Smaki
Data Deletion Request
Effective date: 28 August 2026
Smaki keeps almost everything on your device already. This page covers the small amount of data our server holds, and how to have it deleted.
What lives only on your device
Your pantry, recipes, shopping lists, and settings are stored locally and never touch our server on their own. You control this data directly:
- Open Smaki → Settings → Delete all my data to erase everything the App stores, instantly, on that device.
- Uninstalling the App removes the same local data.
How to request deletion of server-side data
Two things live on our server, tied to the anonymous install identifier your device generates on first launch — never your name, email, or Apple/Google account:
- Your credit balance.
- Any recipe or shopping list you deliberately shared, plus its photo if it had one.
To request deletion of this data:
- Email smaki.support@gmail.com from any address, with the subject line "Delete my Smaki data".
- If you can, include the anonymous install identifier shown in Smaki → Settings → About. It lets us find your record without asking for anything else.
- We delete the server-side credit balance tied to that identifier and confirm by email, within 30 days.
What gets deleted and what's retained automatically
- Credit balance — deleted on request, as above.
- Shared recipes and shopping lists — a shared link and its copy on our server (photo included) expire and are deleted automatically 90 days after you created it, whether or not you send a deletion request.
- Local data (pantry, recipes, shopping lists, settings) — never sent to our server in the first place, so there's nothing to delete there; use Settings → "Delete all my data" or uninstall the App as described above.
