Your data
How to delete your data
Take a copy first, then delete the account. It is a real delete — rows are removed, not flagged — and it cannot be undone.

Take a copy first
Deleting is immediate and there is no recovery, so export before you do it. In Settings → Your data, "Download everything" gives you one JSON file containing your profile, résumés, saved jobs, saved searches, applications and their whole event history, interviews, contacts, tasks, documents and notification preferences — including archived and completed rows the screens hide. The same file imports back into a fresh account.
The tracker also exports as a CSV if a spreadsheet is what you want. Every run export is complete on any plan; the whole-tracker export is capped at the most recent rows on the free plan, and the response says so rather than quietly handing you a short file.
Delete one thing
You do not have to take the whole account down to remove something.
- A résumé: Résumés, then delete. The parsed text and any tailored versions go with it.
- A saved job, a saved search, a tracked application, an interview, a contact: delete it on its own screen.
- Remembered answers: Apply → Setup lists every answer we have kept and what question it came from. Clearing one means the next board asking that question asks you instead.
Delete the account
Settings → Account → Delete account. You type your email address to confirm, your session ends, and the row is deleted.
Everything belonging to that account goes with it in the same statement — foreign keys cascade the delete through applications, events, résumés, saved searches, receipts and the rest. Nothing is flagged as deleted and kept; the rows stop existing.
Two things survive, and both are true of every account:
- The job index. Postings are public listings from public feeds. They were never yours and they are not affected.
- Anything you already sent. An application that reached an employer is on the employer's system. We were never a party to that submission and cannot withdraw it — you would contact the company directly.
If the app is running on your own machine, all of the above lives in one SQLite file. Deleting the account empties your rows out of it; deleting the file removes everything, including the index.
