In the app
- Open Terns and go to You.
- Scroll to the bottom and tap Delete my account.
- Confirm. You may be asked to sign in with Apple or Google again first.
Your account is deleted straight away.
Without the app
Email support@terns.uk from the email address you signed in with, with the subject "Delete my Terns account". If you used Sign in with Apple and hid your email, tell us that, and we'll find your account with you. We delete it within 30 days and email you when it's done.
