Delete your account
You can delete your REC'D BY account yourself, any time, from inside the app. Here's how, and what happens when you do.
Last updated: September 17, 2026
How to delete your account
- Sign in to REC'D BY at recdby.app/login (families) or recdby.app/sitter/login (sitters).
- Open the menu (☰) and choose Settings.
- Scroll to Delete account, type your household or profile name to confirm, and choose Delete.
Your account is closed immediately and you are signed out.
What is deleted
- Your login and profile (name, photo, email, phone).
- For a family: the household and its kid, pet and place profiles, sitters you added, private notes, messages and calendar — unless another member of your household still has an account, in which case the household stays with them and only your own profile is removed.
- For a sitter: your profile, availability, rate card, private notes, hours and expenses.
What is kept
Some records are retained where the law or safety requires it, for a limited time: payment and payout records, records of reports or safety concerns, and information needed to resolve a dispute. Where a sitter was recommended or booked by more than one family, that family's own record of the recommendation is theirs and stays with them. See section 9 of the Privacy Policy.
Signed in with Facebook or Google?
Removing REC'D BY from your Facebook or Google account settings only disconnects that way of signing in — it does not delete your REC'D BY account, so a family never loses their household by tidying a login. To delete the account itself, use the steps above.
Can't sign in?
Send us a note through the contact form from the email address on your account and ask us to delete it. We'll confirm it's you and take care of it within 30 days.
