Delete your Cove account

Want to get rid of your Cove account? You can do it right in the app or by email. Here’s how, what’s gone afterwards, and how to delete only some of your data.

In the app

  1. Open Profile and tap Settings.
  2. Go to Data and, under Account, tap Delete account.
  3. Confirm with Delete for good.

Done, your account is deleted. Don’t see the option yet? Update the app or just send us an email.

Without the app, by email

Email [email protected] from the address that belongs to your Cove account, with the subject “Delete account”. We’ll delete your account within 30 days.

What gets deleted

  • your account
  • all synced data: recipes, shopping lists, week plan, categories, photos and files
  • your conversations with support
  • your devices’ push notification registrations
  • your import jobs

If you delete in the app, your Cove data on that device goes too: recipes, lists and your week plan. This can’t be undone. Want to keep your recipes? Export them in Settings first.

Delete only some of your data

Want to keep your account and just get rid of certain data? You can do that too.

  • In the app: Delete recipes, shopping lists, week plan entries and categories right in Cove. If you have an account, the deletion syncs to our server, where the data is gone for good within 30 days.
  • By email: We’ll delete anything else for you, for example photos and files already synced to our server, your conversations with support or your import jobs. Email [email protected] from the address that belongs to your Cove account and tell us what to delete. We’ll take care of it within 30 days.

What stays

  • Your purchases: They belong to your Apple or Google account, not to Cove. Tap Restore Purchase to get them back anytime.
  • Crash reports: If you turned them on, they’re stored with Sentry and deleted after 90 days.
  • Cached AI results: They aren’t linked to any account and are deleted after 7 days at most.
  • Anonymous AI usage data (e.g. time, model and cost): We may keep it for billing and abuse prevention. It isn’t linked to your account.
