What gets deleted

04

What stays

In shared families that continue to exist, content such as birthdays, events, notices, shopping items, contacts and meals may remain available to other members.

Your personal identity is removed from those records wherever possible, and content is retained to prevent disruption to the remaining family members.

05

Retention & backups

Active systems: Data is removed from active systems immediately after confirmation, or within 7 business days for email requests.

Backups: Disaster recovery backups are retained for up to 30 days before deleted data is fully purged.

Crash logs: Diagnostic reports processed by Sentry follow a 90-day retention period before removal.

Legal obligations: We may retain minimal deletion records where required by law, accounting requirements or fraud prevention measures.

06

Active subscriptions

Premium subscriptions must be cancelled through the Apple App Store or Google Play.

Nest does not manage billing directly and cannot cancel subscriptions on your behalf.

Deleting your account does not automatically stop future billing.
