We believe your data belongs to you. This page explains exactly what gets deleted, and gives you two ways to request it — the fastest of which takes seconds inside the app.

⚠️

This action is permanent and cannot be undone. Once deleted, your account and all study progress — including vocabulary, kanji, and reading history — are gone forever. There is no recovery option. If you want to preserve your progress, note it before proceeding.
