Delete your FBA Scout account
Request deletion of your FBA Scout account and associated data. You do not need an active subscription or the Android app to make a request.
Request deletion by email
Email fbascout@yahoo.com with the subject FBA Scout account deletion request and tell us you want your account and associated data deleted. Preferably use your registered account email. If you have lost access to that email or cannot sign in, explain which access you have lost; we will review an appropriate way to verify ownership.
The compose link opens your email app. It does not send a message or delete your account. Review and send the request yourself. If no mail app opens, use your email website and send to fbascout@yahoo.com. The mailbox is monitored by FBA Scout's operator, Christopher Michael Barrow, trading as FBA Scout.
Never email passwords, Google passwords, recovery/verification codes, purchase tokens or payment-card details. This page does not ask you to enter any credentials. An email's claimed sender address alone is not proof of account ownership. We must verify the request before deleting an account and may ask for proportionate additional information.
If you can sign in to Android
Open Account → Delete account and read the confirmation. Paid membership is not required by the deletion route. If the app cannot complete the request, use the email process above. A connection error or lost response does not prove whether deletion finished; contact us so we can check before claiming success.
What account deletion covers
The account-deletion process covers the authentication user and associated active profile, synchronized research and notes, saved opportunities, preferences, Buy Plans, membership records and stored connection/purchase credentials. We check the result before confirming a manual request as fulfilled. If we cannot confirm completion, we explain what remains outstanding.
Device-local/offline copies on other devices are not immediately erased by a server deletion. Clear FBA Scout storage on those devices if necessary. Uninstalling, signing out, clearing history or cancelling billing is not the same as deleting your cloud account.
Timing and retained information
We handle verified requests under the applicable UK data-protection rules and respond without undue delay, generally within one calendar month, subject to lawful identity-check and extension provisions. This is a response deadline, not a guarantee of instant erasure from every provider log or backup.
Our approved rules retain raw deletion-request correspondence for 90 days after fulfilment and a minimal compliance receipt for 12 months after fulfilment. Temporary identity evidence should be removed when no longer needed for verification. A request closed without verified deletion follows the ordinary support rule of 12 months after closure; we will not describe it as account erasure. Specific unresolved legal obligations or disputes can require restricted minimum records with monthly review.
Provider logs, authentication audit entries and residual backup copies may remain outside active account records. Their complete physical-erasure timing has not been independently established. We will explain known retained information, reasons and any outstanding provider checks in our response. We do not promise immediate erasure of every copy.
Google Play subscriptions
Deleting FBA Scout does not cancel a Google Play subscription or automatically issue a refund. Manage or cancel billing separately through Google Play subscriptions. Deleting FBA Scout does not delete your Google account.
