Account Deletion

Effective date: March 19, 2026

This is a plain-language project policy page for the current state of Backchat. It is not a substitute for formal legal advice.

Request account deletion

To request deletion of your Backchat account and associated hosted data, open a support request through the Backchat GitHub repository and include the username tied to the account you want deleted.

Support URL: https://github.com/mysticalg/Backchat/issues

What to include

  • Your Backchat username.
  • The recovery email address connected to that username, if you still have access to it.
  • A short note saying you are requesting account deletion.

What will be deleted

  • Hosted account profile data such as username, recovery email, avatar URL, and quote.
  • Hosted contact relationships connected to the account.
  • Hosted session records and account-linked call signaling records that can be removed as part of cleanup.

What may remain temporarily

  • Operational logs, backups, and security records may remain for a limited retention period before rotation.
  • Conversation history cached locally on devices is not automatically removed from other users' computers.
  • Messages already delivered to another user may remain in that user's local history.

Optional data deletion without account deletion

Backchat does not currently offer a separate self-service tool to delete only part of your hosted data while keeping the account active. If this changes, this page will be updated.
