Delete Your StewReads Account or Data

Sign in with Apple

StewReads revokes Apple authorization when deleting an Apple-linked account. If Apple is temporarily unavailable, your account stays intact and you can retry deletion. For older accounts where an Apple token was not retained, your StewReads account is still deleted and we show instructions to manage Sign in with Apple and remove StewReads access manually. Manual revocation is not required to delete your StewReads data.

Data Deleted

When you delete an individual saved item, StewReads removes that library item and its recorded storage files. When full account deletion succeeds, StewReads removes your account and its owned records from the active service, including:

• Account profile information received from your sign-in provider, including email, name, and profile image URL
• Saved preferences, including delivery email, Kindle email, interests, auto-send settings, and private podcast feed token
• Saved ebooks, coding contexts, generated source files, metadata, audiobook files, and other StewReads storage artifacts
• Authentication sessions, OAuth identities, OAuth tokens, and Google Drive backup connection metadata stored by StewReads
• Generation jobs, delivery attempts, campaign recipient records, linked MCP diagnostics, backup run metadata, and feedback associated with your account
• The independently opted-in newsletter subscription using the same account email; other addresses require a separate unsubscribe request

Data Kept or Outside StewReads Control

Some copies and records have separate owners or retention periods:

• Ebooks already delivered to Kindle, email inboxes, e-reader apps, or downloaded devices
• Files already backed up to your own Google Drive account
• Copies another person saved into their own StewReads library, and copies retained by third-party services under their own retention policies
• Email deliveries already submitted to the provider cannot be recalled
• Restricted recovery copies for 7 days, encrypted database backups for about 8 days, service logs for 30 days, and separate Google Cloud infrastructure audit logs for 400 days
• Specific records we must keep longer when the law requires it or to resolve a dispute, limited to what is necessary for that purpose

Retention Period

Your account and associated active records are removed when account deletion succeeds. Restricted recovery and operational copies follow the limits above. Routine diagnostic cleanup uses a 30-day limit and operational delivery/support history uses a 90-day limit, normally completed by daily cleanup within another 24 hours. Postmark message activity expires after 45 days, with provider deletion processing afterward; minimal suppression records remain to honor opt-outs. Encrypted database backups normally age out within 8 days, and manual maintenance backups are deleted within 30 days. Read the full retention schedule for details.
