Option 1 — Delete from the app (fastest)

Open bud on your iPhone, iPad, or Android device.
Sign in. Deleting an account requires an internet connection.
On Home, tap Settings.
Under Account, tap Profile.
On the Account tab, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete account.
Type delete and tap Delete account.
iPhone / iPad with Sign in with Apple: tap Continue on “Confirm with Apple” and complete Apple’s sign-in sheet, so bud can revoke its Apple ID access.

Deletion is irreversible. If you only want to erase your entries but keep your account, tap Delete data instead.

Everyone, free and Premium, can download a JSON copy of their data (profile, display and privacy settings, accounts, categories, goals, budgets and transactions) from Settings → Data Management → Download my data. Premium subscribers can also export a CSV from Settings → Data Management → Export Data. You can also request a free copy of your personal data in a machine-readable format by emailing privacy@bud.digitau.eu; we respond within 30 days.

Using bud without an account (guest)

Guest data exists only on your device and is not deleted through Profile. Remove it by uninstalling the app or clearing its storage.

Option 2 — Email request

If you cannot access the app, email privacy@bud.digitau.eu from the email address associated with your bud account. Include the subject line Delete my account. We confirm within 5 business days and complete deletion within 7 days.

What gets deleted

Your account record (email, password hash if any, display name, and any linked Apple or Google sign-in, whose access bud revokes)
All synced financial entries (accounts, transactions, categories, budgets, goals)

What is retained (and why)

Encrypted backups — deleted data remains in encrypted backups for up to 30 days (last reviewed 5 October 2026). Backups are used only for disaster recovery.
Purchase records — retained 7 years to comply with the Estonian Accounting Act (§12) by the app stores and (on Android) RevenueCat under your account identifier. They contain no financial entries.
Diagnostic reports — crash and diagnostic reports carry your account identifier and expire after our provider’s retention period; they are not deleted when you delete your account.
Copy on this device — stays until you uninstall the app.
Support email history — retained 2 years for fraud prevention and dispute resolution; sanitized to remove identifiers on request.

Cancel a subscription

Deleting your account does not cancel an active subscription, because subscriptions are billed by Apple or Google directly. Cancel through your device:

iPhone / iPad: Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions → bud → Cancel Subscription
Android: Play Store → Profile → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions → bud → Cancel
