Account Management

Delete Your Account

Learn how to request deletion of your Capturly account and what data is affected.

Important Information

Account deletion is permanent and irreversible. Before proceeding, please ensure you have exported any data you wish to keep. Your local recordings on your devices will not be affected by account deletion.

Who This Applies To

This applies to anyone who created a Capturly account — including free accounts created with Google, Apple, or email sign-in, as well as Pro, Team, and Lifetime accounts. Any account holder can delete their account and associated personal data.

If you have never signed in and use Capturly only for local recording, we do not hold an account for you; uninstalling the app removes the local data on that device.

How to Request Account Deletion

You can request deletion of your Capturly account using any of the following methods:

1In the app or your account settings (self-service)

Open Settings → Account in the Capturly app and select "Delete Account", or log in at capturly.app/account/settings and select "Delete Account" at the bottom of the page. Deletion completes without contacting support.

2Via Email

If you prefer, email privacy@capturly.app with the subject "Account Deletion Request" from the address associated with your account.

3Via Contact Form

Submit a deletion request through our contact page with "Account Deletion" as the subject.

Data That Will Be Deleted

When you request account deletion, the following data will be permanently removed from our servers:

  • Your account profile (email address, name, profile information)
  • Authentication credentials and login sessions
  • Subscription and billing history
  • License keys associated with your account
  • App preferences and settings synced to your account
  • Usage analytics tied to your account
  • Support tickets and communication history
  • Any WebRTC session metadata from online collaboration features
  • Recordings and files stored in your cloud library, including cloud-backup copies and any multi-participant transfer files uploaded to our infrastructure

Data That Is NOT Affected

The following data is stored locally on your device and is not affected by account deletion:

  • Local recordings on your device – Recordings are captured locally first. The local copies on your computer or mobile device remain yours and are not touched by account deletion. (Any copies you uploaded to your cloud library, cloud backup, or a multi-participant transfer are deleted — see "Data That Will Be Deleted" above.)
  • Local app settings – Device-specific preferences stored on your computer or mobile device
  • Exported files – Any files you have exported or saved to your local storage

To remove local data, uninstall the Capturly app from your device.

Data Retention Period

  • Account data: Deleted within 30 days of your request being processed
  • Backup systems: Data may persist in encrypted backups for up to 90 days before being permanently purged
  • Legal obligations: Certain financial records may be retained for up to 7 years as required by tax and accounting regulations
  • Anonymized analytics: Aggregated, non-identifiable usage statistics may be retained indefinitely for product improvement

Processing Time

We aim to process all account deletion requests within the following timeframes:

  • Acknowledgment: Within 48 hours of receiving your request
  • Account deactivation: Within 7 days
  • Complete data deletion: Within 30 days

You will receive email confirmation once your account has been deleted.
