Account & data deletion
Last updated: 2026-08-30
Two ways to delete your account
GhostTrace lets you delete your account and all associated data at any time, either directly from the mobile app (recommended) or by emailing our support team if you no longer have access to the app.
Option 1 — From the mobile app
Open GhostTrace. Tap the profile icon at the top right of the Flights screen, then Account, then Delete Account, and confirm. Your account, your flights, your drones and your profile are erased right away, on your phone and on our servers. The flight files the App had uploaded are erased too.
Option 2 — By email
If you no longer have access to the app or your device, send a deletion request to privacy@ghosttracefpv.com from the email address linked to your account. To prevent abuse we may ask for an additional element to confirm ownership (for example, the approximate creation date of the account). Email-based deletion requests are processed within 30 days; you will receive a confirmation when the deletion is complete.
What gets deleted
Pilot profile (callsign, settings, preferences). All flight sessions you recorded or imported, including telemetry samples, GPS tracks and detected events. Drone hangar entries (specs, motor / battery / receiver details, custom names). Authentication records linked to your account (email, hashed password, OAuth identifiers). Files we cached in our object storage on your behalf (flight sample blobs).
What we keep — and why
Statistics and crash reports: Amplitude and Google keep them under their own rules. We use them to improve the App. Our server logs (IP addresses, times) and our host's backups: a copy may stay there for a while. We never bring a deleted account back. Records that French or European law requires us to keep (for example invoicing data if you ever buy an in-app subscription) — kept for the legally mandated retention period.
Effect on the app on your device
Deleting your account from within the app also wipes the local database (flight sessions, drones, cached data) and signs you out. After deletion you can keep using the app in guest mode, or create a new account at any time — but the previous account and its data are not recoverable.
