Weekly Budget has no accounts, so there is no account to close. Everything you enter is stored against a budget, which is identified by its budget ID. Deleting your data means deleting your budget, and that is done by asking for it.
How to ask
- Find the budget ID. Open the budget's settings: Edit budget in the Android app and on the website, or the gear icon in the iPhone app. The ID is shown there and can be copied.
- Email it. Send the ID to avens19@gmail.com with the subject Delete my budget. If you use more than one budget, send each ID.
- Wait for the reply. You will get an email back once the budget has been deleted.
The budget ID is what proves the budget is yours, so nothing else is needed to ask. It is also why you should not share the ID with anyone you would not want to be able to read the budget.
A budget can be shared. If you gave the ID, or an invitation, to a partner or anyone else, deleting the budget deletes it for them too.
What is deleted
The budget itself and everything stored with it:
- its name, weekly amount, and the weekday its week starts on;
- every expense, with its description, amount, date and category;
- every category;
- every invitation, used or not.
It is removed from the server's database. Once that is done the budget ID stops working, and nobody can open the budget again with it.
A phone that already had the budget keeps its own downloaded copy until it is removed there, with Remove from this device in the app. Deleting on the server does not reach into a phone and wipe that copy.
What is kept
Two things survive deleting a budget, and neither contains anything you typed:
- Daily request counts for the whole service: how many requests were handled on a given day, for which screens, from which kind of app. They are not tied to you, to a device, or to a budget.
- A record that a budget ID was in use on a given day: a date and the ID, and nothing else. It is how "how many budgets are active" is counted. It is not removed along with the budget; ask in the same email if you want it removed too.
Nothing else is kept after a budget is deleted. See the privacy policy for everything the service stores while a budget exists.
Removing it from one device only
Remove from this device takes a budget off one phone and leaves it on the server for everyone else using it. It is not a deletion.
