Deleting your account

From the app or the website

Signed in, go to Settings and choose Delete account. The screen shows exactly what deletion will reach — how many blocs, how many of those hold a certificate, and what is attached to your identity — before it asks you to confirm by typing your handle.

The Android application has the same control in the same place, and it does the same thing: there is one registry and one account behind both.

What always goes

Your sign-in, your sessions on every device, your email address, anything Google supplied when you signed in with it, your Instagram handle, your notification preferences, your push subscriptions, and any submission you started and never finished — including the photographs uploaded for it.

This half is not optional and not negotiable. It happens whatever you choose below.

What happens to your blocs is your choice

By default they stay. A bloc that was admitted is public and permanently licensed, and several of them may hold a day’s certificate that other people inspected. Left standing, they are credited to anonymous former Bloccer — no handle, no page, and no identifier of any kind. Not a numbered former member: a stable public label would keep exactly the identity the deletion was asked to remove. Two of your blocs will not be knowably by the same person, including to you.

If you ask for them to be destroyed, each goes through the registry’s expungement procedure: photographs, text, derivatives and the inspections filed on them are destroyed. The accession number itself remains consumed and stands empty, because a number that could be reissued would be worse than one that stands for nothing. If a destroyed bloc held a certificate, that day is recertified under the existing rule.

The confirmation names which option you chose, and it is the one thing on that screen that cannot be undone afterwards.

Reports you filed on other people's blocs

These stay, detached from you. They are part of how days were decided and who won them, and recomputing the archive’s history because somebody left would change facts that were already published. Nothing connects them to you afterwards.

If you cannot sign in

Write to registry@bloccers.com from the address on the account, or tell us the handle. You will be asked to establish that the account is yours — an account anybody could ask to have deleted would be worse than one nobody can.

Say in the message whether you want your blocs kept or destroyed. If you do not say, they are kept, which is the same default the app uses.

How long it takes

From the app or the website it is immediate. By email it is done within 30 days of the request being verified, and you will be told when it is.
