Delete your account
You can delete your Hookabet account at any time, yourself, in a few seconds. Deleting it is immediate and permanent.
In the app or on the web
- Open Hookabet: the app on your phone, or app.hookabet.com/settings in any browser.
- If you saved your progress to Google and this device doesn’t have it yet, choose “Saved your progress before? Sign in with Google” first.
- Go to Profile → Settings and choose Delete account at the bottom, then confirm.
By email
If you can’t sign in any more, write to hello@hookabet.com from the email address of the Google account you linked, with the subject “Delete my account”. We delete the account within 7 days and reply when it’s done.
If you never linked a Google account and no longer have the browser you learned in, there is nothing that tells us which account was yours: an anonymous account holds no name and no email address.
What is deleted
- your account and its link to Google (email address, name, profile picture);
- all your progress: letters, words, answers, review schedule, XP and totals.
What stays, and for how long
- Encrypted backups still contain your data for up to 30 days, after which it is gone from them too.
- Usage statistics in PostHog are tied to a random ID, not to your name or email, and are kept for up to one year. If you want these deleted as well, tell us by email.
- Likes you gave on hookabet.com were never linked to your account, so they stay, anonymously.
