What happens to photos, messages, and verification records when you delete your JoinTheSwing account?
Deleting your JoinTheSwing account removes your public or discreet member profile, uploaded gallery and private-album photos, and stored account media, erases any legacy photos from our retired in-house verification pass, and closes platform access while leaving native App Store or Google Play billing to cancel in device settings.
Privacy-conscious adults deserve a clear exit path before they ever join a community. Whether a couple moves back to strict monogamy, relocates for a sensitive role, or simply finishes exploring, you can initiate account deletion directly through the self-serve or support paths documented at /legal/account-deletion.
From the current Veriff check, JoinTheSwing never receives or stores your government-ID images, live selfie video, or biometric face templates — prior to deletion we retain the verification result, Veriff's session reference, a consent receipt, and non-biometric review metadata, while Veriff's own privacy and retention terms govern processor-side records. Members who verified through our earlier, retired in-house pass may still have ID, selfie, or couple photos in our private verification_documents storage, deleted when the account is deleted, and nothing writes to that retired store today (see /legal/privacy).
When account deletion completes, your profile card disappears from member discovery, gated private-album grants terminate, and photos uploaded to your profile or private albums are purged from active platform storage subject only to narrow legal, fraud-prevention, or backup-lifecycle obligations described in /legal/privacy.
Remember that deleting a JoinTheSwing account does not automatically cancel an external Apple or Google subscription contract, because Apple and Google control native store billing directly. Cancel any recurring renewal in iOS Settings (StoreKit 2) or Google Play Billing on Android before or alongside your /legal/account-deletion request.
