it, not even you), then released, and your fishing log cannot be restored afterwards — not by you, and not by us. If you want to keep your data, export it first: the app, and GET /api/export, hand you everything in a single file, free of charge.
What is deleted
When your account is deleted, the following are erased:
- Your profile: display name, biography, avatar and avatar settings, profile photo, favourite species, country, region, language and time-zone preference.
- Your sign-in credentials: your password and your recovery code. Every active session is revoked and every sign-in token is destroyed.
- The content of your sessions and catches: their notes, GPS positions, place names, photos, videos, equipment, baits and technique, as well as their segments and observations (what remains of them is described below).
- Your photos and videos — the files themselves are removed from storage right after the deletion, not merely unlinked (a removal that fails is retried automatically). Two exceptions: the photos of your public spots, which stay with those spots (see below), and a file still used by another account's content.
- Your private and friends-only spots: they disappear from the map and from the app, together with your personal note and your photos (their name, position and description remain in the database, marked as deleted).
- Your experience ledger, levels, trophies, leagues and titles, your fishing profile and your statistics.
- Your friendships and friend requests, in both directions.
- Your notifications and push notification settings, your discovered-spot history, the reports you submitted, your ideas and votes, your lab experiments, and the history of your free Premium days and missions.
- Your referral code, your Stripe customer identifier, and the automatic translations of your texts.
What stays, and why
- Public spots you created remain in the map's catalogue, attached to the MY FISH account, with their photos: your name is no longer attached to them, and your personal note on each of them is erased. Your private and friends-only spots, on the other hand, are deleted with their photos (see above). Other anglers have logged their own sessions and catches at those places; deleting the spots would delete part of their fishing log. If you want a public spot removed as well, tell us in your deletion request and we will handle it case by case.
- Content other people created — their sessions, their catches, their spots — is theirs and is untouched.
- What remains of your sessions and catches: emptied as described above and marked as deleted, they keep only data with no text and no position of their own (dates, duration, species, size, weight, readings such as wind or water temperature, and the spot the session was attached to), linked to the anonymous record described below, because other data point to them (the final ranking of a challenge points to the winning catch). Your places in the rankings of finished challenges also remain, without your username, your name or your photos.
- Subscription and billing records, where you had a paid subscription. Purchases are processed by Apple, Google or Stripe; we keep the minimum record of the transaction that accounting and tax law require us to keep. These records are kept for as long as that obligation lasts (up to 7 years under Estonian law) and are used for nothing else.
- An empty, anonymised placeholder row stands in for your account so that the items above stay coherent. It carries no name, no biography, no photo, no e-mail address and no usable password — the username is replaced by a random
del_… identifier. It keeps the account's creation date and the subscription status. Your former username cannot be taken by anyone for 90 days, after which it becomes available again.
- The welcome offer fingerprint, if you took up that offer: a one-way cryptographic fingerprint of your former username, of the app's installation identifier and, if there is one, of the device's original identifier at RevenueCat — these values cannot be recovered from it, and it is no longer linked to your account. It is kept with no time limit and is used only to prevent the offer from being granted twice.
- The log of administrative actions concerning your account (for example a suspension and its reason).
- Server logs and backups. Operational logs and database backups made before the deletion may still contain your data until they are rotated and overwritten in the normal course of operation. They are never used to restore a deleted account, and the deletion is never replayed backwards into them.
