Delete your account

Last updated: 19 October 2026

Request account or data deletion

Delete directly in the app: open the Account tab, tap Delete my account, then confirm with Delete everything. This works on Android and iPhone without emailing support. The email options below are an additional route if you cannot use the app.

You can request deletion of your Chicken Genetics Calculator account and its associated data without installing or signing in to the app.

Request account deletion by email, or write to wolfhoeve@gmail.com with the subject Chicken Genetics Calculator account deletion.

Send the request from the email address registered to your account. Say whether you want your entire account and its data deleted, or only specific records or photos. We verify ownership of the registered email address before deleting anything. If you cannot access that email address, contact the same support address for help with verification. Do not send passwords or sign-in codes.

Request deletion of specific data by email. Describe the records or photos you want removed; your remaining account and records stay available.

Account deletion removes your account and email address, flock records, saved crosses, breeding plans, projects and attached photos. Read the deletion details before requesting deletion. Store subscriptions must be cancelled separately through Google Play or the App Store.

You can delete your Chicken Genetics Calculator account, and everything stored against it, from inside the app. Deletion is immediate and permanent. If you would like to keep a copy of your records, export them first — once the account is gone it cannot be recovered.

Export your records first (optional)

If you want to keep what you have entered, take a copy before deleting:

Open the Chicken Genetics Calculator app and sign in.
Go to the Account tab.
Tap Export my records, and save or send the file it produces.

The export contains a full copy of everything stored against your account.

Open the Chicken Genetics Calculator app and sign in.
Go to the Account tab.
Tap Delete my account.
Confirm by tapping Delete everything.

What is deleted

Everything stored against your account is removed permanently:

Your account and email address. The email address used to sign in is deleted along with the account.
Your flock. Every chicken record, including names, sex, breed and variety, recorded genetics, parentage and notes.
Your crosses and projects. Every saved cross, breeding plan and project, including hatch records.
Your photos. Every photograph attached to any of your records.

None of it is retained after deletion, and there is no recovery period — this is a deletion, not a deactivation.

Your subscription is separate. If you have an auto-renewing subscription, deleting your account does not cancel it. Cancel it separately through the store where you subscribed to prevent further renewals: manage App Store subscriptions on iPhone, or manage Google Play subscriptions on Android. You can delete your account immediately without waiting for the subscription to expire.

Deleting only some of your data

You do not have to delete your whole account to remove something. Anything you have entered can be deleted on its own, from the record itself, and the rest of your account is untouched:

A chicken. Open the chicken's record and tap Delete this chicken.
A photograph. Open the chicken's record, select the photo, and tap Delete photo — the record itself stays.
A cross or a hatch record. From My Crosses, delete the cross, or a single hatch record within it.
A project. From the Projects tab, delete the project.

These deletions are immediate and permanent in the same way account deletion is, and they do not need a request — you can do them yourself at any time.

If you cannot get into the app

Use the email deletion request above. You do not need to reinstall the app or sign in to submit a request.

The free website tools

The tools on this website — Compare Standards, Breeding Outcomes and photo identification — need no account and store nothing that identifies you, so there is nothing to delete for those. Photographs sent to the identification tool are never stored.
