Is there an account?
Using Skerrick needs no account. The only thing that makes one is backup, which is off when you install the app. If you never turned on “Back up my settings and receipts” in the You tab, nothing about you is on our server and there is nothing to delete here. Deleting the app removes everything it kept on the phone.
If you did turn backup on, our server holds an account id, your settings and your weekly totals. On Android it also holds what Google shares about the Google account you signed in with: its name, email address and profile photo link, and Google’s id for it. On iPhone it holds no name and no email. If you asked for a copy of your data in the last 30 days, that PDF, which names the address it was sent to, is on our server too.
See it before you delete it
If you want to know exactly what would go, ask for it first. In the You tab, under “Send me a copy of my data”, put in an address and Skerrick emails you a PDF of everything on our server: the account, your settings and your weekly totals, with why each thing is held and how long it is kept. On Android the address is already filled in from your Google account; on iPhone it starts empty, because Skerrick never asked Apple for your email. The card is there whether backup is on or off, as long as there is still something on the server to copy.
Delete it in the app
- Open Skerrick and go to the You tab.
- Turn off “Back up my settings and receipts”.
- When Skerrick asks whether to delete what was backed up, choose “Delete it”.
If you chose “Keep it” at some point, the You tab shows a card that says “A copy is still on our server”. Tap “Delete my backup” on it.
Either way, the backup, the account it was kept under and any copy of your data we emailed you are removed from our server, and the download link in that email stops working. On iPhone you confirm with Apple first, and Skerrick then tells Apple to stop sharing your Apple ID with it. Nothing on the phone is touched, and the app carries on working without backup.
Uninstalling is not deleting
Deleting Skerrick from your phone does not delete the backup or the account. Our server cannot tell that the app has gone. Delete the backup in the app first, then uninstall.
If you no longer have the app
Email privacy@skerrick.app and ask us to delete your Skerrick account. Say whether you used an iPhone or an Android phone. We will delete the backup, the account and any copy of your data, and reply to say it is done, within a month at most.
On Android, send it from the Google address you signed in with, so we can find the account. On iPhone, Skerrick never had your email, so we cannot look the account up from it. The quickest way is to install Skerrick again, turn backup on with the same Apple ID so it finds the account, then turn backup off and choose “Delete it”. If you cannot do that, email us anyway and we will work it out with you.
What deleting does not do
- It does not cancel Pro. Subscriptions belong to the App Store or Google Play, so cancel in your store’s subscription settings.
- It does not take you off the iPhone waitlist, which is not tied to an account. Email privacy@skerrick.app from that address and we will remove it.
What is collected, and why, is in the privacy policy, along with who we are and how long everything is kept.
