Delete your account

This English translation is provided for convenience. The German version at tablemates.social/legal is the legally binding one; in case of any discrepancy, the German text prevails.

This page describes how to delete your TableMates account, what is deleted in the process, and what remains for a while and for what reason. The provider of the app is the controller named in the Impressum (Legal Notice).

1. Deleting in the app

1. Open TableMates and log in.
2. Tap Profile at the bottom.
3. Scroll to the end and tap Delete your account.
4. Confirm with your password and tap Delete permanently.

Deletion is carried out immediately. You will be logged out and can no longer log in with this account.

2. Deleting without the app

If you no longer have the app installed, it works the same way on the website: on tablemates.social/konto-loeschen, enter your email address and password, confirm, done. Deletion happens immediately, with no waiting period and no confirmation query by email.

If you can no longer log in, write to contact@tablemates.social from the email address you registered with. Subject: "Konto löschen" (German for "delete account"). We will delete the account within 30 days and confirm this to you by email. If the request comes from a different address, we will check back once to make sure the request is from you.

3. What is deleted

The following is deleted together with the account:

• Profile: display name, about-me text, occupation, photo link, home area, availability, means of transport
• Email address, year of birth (and month of birth, if applicable) and password
• Interests, tastes, languages, skills and areas
• Phone number and address, as well as everything of these that you shared with others
• Connections, connection requests, your connection code, notes and log on your contacts
• Blocks, reminder and suggestion settings
• Feedback and tickets you sent from the app
• Login sessions and password reset codes

The account itself is anonymized: no record remains that can be attributed to you.

4. What remains and for how long

• Shared content remains without any reference to you: meetups you took part in continue for the others, and your contributions there appear as "deleted account".
• Reports you submitted or that were received against you remain stored for moderation for as long as they are needed for review and for preventing abuse (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
• Backup copies of the database are kept for 14 days and then deleted automatically. After 14 days at the latest, your data has also disappeared from the backups.

5. Deleting individual data without deleting the account

You can remove a lot and still stay:

• Profile → Edit: clear the about-me text, occupation, photo link, phone number and address; deselect interests, tastes, languages and areas. Saved empty means deleted.
• Contacts tab: delete individual entries in the log for a contact.
• Safety: lift blocks.
• Settings: turn off reminders.

Contact details you released after a meetup and individual connections cannot yet be withdrawn in the app. For these, and for anything else you cannot reach yourself, write to contact@tablemates.social; we will take care of it within 30 days (Art. 17 GDPR).

Everything else about the processing of your data can be found in the Privacy Policy.
