Account & Data

How to delete your DTX account

You can delete your DTX account and the personal data associated with it at any time, directly from the app. Because DTX is built on accountability, deleting your account — just like signing out — is partner-approved while a block is active, so it can never be used as a shortcut out of a commitment you've made.

  1. Open your Profile

    In the DTX app, tap your profile icon to open the Profile screen.

  2. Tap Delete Account

    Scroll to the Settings section and tap Delete Account, below the Sign Out option.

  3. Partner approval (if you have an active block)

    If a block is active or you have a connected partner, your deletion request is sent to your accountability partner for approval. They're notified instantly and can approve or deny it — exactly like an early unblock request. With no active blocks, deletion proceeds straight away.

  4. Confirm and delete

    Once approved, confirm the deletion. Your account and associated data are then permanently removed. This action cannot be undone.

The Profile screen, with Sign Out and Delete Account both gated by partner approval during an active block.

Why deletion is partner-approved

DTX's entire promise is that a block can't be bypassed in a weak moment. If you could simply sign out or delete your account whenever the urge struck, that would be the easiest bypass of all — and the commitment you made would mean nothing.

So while a block is active, both signing out and deleting your account require your accountability partner's approval, in the same way an early unblock does. The moment you have no active blocks, you're free to sign out or delete your account on your own, with no approval needed.

This protects you, not us

Partner approval exists so the version of you that set the block stays in control — not the version that's looking for a way out. It's the same principle that makes DTX work in the first place.

What gets deleted

When your deletion is confirmed, we permanently remove the personal data tied to your account, including:

Usage insightsScreen-time statistics and most-used-app data

Timing & retention

Can't access the app?

If you've lost access to your device and can't delete your account from within DTX, you can request deletion by email instead. We'll verify your identity against your registered account before processing.

Email us to request deletion

Send a message from your registered email address to privacy@digitalwellbeingtechnologies.com with the subject line "Account Deletion Request".

We aim to action verified requests within 30 days. Note that if you have an active block, we may need to confirm with your accountability partner before completing deletion.

That's everything.
