Delete your data
Last updated: 16 September 2026
Everything Avert keeps about your filter, including your rules, custom lists, blocked apps, the activity list, the lock and its waiting changes, and your settings, is stored only on your device. Uninstalling the app removes it. You can also erase it from inside the app under Profile, Delete my data.
Data reaches our servers only if you connect a partner, if you write to us through the in-app support, or if you open the invite screen or use an invite code. Here is how to remove each of these.
Delete it in the app (instant)
- Open Avert and go to the Profile tab.
- Open Delete my data.
- Tap Delete everything and confirm.
This removes your rules, your activity list, the lock and your settings from the phone, and if you ever connected a partner, your anonymous account, your name, your state signals, your change requests and your push token from our server, immediately. It cannot be undone. The three protection layers stay switched on; turning them off is the lock’s business.
Request deletion (if you no longer have the app)
Write to clearpointstudios@proton.me with the subject Avert data deletion. Include whatever you still have of these, so we can find your records:
- Your partner code or the name you used on the partner card
- Your invite code, if you used the invite screen
- The email address or the date of your support conversation, if you wrote to us
We delete the matching records within 30 days and confirm by email. Without any of the above we cannot match a request to a record, because the app holds no email address and no account name for you.
What gets deleted
- Partner data: your anonymous account, your name, the six state signals, change requests and decisions, the partner link, and your push token.
- Support: the conversation and every message in it, the app version and device model attached to it, and the push token used for replies.
- Invites: your invite code and the hash of your device identifier.
Deletion happens on the server itself, and backups are overwritten within 30 days.
What is never on our servers
Your rules, your activity list, blocked addresses, search terms, app names, the lock and its settings. None of this is ever uploaded, so there is nothing of it to delete on our side. It lives only on your phone and goes with the app.
What we cannot delete for you
- Purchases: the transaction sits under your Google account. RevenueCat keeps the anonymous app user identifier and entitlement status according to its own policy, see revenuecat.com/privacy.
- DNS lookups at Cloudflare’s family resolver, which we never receive. See Cloudflare’s resolver policy.
