Account & Data Deletion

How to request account deletion, deletion of personal information, or removal of a device-account association.

Last updated:

Submit a request

There is currently no self-service account deletion feature. Send an email from your registered address to [email protected] with the subject "ODict account and data request". Explain whether you want to delete your account, remove specific personal information, or unlink a device. If you use Google sign-in, contact us from that account's email address. Do not send your Google password or sign-in credentials.

Verification and scope

To prevent unauthorized deletion, the developer may ask you to confirm the request using the relevant email address. Account details, third-party identity links, sessions, and device-account associations will be handled within the verified request's scope. We will explain information that cannot immediately be deleted or must be retained, and why. This page does not mean that automatic, immediate, or fixed-deadline account deletion has been implemented.

Device deduplication records

Device deduplication records are retained long term by default to avoid counting reinstallations or returning devices again. Turning off startup statistics or signing out does not automatically remove these records. Specify in your email if you want an account association removed or device-related information deleted. You do not need to send the raw hardware UUID, serial number, or installation private key.

Remove local data

You can clear browser records in your browser's site-data settings. Deleting an account on the server does not clear files on your browser or Mac. Client history, imported dictionaries, and Keychain credentials are managed through local settings and the operating system. Removing local records does not automatically remove server-side data.

Revoking Google authorization is different

You can revoke authorization in your Google Account's third-party connections page. This affects future Google sign-in but does not automatically delete your ODict account, dictionary entries, or device records. To request deletion of ODict data as well, contact us using the procedure above.

Content, logs, and backups

Public dictionary entries and existing dictionary revisions are not necessarily personal account information that can be deleted with an account. Diagnostics, security records, necessary maintenance records, and backups may need separate handling. The applicable scope will be explained after the request is verified. Signing out or clearing cookies does not mean all data has been deleted.
