Delete Your Account

We respect your right to leave. Here's how to delete your WIGGWIGG account and what happens to your data.

How to Delete Your Account

Account deletion is available directly in the app. No need to contact support.

  1. 1

    Open Settings

    Log in to your WIGGWIGG account and navigate to Settings.

  2. 2

    Go to Privacy & Data

    In Settings, select the Privacy & Data section.

  3. 3

    Delete Account

    Scroll to Delete Account. The app will guide you through any necessary steps, such as cancelling subscriptions or releasing phone numbers, then confirm by entering your Account ID.

30-Day Grace Period

After requesting deletion, your account enters a 30-day grace period. During this time, sign back in and choose Cancel deletion in the banner at the top of the app. After 30 days, deletion is permanent and cannot be undone. Encrypted backups age out within 30 days after that.

Changed your mind? Sign back in during the grace period and choose Cancel deletion in the banner at the top of the app.

What Gets Permanently Deleted

After the 30-day grace period, the following data is permanently and irreversibly removed:

  • All identities and associated personal information

  • Password vault data

  • Call logs and SMS/MMS history

  • Voicemails and audio recordings

  • Phone numbers (released back to the pool)

  • Contacts and shared contact data

  • Payment methods (removed from WIGGWIGG; our payment processor keeps its own record under its retention rules)

  • Security credentials (passkeys, two-factor authentication)

  • Support tickets and attachments

  • Achievements and credits

  • User preferences and security settings

  • All encrypted data and files stored on our servers

What We Retain

What Canadian tax law and the law on illegal content require us to keep, plus what the security of the service requires:

  • Invoices and necessary tax records, generally kept for six years after the end of the last relevant year, or longer when legally required

  • Retained billing records include amounts, dates, taxes, payment-method type, and the product billed. They also include the information needed to support the tax treatment: the country and province, territory, or state you selected, and your confirmation that this is where you live. The information collected to support the tax treatment is encrypted separately from your vault and remains readable by WIGGWIGG. It does not include your vault contents or communications.

  • For the security of the service, security audit logs, kept up to 7 years

  • The verdict of content checks that flagged something, and, for content flagged as illegal, the copy the law requires us to preserve

The tax information, security logs, and content records described above are the exceptions to deletion.

Export Your Data First

We recommend exporting your data before initiating account deletion. Once the 30-day grace period expires, we cannot recover any of your data. Encrypted backups age out within 30 days after that.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I undo the deletion?

Yes, during the 30-day grace period. Sign back in with your Account ID and password, then choose Cancel deletion in the banner at the top of the app. Your account and all data will be fully restored. After 30 days, deletion is permanent and cannot be reversed.

What happens to my phone numbers?

Your phone numbers must be released before deletion can proceed. The app guides you through this step. Once released, the numbers return to the available pool and may be assigned to someone else.

Do I need to cancel my subscriptions first?

The app will check for active subscriptions, outstanding balances, and active phone numbers before allowing deletion. It guides you through resolving each one.

Why do you keep tax records after account deletion?

We keep these tax records for the period required by law, generally six years after the end of the last relevant year. A specific legal requirement may extend that period. Account deletion does not end this obligation. Retained billing records include amounts, dates, taxes, payment-method type, and the product billed. They also include the information needed to support the tax treatment: the country and province, territory, or state you selected, and your confirmation that this is where you live. The information collected to support the tax treatment is encrypted separately from your vault and remains readable by WIGGWIGG. It does not include your vault contents or communications.

Can I request deletion by email?

No. For your security, account deletion is only available through the app after authentication. This prevents unauthorized deletion of your account. Go to Settings → Privacy & Data to initiate the process.
