Delete your Chessvera account

How to delete a Chessvera account and its data. Chessvera is made by Isaac Smith Labs. You don't need an account to use Chessvera; if you never created one, there is nothing on our server to delete.

In the app (fastest)

  1. Open Chessvera and make sure you are signed in.
  2. On the Home tab, tap the profile button (top right), then tap your username.
    Or: Progress tab, then the row with your username.
  3. Scroll down and tap Delete account.
  4. Tap Delete permanently to confirm.

The account is deleted from our server straight away and every device is signed out. If you used Sign in with Apple, the app asks Apple once more so we can also revoke Chessvera's access to your Apple ID.

By email (without the app)

Email support@chessvera.com with the subject "Delete my Chessvera account" and your username. Writing from the email address confirmed on the account is the quickest way to show it is yours. If the account has no confirmed email, we may ask you to prove it is yours in another way, for example by signing in once. We delete the account within 30 days, usually much sooner, and reply to confirm.

Please don't send your password.

What is deleted

  • Your username, password hash and every sign-in session.
  • Your optional email address and first name, and any email codes.
  • Linked sign-in methods (Apple, Google, Lichess) and your linked Lichess username.
  • Rated games against the bots and your ratings.
  • Puzzle Rush scores and best scores.
  • Friends and friend requests, challenges, and online games you played (including the opponent's copy of those games).
  • Your Supporter flag and badge setting.

What is kept: nothing is kept on purpose. Nightly server backups are kept for up to 7 days, so deleted data is gone from backups within 8 days.

Data on your phone

Games, reviews, puzzles, progress and settings saved on your phone are not on our server, and deleting the account does not touch them. Uninstalling the app deletes them. Pro belongs to your Apple or Google account, not to your Chessvera account, so you can still restore Pro after deleting the account.

Lichess and Chess.com

  • If you signed in with Lichess, its access token is stored only on your phone. Use Sign out of Lichess in the app, or revoke Chessvera's access in your Lichess account security settings. Your Lichess account itself is managed by Lichess.
  • A Chess.com username you added is stored only on your phone. Unlink it in the app or uninstall the app.
