This page explains how to delete your account in Angler, the fly-fishing app by Cutthroat Innovations, LLC, and what happens to your data. You don’t need to sign in to read it.
Delete your account in the app
The quickest way is in Angler itself:
- Open Angler and go to the You tab.
- Tap Delete account. Angler lists everything that will be deleted.
- If you sign in with an email address and password, enter your password.
- Tap Delete account, then confirm.
- If you sign in with Google or Apple, confirm it’s you with Google or Apple when asked.
Your account is removed and you’re signed out. Linked PostHog analytics deletion is processed separately. If something goes wrong part way, Angler tells you, and you can tap Try again.
If your account signs in with Apple and you use an Android phone, see Signed in with Apple on Android.
What is deleted
- Your Angler account and its sign-in record, so you can no longer sign in with it
- Your profile: name, email and photo
- Every fly in My Flies, with your photos of them
- Your Fly Boxes
- Your trips (fishing sessions): routes, catches, catch photos and notes
- Your linked analytics profile and usage events in PostHog
- Pending trips on this phone are cleared during in-app deletion; copies on other offline devices cannot be removed remotely
If your account signs in with Apple and you delete it in Angler on an iPhone, Angler’s access to your Apple ID is removed too.
Deleting your account can’t be undone. If you use Angler again later, signing up starts a new, empty account.
One deletion policy
The same deletion policy applies in the app and by email.
Your Angler account and associated content are deleted. Deleting your account also deletes your linked analytics profile and usage events from PostHog. Events may remain visible while PostHog processes deletion. Once deletion is complete, we do not retain that linked profile or event history.
Temporary deletion records are kept until completion is verified. Backup copies expire under their retention policy; copies saved on offline devices or exported elsewhere cannot be recalled.
Ask us to delete your account by email
If you can’t use the app, for example because you no longer have it, email info@cutthroatinnovations.com and ask us to delete your Angler account. Please write from the email address your Angler account uses.
How we confirm the account is yours
We never delete an account just because a request came from its email address, because a sender’s address is easy to fake. Instead:
- We find the Angler account that uses the email address in your request.
- We send a confirmation email only to the address registered on that account, whatever address your request came from.
- We delete the account only after you reply to that email, from that address.
If no Angler account uses the address you wrote from, we’ll tell you. If you signed in with Google or Apple, please write from the address that account uses. If we can’t confirm that the account is yours, we won’t change it.
How long it takes
We complete a confirmed request within 30 days. The result is the same as deleting in the app. We’ll email you when it’s done.
Signed in with Apple on Android
Angler on Android can’t confirm a Sign in with Apple account, so you can’t delete that account from the app on an Android phone. Instead, either:
- delete it in Angler on an iPhone (You → Delete account), which also removes Angler’s access to your Apple ID; or
- email info@cutthroatinnovations.com, as described in Ask us to delete your account by email.
Apple authorization revocation requires fresh Sign in with Apple confirmation. An email alone cannot provide it. We will direct you to the in-app Apple confirmation flow on an iPhone rather than claim Apple access has been revoked without that confirmation. The data-deletion policy is the same either way.
If you used Hide My Email when you signed in with Apple, please delete your account in Angler on an iPhone.
