Delete your Hedgehog Chef account
You can delete your account yourself at any time, in the app or on the web. If you can't sign in, email us and we'll delete it for you.
In the iPhone or Android app
In the Hedgehog Chef app from the App Store or Google Play, go to Settings › Delete account and confirm. If you installed Hedgehog from your browser, that's the web app: use the steps for the web.
On the web
Go to app.hedgehogchef.com › Settings › Account › Delete account, sign in if you're asked to, and confirm.
Either way, you confirm by typing DELETE and, if your account has a password, entering it. If you sign in with Google or Apple, you may be asked to sign in again first.
Without the app
Email hello@hedgehogchef.com from the address you use for Hedgehog and ask us to delete your account. We answer within 30 days.
What happens to your data
- When you delete your account, your personal details, sessions, tokens and connections are deleted. If you were the last person in your kitchen, its recipes, plans, lists, pantry and photos are deleted too; otherwise the kitchen stays with its other members.
- You're signed out on every device at once.
- Deleted data can remain in our providers' backups for a limited time before it's overwritten.
- Billing records are kept as long as tax law requires.
Deleting can't be undone. To keep your recipes, download them first on the web in Settings › Import & export. The privacy policy says what we keep and why.
