What happens next

| For 14 days | Changed your mind? Sign in again within 14 days and everything is restored exactly as it was. |
| After 14 days | The deletion is permanent and can't be undone. Your email address is free to sign up again. |
What is deleted
After the 14 days, everything personal on your account is permanently removed:
- Your email address and password.
- Your username, display name, profile photo and cover photo, about and status line.
- Your birth date, gender, city and country, languages, interests, prompts, occupation and phone number.
- Your Random Match filters, your two-step verification secret and your chat lock code.
- Your signed-in devices and sessions (signed out straight away, on the day you delete).
What is kept, and for how long
| Data | What happens to it |
|---|---|
| Messages you sent | Messages and media you sent are part of the other person's or group's conversation, so they stay there — shown without your name or photo — until those people delete them or the chat's disappearing-messages timer removes them. |
| Your status | Removed 24 hours after you posted it, as always. |
| Reports | Reports you made, or that involve you, are kept for 30 days so admins can finish reviewing them, then deleted automatically. |
