Delete your FoundBound data
Updated 29 October 2026 · Website, Android and iPhone/iPad
How to delete data depends on whether it is stored on your device, in your web browser, or in an online FoundBound account.
1. iPhone and iPad — local evidence
- Open the native FoundBound app.
- Go to Account & Privacy.
- Tap Delete all local evidence and confirm. Individual project deletion is also available in the Projects area.
The current iOS edition does not automatically upload projects or synchronise with an online FoundBound account. Removing app data from your device does not remove any exported PDFs, Word documents or copies you have shared to Files, email or other services. If the app has already been uninstalled, local app storage is normally removed by the operating system; check separately for exported documents and backups.
2. Website — delete saved online cases
- Sign in to the FoundBound website.
- Open My saved timelines or choose the saved case to remove.
- Select the case's Delete control and confirm.
- Repeat for other cases you want removed.
The web case-deletion function removes the selected active case and its associated events and photo records, including stored album copies referenced by that case. Your online account remains active. Any exported or shared files are outside that deletion.
3. Website or connected Android features — temporary/local information
Evidence prepared without signing in may exist only in browser or app working storage. Closing a page or clearing browser site data can remove unsaved local information; clear the FoundBound site data using your browser's settings when appropriate. If using the Android app, you can also use its available local-storage controls or Android's app storage settings. Clearing app data or uninstalling may permanently remove unsaved work, so export what you need first.
Important: clearing browser data or uninstalling Android does not delete cases that you previously saved to an online FoundBound account. Delete those separately as described above.
4. Delete the entire online account
To delete your login and associated saved online case content, go to Delete your FoundBound account. The existing website deactivation feature schedules a 90-day purge but does not immediately delete the account. The account-deletion page provides a separate permanent deletion pathway.
5. Request assistance without the app
If you cannot access your online account, email mail@foundbound.net from your registered address with the subject FoundBound data deletion request. Describe which saved cases or account data you want removed. Do not send sensitive evidence files or passwords by email. We may ask you to verify account ownership.
6. Retention limitations
Limited audit/security records, operational records and provider-managed backups may be retained where legitimate and necessary, subject to applicable law and normal retention processes. Deleted data cannot be retrieved from FoundBound once permanently removed from active systems, but FoundBound cannot delete copies already downloaded or transferred to other services.
