Step-by-Step Guide
Open the HER app and access your profile
Launch the HER app on your mobile device and tap your profile picture or the profile icon at the bottom right of the screen. This will take you to your profile page where you can access account settings.
Tips
- •Ensure you're using the latest version of the HER app for the most current interface
- •If you can't log in, use the forgot password feature first
- •Consider downloading your data or saving important conversations before deletion
Navigate to Settings
From your profile page, tap the gear icon or 'Settings' button, typically located in the top-right corner. This will open the Settings menu where you can manage your account preferences and privacy options.
Tips
- •The Settings icon is usually a gear or three dots
- •On some app versions, you may need to scroll to find additional options
Access Account Management
Scroll down in the Settings menu until you find 'Account' or 'Account Settings'. Tap on it to access account management options. Look for 'Delete Account' or 'Delete My Account' option, which is typically at the bottom of the account settings page.
Tips
- •The delete option may be at the very bottom of the settings page

Alternatives to Consider
Pause Your Profile Instead of Deleting
HER offers a 'Snooze' or 'Pause' feature that temporarily hides your profile from other users while keeping your account and data intact. Access this through Settings > Account > Snooze Profile. This makes you invisible to others while preserving all your information.
Pros
- •Fully reversible - reactivate your profile anytime
- •Keeps all your messages, photos, and community connections
- •Maintains your HER Premium benefits if you have an active subscription
Cons
- •Your data remains on HER's servers
- •You'll still receive email notifications unless you adjust settings
- •Your account can still be accessed if someone has your credentials
Remove Personal Information Only
Instead of full deletion, remove identifying information from your profile while keeping your account active. Delete profile photos, clear your bio, remove pronoun information, and disable location sharing. This reduces your digital footprint while maintaining access to HER's community features.
Pros
- •Keeps your account for future use
- •Preserves message history and connections
- •You can still access community events and resources
Cons
- •Doesn't fully remove your data from HER's servers
- •Your account still exists in the system
- •Requires manual removal of each piece of information
Submit GDPR/CCPA Data Deletion Request
If you're in the EU, UK, or California, you have enhanced privacy rights under GDPR or CCPA. You can submit a formal data deletion request to HER's privacy team by contacting support@weareher.com. This may provide more comprehensive data removal than standard account deletion.
Pros
- •Legally binding data deletion obligations
- •More comprehensive removal including third-party shared data where possible
- •Provides confirmation of complete data erasure
Cons
- •Only available in certain jurisdictions (EU, UK, California, etc.)
- •Takes 30-45 days to complete the full process
- •Requires identity verification
Frequently Asked Questions
