Delete Account and Data
How to delete your Route & Fuel account and request removal of associated app data.
1. Overview
This page explains how users of Route & Fuel UK / Fuel Finder can request account deletion and what happens to associated data.
If you signed in with Google or Apple, you can delete your account and associated in-app data directly from the app.
2. Delete in app
- Open Settings.
- Go to Account.
- Tap Delete account.
- Confirm the deletion prompt.
3. Delete without app access
If you cannot access the app, email support@routeandfuel.co.uk from the email linked to your account and use the subject line Delete account request. We may ask for limited verification to prevent unauthorised deletion requests.
4. Data deleted with account deletion
When deletion is processed, we delete account-linked data stored by our app backend, including account profile records, authentication-linked app user ID, saved preferences, favourites, vehicles, journeys, fill-ups, location-linked saved content, price alerts and push notification tokens. Data stored locally on your device is also removed by the in-app delete flow.
5. Data kept temporarily
Some limited records may be retained for security, fraud prevention, legal and disaster-recovery purposes. Request/security logs are normally retained with TTL up to 14 days, daily traffic-quota counters until TTL expiry, and some backups can retain deleted records for up to 35 days. We do not retain continuous background GPS history as a server dataset.
6. Partial deletion options
Without deleting your full account, you can remove certain data in app, such as individual journeys, vehicles, fill-ups and alerts, or contact support to request deletion of specific account data.
7. Processing timeline
In-app deletion requests are processed immediately after successful request validation. Any retained backup/log data then expires on its configured retention schedule.
