Steps

  2. On Delete My Account, pick a reason if you like and add a note in Anything else you want to add?. Both are optional.

    The Delete My Account screen with three reasons as radio buttons, an optional comment box, a note that deleting removes all transactions and configurations, and a red Delete My Account Now button.
  3. Tap Delete My Account Now. A sheet asks Are you sure you want to delete the account for [Name]? Tap Delete My Account, or Cancel Deletion.

What is removed

Shayr keeps a record that you asked for deletion, with the reason you chose and any note you wrote. If you need written confirmation that everything else was erased, email privacy@shayrapp.com.

Before you delete

If you own a household

If your household has other active members, deletion is blocked. Transfer ownership first (see Account ownership) or remove them. The error says to delete the family, but the app has no button for that, so transfer or remove.

A member who is not the owner can delete their own account. Their banks and transactions disappear from the shared view.

If something goes wrong

It says Action Required: You own a family.
Use Transfer Ownership in Settings, then try again.
I want my data deleted but I cannot use the app.
Email privacy@shayrapp.com from the address on your account.
