Delete Your Account

Sign in to Novdeh on the web or in the mobile app, open Me, then Settings, and choose Delete account. You will see a summary of what deletion will do before you confirm.

If you cannot sign in to the account you want deleted, contact Novdeh support with the email address on the account so we can verify your identity and process the request manually.

Deleting your account is permanent and cannot be undone from inside the product.

• All of your active sessions and refresh tokens are revoked immediately.
• Your organization memberships are removed.
• Your profile is anonymized: your display name, handle, bio, and avatar are cleared, and your display name is replaced with "Deleted account".
• Your purely personal data is deleted: saved articles, reading history and markers, reading and notification preferences, registered devices, and any private notes captured in the app.
• Your account is deactivated and your sign-in email is replaced so it can no longer be used to sign in.
• Your password is cleared and cannot be reset.

Deletion is blocked in a couple of specific cases so that it does not silently break other people's access:

• You are the sole owner of an organization. Transfer ownership or close the organization first.
• You have an active reader subscription. Cancel it first.
• You are the billing contact for an organization with an active Novdeh subscription, and no other owner or admin could take over. Add another owner or admin to that organization first.

Some information may be retained after deletion for legitimate legal, accounting, security, or anti-fraud reasons, consistent with the retention practices described in our Privacy Policy.

This can include billing and payment records required for accounting or tax purposes, and security or audit logs used to investigate abuse and protect the platform. Retained records are limited to what is needed for these purposes and are not used to restore or reactivate the deleted account.

Content you published on behalf of an organization, such as articles or news items, is organization-owned. It is not deleted from the organization's workspace when your personal account is deleted, and may instead be attributed to a removed or anonymized author, consistent with the organization-first model described in our Terms of Service.

Content you shared with other people, such as comments, messages, and event registrations, is not deleted either, since removing it could break other people's records or conversations. Wherever that content is shown, your name and profile are replaced with an anonymized "Deleted account" attribution.

Questions about account deletion, or requests to delete an account you cannot sign in to, should be directed through Novdeh's official support channels.

The Privacy Policy has more detail on how information is collected, used, and retained across Novdeh.
