How to permanently delete your FirstTakes account and the data associated with it.
Delete it from inside the app (fastest)
- Open FirstTakes and sign in.
- Go to the Profile tab and tap the settings icon (top right).
- Tap Delete account.
- Confirm. Your account and content are deleted immediately and this cannot be undone.
Or request deletion by email
If you can’t access the app, email support@firsttakes.app from the address on your account and ask us to delete your FirstTakes account. We’ll verify and process the request.
What gets deleted
- Your account and login (authentication record)
- Your profile — display name, username/handle, profile photo, and date of birth / age band
- Your 5-second takes, including the videos and their thumbnails, and your captions
- Your friend connections (friend requests and friendships)
What is kept, and for how long
- Takes are short-lived anyway: every take is automatically deleted 14 days after it is posted.
- Backups: residual copies in our encrypted backups are purged within the normal backup-rotation cycle (up to ~30 days).
- Legal / security records: we keep limited records longer only where required for legal, security, or accounting reasons.
