Delete your Spießer account
This page applies to the app Spießer (shared flat expenses) by Thomas Lorenz. It explains how to delete your account and what happens to your data afterwards. Sad to see you go, but rules are rules.
How to do it in the app
- Open Spießer and, in the My flat tab, tap the profile icon.
- Scroll down to the Danger zone and tap Delete account.
- Confirm as shown on screen (if you signed up with email, also enter your email address and password) and type "Delete account" to confirm.
Sort this out first: open purchases you are involved in need to be split or deleted first. If you still have an outstanding balance, it is automatically recorded as a settlement when you delete your account. No real money moves, so it's best to sort out open amounts with your flatmates beforehand.
Without the app: by email
Don't have the app installed anymore? Email us at [email protected], ideally from the email address you use for Spießer. Subject: "Delete account".
We confirm receipt and delete your account without undue delay, at the latest within one month. If we can't be sure the request comes from you, we'll ask a quick follow-up question.
What gets deleted
- Your profile with name, email address and optional details such as profile picture, phone number and PayPal info
- Your login. You can no longer sign in with this account afterwards.
- The push tokens of your devices
- Your receipt scan quota
- Your uploaded files and receipt photos in your personal storage
- Your flat membership
What stays and why
Spießer is a shared ledger. To keep your flatmates' balances correct after you move out, the following stays in the flat's history:
- Settled shared purchases with items and amounts
- Settlement payments you were part of, including the settlement recorded when you delete your account
- The link to the receipt photo on a settled purchase. If you uploaded the photo, the image file itself is deleted along with your personal storage.
These entries are no longer linked to your profile. In the app you appear there as "former flatmate". They stay stored as long as the flat needs them for its accounting or until a flat member deletes the purchase.
When you delete your account, your flatmates get a one-time push notification and an email with your name saying that you deleted your account. If you still had an outstanding balance, it also shows how their balance changes. We send these emails via Brevo.
If you contacted us outside the app, for example for the waiting list, the receipt scanner demo or a survey, deleting your account does not automatically delete that data. Just email us at [email protected].
