Delete your Brief Digest account
Last updated: November 11, 2026
You can delete your Brief Digest account and everything linked to it at any time — from inside the app or the website, or by e-mail without opening the app at all.
Option 1 — delete it yourself (immediate)
- Sign in to Brief Digest in the app or at briefdigest.news.
- Open Settings (the gear icon) and stay on the Feeds tab.
- Scroll down to Danger Zone, choose “Delete Account & Data” and confirm.
Your account and data are deleted straight away.
Option 2 — ask us by e-mail (no app needed)
Send an e-mail to privacy@briefdigest.news from the address you use to sign in to Brief Digest, with the subject “Delete my account”.
We may reply to confirm the request comes from you. We complete the deletion within 30 days — usually much sooner — and let you know when it is done.
What is deleted
- Your profile and sign-in record
- Your feeds, categories, filters and preferences
- Your saved stories and reading state
- The per-publisher reading counters and the feedback you gave on stories
What is kept
- Invoices and accounting records for Pro payments, for as long as tax law requires. They are not removed by an account deletion.
- Our payment processor, Stripe, keeps its own transaction records independently.
If you have Pro
Deleting your account also cancels your Pro subscription, so you will not be charged again.
More about the data we hold and how long we keep it is in our Privacy Policy.
