What deletion does — and what it doesn't

Your BowlersDash account record lives in exactly two places: on your device, and in your own private iCloud. We keep no copy — BowlersDash does not operate an account server, so we can't look your account up and there is nothing on our side for us to delete. Deleting the account removes that record from your device immediately, and from your other signed-in devices as soon as iCloud syncs.

Your leagues are not deleted. Deleting your account removes the account record, not the league, team, bowler, score, and payment data you entered — that stays on your device so the leagues you run survive. Clearing it is a separate step, below. Feedback you sent through the app is submitted anonymously and carries no account identifier, so it isn't tied to your account and isn't part of this deletion. See our Privacy Policy for the full data-flow picture.

Delete your account in the app

This is the whole deletion process. It takes about ten seconds.

  1. Open the BowlersDash app.
  2. Go to the Settings tab (the gear icon).
  3. Tap Account.
  4. Tap Delete Account.
  5. Confirm in the dialog that appears.

The account record is deleted on the spot, and the app forgets the Apple sign-in identifier it had stored for you. You're returned to using the app as a guest, with your leagues intact. If iCloud sync is on, the deletion travels to your other signed-in devices the same way any other change does. Nothing is queued and nothing is pending — when the confirmation dismisses, it's done.

If the deletion can't be saved for any reason, the app tells you so and leaves the account exactly as it was, rather than reporting a success it didn't achieve.

If you've already deleted the app

There's no email request to send, and that's not us being unhelpful — it's the consequence of not having an account server. We hold no copy of your identifier, email, or name, so an email from you can't be matched to an account, and there's no record on our side to remove. Everything that exists is already under your control:

  1. Deleting the app removed the on-device copy of your account record along with the rest of the app's local data.
  2. Clear the iCloud copy if you had sync on — see the next section. That's the step that removes the last copy.
  3. Revoke Sign in with Apple if you want the sign-in connection gone too — see below.

Questions are welcome at privacy@cometinnovations.com and we answer every message — we just want to be straight that we can't delete something we never had.

Clearing your local and iCloud data

Your league data and the private iCloud copy are yours, not ours, so removing them is a separate step you control:

  1. Delete the app (iPhone/iPad): press and hold the BowlersDash icon → Remove App → Delete App. This removes all local data.
  2. Delete the app (Mac): open your Applications folder and move BowlersDash to the Trash, then empty it.
  3. Clear iCloud data: Settings → tap your name at the top → iCloud → Manage Account Storage → BowlersDash → Delete Data from iCloud. On a Mac, the same controls live in System Settings → your name → iCloud.

Deleting the app without clearing iCloud data leaves the iCloud copy in place — which is what lets you reinstall and pick up where you left off. Do both if you want everything gone.

Revoking Sign in with Apple

Signing in used Apple's Sign in with Apple. That connection is held by Apple, not by us, so deleting your BowlersDash account can't revoke it from our side. You can revoke it yourself at any time: open Settings, tap your name at the top, then Sign-In & Security, find the list of apps using your Apple Account, choose BowlersDash, and stop using it. (Apple's exact wording for these screens varies by OS version.)

What's left afterward

  • On our side — nothing that identifies you. We don't operate an account server, we don't run analytics, and we hold no account records, so there is nothing for us to keep, publish, or hand over.
  • Anonymous feedback, if you sent any. Feedback submitted through the app carries no account identifier and isn't linked to you, so deleting your account neither removes it nor needs to. It's the only thing we store, and it's also the only thing a legal request could ever reach — it doesn't identify you. See 2.6 In-app feedback.
  • On Apple's side — your Sign in with Apple connection, until you revoke it as described above. That one is between you and Apple.
