This page lets users request deletion of their SmartBuddy account and associated data without installing the app, as required by Google Play and similar store policies.
This page provides a request channel and disclosure. After you submit a request, we will verify your identity and process deletion. The page itself does not instantly delete your account on click.
Important: Account deletion is irreversible. After deletion, you will no longer be able to sign in with that account, and learning/answer data associated with it generally cannot be recovered.
