Delete your data

You can remove everything yourself in seconds, or ask us to do it for you.

Option 1 — delete it yourself, immediately

  1. Sign in to Lost Money Detective.
  2. Open the Privacy screen (Trust Center).
  3. Choose Delete my data and confirm.

You can also disconnect a single mailbox or financial account from the Accounts screen without deleting everything else. Disconnecting stops further access right away.

Sign in and delete

Option 2 — send a deletion request

Email privacy@lostmoneydetective.com from the address on your account, or use the button below to open a pre-filled message. We will verify that the request comes from the account holder, then process it. We aim to acknowledge within two business days and complete verified deletion requests within 30 days.

What deletion removes

  • Findings and their lifecycle status
  • Evidence records and stored snippets
  • Imported transactions from linked financial accounts
  • Scan history and scan checkpoints
  • Email and financial connection records, including server-side access tokens
  • Notifications, alerts and recovery notes

Deleting data in Lost Money Detective and revoking access at the provider are two separate steps. We remove the stored access token so further access stops, and we ask the provider to revoke its grant. If a bank revocation call does not succeed right away, the request is saved server-side and retried automatically, and the app tells you it has not confirmed yet. For mailbox connections there is no automatic retry: the app says the revocation is still pending and you can also remove access from your mailbox provider's security settings. Data already held by a provider such as Plaid or your financial institution is governed by their own policies, and you may need to contact them directly for their records. We may retain limited records where a law requires it, and routine backups age out on their normal cycle.
