Delete your Showdek account.
The current Android app includes direct account deletion. The steps and two-stage cleanup behavior below are traced to the app and its deletion implementation.
Plain-language summary
At a glance
You can start account deletion in the Showdek Android app. Showdek first hides and anonymizes supported account data, then a trusted backend process completes authentication-account and stored-file cleanup.
- Use Profile, More, Account settings, then Delete account.
- Immediate hiding and anonymization is the first deletion stage, not a separate deactivation option.
- Showdek does not currently publish a fixed completion time for final backend cleanup.
- If you cannot access the app, create an email request to privacy@showdek.com.
This summary is a quick guide. The detailed deletion and retention information below provides the full explanation.

Delete Your Account in the App
- Open Showdek and select Profile in the bottom navigation.
- Open the More menu in the top-right of your profile.
- Choose Account settings.
- Scroll to Delete account. You may add an optional reason.
- Select Delete my account, review the confirmation, and confirm Delete account.
What Happens Immediately
The current app sends an authenticated deletion request, hides and anonymizes your profile and public content, clears supported social relationships and private preferences, and signs you out. Posts and projects are removed from public view; comments are marked deleted; sent direct-message text and attachment references are cleared. This is the first stage of deletion, not a separate deactivation option, and final backend cleanup may still be in progress.
Final Account and File Cleanup
The app records a deletion request for a trusted backend process to finish deleting the authentication account and stored files, including stored media. Showdek does not currently publish a fixed completion time for this stage.
Data That May Remain During Processing
- The deletion-request record remains so trusted operators can complete and audit the request.
- Deleted comments remain as deleted records rather than live comment text.
- Data outside Showdek control, such as copies another person exported or stored, cannot be removed by the app.
- Any additional legal, security, abuse-prevention, or backup retention must follow the Privacy Policy and applicable requirements; the client source does not define a blanket retention period.
