Delete your TaleRic account

Last updated: 28 July 2026

This page explains how to delete your TaleRic account and what happens to your data. It exists so that you can request deletion without installing the app — Google Play requires a publicly reachable deletion page for every app that lets you create an account.

TaleRic is operated by Ricardo Marques Gonçalves. Questions: contact@ricstudios.com.

Option 1 — delete it yourself, in the app

1. Open TaleRic and sign in.
2. Go to Settings.
3. Scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.
4. Confirm when prompted.

Deletion is immediate and permanent. You will be signed out as soon as it completes.

Option 2 — request deletion by email

If you no longer have the app installed, or you cannot sign in, email contact@ricstudios.com from the address associated with your account, with the subject "Delete my account".

We will verify that the request comes from the account owner and complete the deletion within 30 days, usually much sooner. If we cannot verify ownership from the sending address, we may ask you for one additional piece of information (for example, the approximate date you signed up) before proceeding.

What is deleted

Everything tied to your account is erased:

• Your account and login credentials;
• Saved words, translations, example sentences, and review schedules;
• Daily activity counters and quiz history;
• Reading progress and positions in books;
• App settings and preferences;
• Your subscription record and AI usage counters held by us.

What is kept, and why

• Book requests. If you asked us to add a title to the catalog, the request text is kept but permanently unlinked from you, so it no longer identifies anyone. It is used only as a catalog backlog.
• Purchase records held by Apple or Google. Your subscription is billed by the app store, not by us. Deleting your TaleRic account does not cancel an active subscription and does not delete the store's own billing records. Cancel the subscription in the App Store or Google Play before deleting your account, otherwise it will keep renewing. Apple and Google retain purchase records for their own legal and tax obligations.
• Crash reports. Diagnostics already recorded by our crash-reporting provider are keyed to your account identifier only — never your email or name — and expire on that provider's standard retention schedule.
• Books stored on your device. These never leave your phone and are removed when you uninstall the app.

Retention

Once deletion completes, the data listed under "What is deleted" is removed from our live systems immediately. Routine encrypted backups may briefly retain a copy until they rotate out on their normal schedule.
