In short

Website: account menu, Profile and taste, then Delete Account in the Danger Zone. App: More, Settings, Delete Account.
Type delete my account to confirm. Your profile, recipes, cookbooks, shopping lists and other data are deleted for good, and support cannot bring them back.
A Pro subscription from the website is canceled when you delete your account. One from the App Store or Google Play is not: cancel it in your store first.
Only want to stop paying? Cancel Pro and keep your account and recipes on the free plan.

You can delete your CookEase account yourself, any time, on the website or in the app. It is permanent, so read the first section before you start.

What gets deleted

Your profile, display name and avatar.
The photos and PDFs you saved recipes from, and recipe pictures only you were using.
Every recipe you saved or made, and all your cookbooks.
Your shopping lists and order history.
Recipes you shared: their links stop working and they leave the Discover feed.
Saves that were still in progress and your usage history.

Copies of your shared recipes that other people already saved stay in their cookbooks. A few records may be kept for a limited time where the law requires it, as our privacy policy explains. Support cannot restore a deleted account.

Questions people ask

Does deleting my account cancel my subscription?

If you subscribed on the website, yes: it is canceled right away and you are not charged again. If you subscribed through the App Store or Google Play, no, because Apple or Google bills it. Cancel it before you delete your account: in iPhone Settings, your name, Subscriptions, or in the Play Store, your profile, Payments and subscriptions, Subscriptions.

Can I get my recipes back after deleting?

No. Deletion is permanent and support cannot restore an account or its recipes. If you might want them later, keep your account: canceling Pro or simply logging out deletes nothing.

What happens to recipes I shared?

Your recipes are deleted, so their shared links stop working and they leave the Discover feed. Copies that other people already saved to their own cookbooks stay with them.

Can I come back later with the same email?

Yes, you can sign up again with the same email address, Google or Apple account. It starts as a brand-new account with an empty cookbook.

Can someone delete my account for me?

If you cannot get into your account, email info@cookeaseapp.com from the address on the account and we will help. We may need to check it is really you first.
