TeachVault Account Deletion

Delete your account (in-app)

If you signed in to TeachVault (Google / Email), you can delete your account directly from the app:

Open TeachVault
Go to Settings
Scroll to Advanced Data Control
Tap Delete Account and confirm

Guest mode: If you are using TeachVault without signing in, there is no cloud account to delete. You can still remove local database records and TeachVault-managed photos using Clear Local Records & Photos (see "Data Deletion").

What gets deleted

Your TeachVault account (authentication credentials)
TeachVault-managed cloud data (where covered by the verified server cleanup)
Covered TeachVault-managed cloud records and backups associated with your account
Local database records, app preferences, TeachVault-managed student photos, and TeachVault-managed attendance-evidence photos on this phone, and this account's security material on this phone, as part of the deletion flow
All classes, students, attendance records, tags, badges, and notes
Local device-binding records (for QR attendance), stored in the local database
TeachVault-managed attendance-evidence photos (if Photo Evidence was used)
Temporary database copies that TeachVault makes during a restore and can link to this account. They are cleared with the local database records, also when the cloud account is kept.
Only after the account deletion is confirmed: this account's app-managed backups on this phone that TeachVault can verify belong solely to this account, and this account's backup key on this phone

What is kept on this phone

Other accounts' and Guest backups on this phone
The keys that Guest and other accounts on this phone use. They are always kept.
Backups whose owner TeachVault cannot verify
This account's backups and backup key, if the account deletion is not confirmed or TeachVault cannot confirm which account is being deleted
Copies of the database that TeachVault cannot link to this account, such as the copies earlier versions kept after every restore, are kept. Uninstalling the app (or Android Clear storage) removes them.
The app's device identifier on this phone, used for QR attendance checks. It is not tied to one account.

Outside this flow: Exported/imported documents remain until you delete them separately. Backups or exports in your own Google Drive, iCloud, OneDrive, Files, or another provider account may remain and must be deleted with that provider. Exported or shared backup files are not removed by the app either. Backups of the whole phone made by the device (for example iCloud Backup or a computer backup) are not removed by the app. Provider retention can also apply.

Limits: Older-format (v1) backup files, and shared or legacy keys kept on this phone for Guest or other accounts, may still allow some copies to be opened, so account deletion does not make every copy unreadable. A backup key that an earlier version of TeachVault removed from this phone cannot be recreated; restoring an older backup needs its original key. The Privacy Policy (section 8, Data Retention) states these limits.

Timeline

Immediate: Account is disabled and you are signed out
Deletion flow: TeachVault-managed account content and direct profile data are removed and verified before the app reports completion

Minimal security marker retained: TeachVault retains the Firebase account UID and cryptographic hashes of the account email/recovery credentials only to stop delayed services from recreating deleted records or restoring old email-based access. It contains no raw email, name, class, student, attendance, backup content, or uploaded file.

Before you delete

Consider these steps before deleting your account:

Export your data: Use TeachVault Reports to export the attendance records you need
Download reports: Export any reports you need (CSV, Excel, PDF)
Check cloud backups: Open Settings → Backup & Restore → Backup History and download anything you need first
