You can permanently delete your ShouldApply account and associated personal data at any time without reinstalling the mobile app. Choose whichever option below is easiest for you.

1. Delete Directly on the Website

  1. Sign in and open Account Settings on shouldapply.com.
  2. Scroll to the account deletion section, type DELETE to confirm, and submit.
  3. Your account, profile, resume text, saved jobs, scores, and saved answers are removed right away.

2. Delete Inside the iOS or Android App

  1. Open the ShouldApply app on iPhone or Android.
  2. Go to the Overview tab or open Settings, then tap Delete account at the bottom.
  3. Type DELETE to confirm permanent removal.

3. Request Deletion by Email (No Sign-In Needed)

If you no longer have access to the app or cannot sign in, email mail@shouldapply.com from the email address registered on your ShouldApply account with the subject line Delete my ShouldApply account. We verify ownership of that email address and complete deletion within 7 business days (and always within 30 days).

What Gets Deleted and Retention Windows

  • Deleted immediately: Your authentication record, profile details, extracted resume text, Apply Kit PDFs, skill ratings, saved screening answers, job pipeline history, fit scores, and notes.
  • Backups and security logs: Encrypted database backups and server security logs age out automatically within 30 to 90 days, as detailed in our Privacy Policy.
  • Billing records: If you purchased a paid plan through Stripe, statutory invoice and tax records required by financial law are retained by Stripe under its retention obligations; active subscriptions are canceled when you delete your account.
