You can delete your Argentum News account and the data associated with it at any time, from inside the app. This page explains how, what gets deleted, and what does not.
How to delete your account
In the app — available now, on iPhone and Android:
- Open Settings.
- Under your account, tap Delete account.
- Confirm in the dialog (Delete permanently).
Deletion runs immediately: your data is removed and your account is gone before the app signs you out. There is no waiting period and nothing to confirm by email.
If you cannot open the app — for example you lost the device, or you can no longer sign in — write to support@argentumhq.com from the email address you registered with, with the subject “Delete my Argentum account”. We may reply once to confirm it is you — we will never ask for your password — and we complete the deletion within 30 days. That 30-day ceiling applies only to this manual route; the in-app one is immediate.
What is deleted
Everything below is removed by the in-app deletion, in one operation:
- Your account itself (login email and credentials).
- The link between your account and Google or Apple, if you signed in with either — including the name and address the provider gave us.
- Your portfolio holdings and their change history.
- Your watchlist.
- Your preferences: market filters, investor profile, and notification settings.
- Your push-notification registration tokens.
- Our record linking your account to a subscription.
- Your app usage records: the daily count of AI summaries used, and the record of which articles you opened a summary for.
What is not deleted
- AI interaction records. Every use of the AI assistant writes a row recording the kind of interaction, the news item and its headline, the language, your account identifier and/or the installation identifier, and the symbols in your portfolio and watchlist along with your risk profile and time horizon. It never contains the text of your questions, the assistant’s answers, or the quantities you own. These rows are append-only, have no expiry today, and are not removed when you delete your account. We are telling you this plainly instead of listing a deletion we have not built. Section 2 of the privacy policy describes them in full, and if you want them removed, write to the address above and we will do it by hand.
- Purchase and billing records held by Apple, Google Play and our payments processor (RevenueCat) are governed by their policies and by tax/accounting law. Deleting your Argentum account does not cancel an active subscription — cancel it yourself in Apple subscriptions (iPhone) or Play subscriptions (Android).
- Cached article summaries. The AI summary of a news item is stored per article and language so the next reader does not pay for a second generation. It is about the article, carries no account identifier, and is not yours to delete.
- Error reports already sent to our monitoring provider (Sentry) follow its own retention schedule. They carry your account identifier but no financial data, email or name.
- Device-local data (offline cache, signed-out settings, the installation identifier) lives only on your device — uninstalling the app or clearing its storage removes it.
- Minimal records we are legally required to keep, for no longer than required.
