Delete Your Account and Data
For the Android game Ghast Tap (com.ghasttap.game).
Last updated: 2 September 2026
Delete your account from inside the game
This is the fastest route and it takes effect at once.
- Open Ghast Tap and sign in if you are not already
- Tap Settings from the main menu
- Scroll to Account
- Tap Delete account, then confirm
Your saved progress is removed from the server, your account is closed, and the copy on your phone is cleared in the same step.
Delete your account without the app
If you have uninstalled the game or lost the device, email ghasttap@devjarda.com with the subject line "Delete my account", from the email address the account uses. That address is how the account is identified, so a request sent from another one cannot be acted on.
Requests are completed within 30 days and confirmed by reply.
Delete the copies held on your own device
1. The game's storage on your phone. Deleting your account already clears this. To remove it on its own — for example if you only want to sign out of this handset:
- Open your device Settings
- Go to Apps → Ghast Tap
- Tap Storage → Clear storage
Uninstalling has the same effect. Note that neither one deletes your account — signing in again brings your progress back.
2. Your Android app backup. Android backs up app data for most apps installed from Google Play, and Ghast Tap takes part in this. This copy survives uninstalling the game, so it has to be removed separately:
- Open your device Settings
- Go to Google → Backup → Device backups
- Delete the backup, or turn backup off for Ghast Tap
3. The game's access to your Google account, if you signed in with Google. Deleting your account already ends it, but you can also revoke it directly at your Google account permissions page. Ghast Tap only ever asks Google to confirm who you are; it has no access to your Drive, your files or anything else.
What is deleted, and what is kept
| Data | Where it lives | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| Your email address, and your password if you made an account with one | Google Firebase Authentication | Deleted immediately when you delete your account. The password is only ever held hashed and is never visible to the developer. |
| Game progress, high scores, XP and level, owned items, currency balances, spare lives, achievements, statistics, settings and your profile name | Google Firebase (Cloud Firestore), as one record attached to your account | Deleted immediately when you delete your account. Nothing is retained and there is no grace period or archive. |
| Your name, best score and equipped ghost on the world leaderboard | Google Firebase (Cloud Firestore), and visible to other players | Removed immediately when you delete your account — both your entry and your place on the public boards. You can also take yourself off the boards without deleting anything, in the game under Settings → Account → Hide me from the world board; your scores keep counting and your rank is held for you. |
| The same progress data, on the phone itself | Your device | Deleted when you delete your account, clear storage or uninstall the app. |
| The same progress data, as an Android app backup | Your own Google account backup storage | Deleted when you remove it in device settings. Created and held by Android, never by the developer, and not removed by deleting your account. |
| Purchase records for any in-app purchases | Google Play, and RevenueCat as purchase verification provider | Retained. These are transaction records that Google and RevenueCat must keep to meet tax, accounting and consumer protection obligations, typically for 7 years. They cannot be deleted on request, and this is not specific to this app. |
Purchase records are the only thing that cannot be deleted on request, and they are not held by the developer. See Google's privacy policy, Firebase's privacy information and RevenueCat's privacy policy.
