Cockroach Club
Delete Account
Use this page to request deletion of a Cockroach Club account. The app uses
anonymous Firebase sessions, so including your username helps us find the correct
profile if you cannot make the request from inside the app.
What Gets Deleted
- Your Firebase Authentication user is removed after the authenticated deletion endpoint succeeds.
- Your public profile is anonymized immediately and excluded from leaderboards.
- Uploaded profile images are deleted from Firebase Storage.
- Boost records owned by you are removed and affected counters are adjusted.
- Remaining soft-deleted Firestore records are permanently cleaned up after 30 days.
Retention Period
Cockroach Club uses a 30-day soft-delete period for backend safety, abuse
prevention, and operational audit checks. During that time the public profile is
already anonymized. After 30 days, the scheduled cleanup removes the retained
account records.
Request Form
Authenticated Endpoint
When called from the signed-in app session, Cockroach Club deletes the account
through DELETE /api/v1/users/me with a Firebase ID token in the
Authorization header. This prevents deleting another user.
