Word Herd — Delete Your Account

Last updated: September 2026

This page explains how to request deletion of your Word Herd account and the data associated with it. Word Herd is a solo-developer app (Trevor Corbin) and requests are handled manually — see the steps below.

How to request deletion

Email trvr.word.herd@gmail.com with the subject line "Delete my account".
Include your in-app friend code (Profile tab → your code) or the display name you play under, so your account can be located. If you signed in with Google, include that Google account's email too.
You'll get a confirmation reply once the account and its data have been deleted — typically within a few days, and no later than 30 days from your request.

What gets deleted

Your account itself (Firebase Authentication record — anonymous or linked Google).
Your profile: display name, avatar, coins, owned cosmetic items, entitlements.
Your game stats and history: scores, streaks, saved dictionaries.
Your social data: friend list, friend code, pending friend requests and match invites.
Any multiplayer match or room you're currently part of that hasn't finished yet.

What may not be immediately removed

Completed multiplayer matches involving other players — a finished match or room already stores a copy of your display name/avatar alongside the other player's result. Rather than corrupting another player's match history, these copies age out naturally under the app's existing data-retention schedule (typically within a couple of weeks of the match ending) instead of being rewritten immediately on deletion.
Anonymized analytics and crash diagnostics (Firebase Analytics, Crashlytics, Performance Monitoring) are not tied to your display name or email and are not individually retrievable or deletable per-account — they're aggregate, device-level data used to understand app usage and stability.
Play Store purchase records are retained by Google as required for its own billing, tax, and refund obligations, independent of your Word Herd account.
