What gets deleted

When you delete your account, the following data is permanently removed:

• Your profile (name, email, profile picture, status)
• Your activities and event history
• Your uploaded photos
• Your settings and preferences
• Your climbing grade and preference data
• Your follows and other social connections
• Your view history (which feed posts and activities you've looked at)
• Your account ID wherever it appears inside other people's content — the reactions you left and the mentions of you

What is retained

• Messages you sent in conversations with other people are anonymized (the content is removed and disassociated from you) rather than deleted, so the remaining participants' conversation history stays intact. Messages in conversations with no other participants are deleted permanently.
• Comments you posted in a discussion thread are similarly anonymized: the text and images are removed, but an empty "deleted" placeholder remains so reply threads stay intact.
• Text other people wrote is not rewritten. If someone @mentioned you by name in their own post, comment or message, those words stay — the same way a sentence that simply names you would. What is removed is your account ID behind the mention, so it no longer links to anyone.
• The cumulative "seen" (view) counts your past views contributed to other people's posts and activities are not reduced when your own viewing history is deleted.
• Reports and moderation records, where retention is required for safety or legal compliance
• Error logs (automatically purged after 90 days)

Processing time

Account deletion is processed immediately. Some cached data may take up to 48 hours to be fully purged from all systems.
