Delete Your Account

Last updated: August 1, 2026

This page explains how to request deletion of your YourFitnessPal account and the data associated with it, what gets deleted, and what we are required to keep.

Option 1 — Delete from inside the app

The fastest way. Deletion is immediate and cannot be undone.

1. Open YourFitnessPal on your phone.
2. Go to the Profile tab.
3. Scroll to Account.
4. Tap Delete account.
5. Confirm. Your account and its data are removed.

Option 2 — Request deletion by email

Use this if you no longer have access to the app or your device.

1. Email support@yourfitnesspal.org from the address linked to your account.
2. Use the subject line “Delete my account”.
3. We verify that you own the account, then delete it within 30 days and confirm by email.

What we delete

• Account details: name, email address, and your user ID.
• Profile data: date of birth, sex, height, weight, target weight, goals and preferences.
• Food and nutrition logs: meals, calories, macros and saved foods.
• Activity logs: weight entries, water, fasts and exercise.
• Health & fitness data received from Apple Health or Health Connect.
• Photos you uploaded for meal and menu scanning.
• Support correspondence linked to your account.

What we keep, and for how long

• Purchase and subscription records — retained as required by tax and accounting law. These are held by Apple, Google Play and our payment processor, and are no longer linked to a profile.
• Anonymised, aggregated analytics and crash reports — retained indefinitely. These cannot be used to identify you.
• Backup copies — purged within 90 days of deletion.
• Records we are legally required to retain — kept only for the period the law requires, then deleted.

Cancel your subscription first

Deleting your account does not cancel an active subscription, because subscriptions are managed by the app store, not by us.

• Google Play: Play Store → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions → YourFitnessPal → Cancel.
• Apple: Settings → your name → Subscriptions → YourFitnessPal → Cancel.

Export your data first

Deletion is permanent. If you want a copy of your logs, export them from the app before you delete, or email privacy@yourfitnesspal.org.
