Delete your account
This is for accounts in The Field: Telepathy & ESP. You can delete yours from inside the app, and you can ask us to do it from here without installing anything.
The quickest way is in the app
Open Your Field and tap Delete my account. You’ll be asked to confirm. Deletion starts at once, and nothing here needs to happen as well.
What deletion removes
The account itself, your email address, your username, your date of birth, your profile picture, your password and any recovery codes. Every practice record kept on your phone goes with them.
Your practice sessions and their trials, your Field Notes and your Seed answers, on our servers. A job sweeps for deleted accounts and takes them, and it repeats until nothing is left, so a request can’t be quietly lost.
Sessions you consented to contribute to the research and that were already sealed. They stay in the aggregate under a research pseudonym. Its link to your account is cut when the account is deleted, so what stays carries no name or email.
We keep the consented research sessions on purpose. A record people could prune by deleting their misses after the fact would not be evidence of anything. The aggregate holds numbers, never names.
Ask us to delete it
Use this if you no longer have the app. We will email the address you give us to confirm the request is really yours before deleting anything, so use the address the account was made with.
If yours is one of the early accounts made with a name and recovery codes instead of an email address, this form can’t help you. We’d have no way to tell that the account is yours. The button inside the app is the only route, and it’s the right one.
You can also write to hello@thetelepathycenter.com from the address on the account.
Website accounts
Accounts for The Field on the web, at thetelepathycenter.com/field, are separate from app accounts. If you hold one, ask us here and say so, and we’ll delete it the same way. If it has no email address, write to us with its username and we’ll work out with you how to confirm it’s yours. A practitioner application is separate again. Ask, and we’ll delete that too.
Our privacy policy sets out everything we hold and why.
