What "delete your account" means

Your account only exists at all if you chose to sign in. If you've been using the app signed-out, there's nothing on our servers to delete — everything lives on your phone. Uninstalling the app removes it.

If you did sign in, your account holds:

  • Your email address and — if you set one — a display name.
  • Your unique handle (e.g. @rossg) used for Baggers.
  • A cloud copy of your walk log, notes and marked hills so they sync across devices.
  • Your Bagger connections (who you've added, who's added you).
  • Any walks you've shared with Baggers.

Deleting your account removes all of the above from our servers (Firebase / Firestore) within 30 days. Backups roll over on the same timescale.

How to request deletion

Email us at ross@climbamunro.com from the same address you signed up with, with the subject line "Delete my Climb A Munro account".

You don't need to explain why — that's your business.

What happens next

  1. We reply within 3 working days to confirm the request.
  2. Your account and the data above are deleted from Firestore within 30 days of confirmation.
  3. Your handle is released so someone else can claim it in future.
  4. Any walks you shared with Baggers are removed — your friends will no longer see them.

What doesn't get deleted (and why)

  • Local walk logs on other people's phones. If a Bagger downloaded one of your shared routes onto their own device, it's now on their phone and outside our reach — same as a photo you sent them in a message.
  • Anonymised aggregate stats. The app doesn't run any, so nothing to strip. The website counts page views, but those aren't tied to an account and hold nothing that could be traced back to you.

Prefer not to delete?

Two lighter options:

  • Sign out — Profile → Sign out. Your walks stay on your phone; your cloud copy stays on our servers but nothing new syncs until you sign back in.
  • Turn off Baggers visibility — coming in a future update. Until then, remove specific Baggers from the Baggers screen and they'll no longer see you.
