🌍 Delete Account

GeoMania — geography quiz app
Last updated: September 2026

You can delete your GeoMania account at any time, yourself, right inside the app — no need to ask us. This page explains how to do it and what happens when you do.

1. Deleting in the app

Open GeoMania and tap Profile at the bottom.
Open Settings in the top right.
Choose “Delete account” at the very bottom.
Confirm twice: first “Continue”, then “Delete permanently”.

Deletion takes effect immediately and cannot be undone. You are returned to the sign-in screen afterwards.

One note in case the app asks you to sign in again: for security reasons, Firebase only allows an account to be deleted shortly after a sign-in. If your last sign-in was a while ago, sign out once and back in — deletion will then go through.

2. What gets deleted

Data	When
Your sign-in — the Firebase Authentication account including user ID and email address	immediately
Your display name — including its reservation; the name becomes available to others again	immediately
Your cloud progress backup — learning path, stars, badges, streaks, records, portfolio holdings	immediately
Your progress on this device — everything that otherwise syncs with the cloud	immediately
Your leaderboard entries — name, score, avatar and badges in every daily leaderboard and in the portfolio all-time ranking	immediately

All of it goes at the same moment. No part of it lingers — your name disappears from the leaderboards other players see as soon as you delete.

3. What is kept

Nothing. We keep no copy, no archive and no backup of your data once it is deleted. There is no recovery and no grace period after which anything would come back.

The only things left on the phone are your device settings: sound, vibration, language and scheduled reminders. They belong to the device rather than the account and contain no personal data whatsoever. Uninstalling the app removes those as well.

4. Deletion without access to the app

Can’t get into the app any more — lost device, locked account, app already uninstalled? Then we will handle the deletion for you.

Send an email to northlightapps@gmx.at with the subject “Delete account”. Please tell us the email address or the display name you played under, so we can identify the account.

We will delete your account and all associated data within 14 days of receiving your message, and confirm the deletion in a reply.

5. Further information

For what data GeoMania collects in the first place, where it is stored and what other rights you have, see the Privacy Policy.
