Free account deletion page generator for Google Play

If your app lets people create an account, anywhere in the app, Google Play requires two things:

1. An in-app path to delete the account and its data, typically in account settings.
2. A web link where users can request deletion without reinstalling the app. That is the delete account URL you declare in Play Console, and users can reach it from your store listing.

Google announced the rule in April 2023. Developers had until December 7, 2023 to complete the data deletion questions, with extensions available until May 31, 2024. Today it is simply part of publishing an app with accounts.

Deactivating or freezing the account doesn't count. Deletion means the account and the data attached to it, on your servers and at the providers you use, except what you have a disclosed reason to keep.

This account deletion page generator handles the web part. The in-app part is code you write.

Google's requirements for the web page are short and specific. Here they are, with what the generated page does for each:

The page also lists what is deleted (the account and profile, content created in the app, and usage data if you answered yes to analytics), what may be kept (records the law requires, anonymous statistics), and a timeframe of 30 days with a confirmation by email. Google requires you to disclose any data you keep and to handle requests within a reasonably quick period, so check that both match what you actually do.

If people must do something first, such as cancelling a subscription, add that step. And give the generator an inbox someone reads: a way to request deletion only counts if somebody answers it.

The link goes in Play Console, on the App content page, in the Data safety form, when you answer the data deletion questions.

Before you paste it, three checks:

• Open it in a private window, on a phone. No login, no cookie wall covering the page, no 404.
• Make sure the app name on the page matches your store listing.
• Use the same retention wording as your privacy policy. If one says 30 days and the other says 90, fix one of them.

Hosted on AppTap, the page lives at apptap.me/yourapp/delete-account, next to your privacy policy, terms and support pages. The URL stays fixed while you edit the text, and the page opens in English or French depending on the visitor's language.

App Store Connect has no field for a deletion URL. Guideline 5.1.1(v), enforced since June 30, 2022, says that if your app supports account creation, it must also offer account deletion within the app. A web page does not satisfy that rule on its own.

What App Review looks for:

• A delete option inside the app, easy to find, usually in account settings.
• Real deletion, not deactivation, of the account and its associated personal data.
• No email, phone call or support chat as the way to delete, unless your app is in a highly regulated field such as banking or healthcare.
• A hand-off to a website only if it lands on the page where deletion is completed, not on a homepage or on a page that asks people to send an email.

So the page you generate here covers Google's web requirement, not Apple's. On iOS, your delete button has to start the deletion itself. Build it once against your backend and the same button also covers Google's in-app path.

No accounts, no deletion URL: the requirement only applies when people can create an account. You still answer the data deletion questions in the Data safety form, and your privacy policy should explain how data can be removed.

If you answer "no" to accounts in the generator, the page says so plainly: there is no account to delete, and here is how to clear the app's data on the device. It's a useful page to point to from your support page when someone asks.

For a side-by-side look at both stores' rules, read the Google Play account deletion URL guide. The deletion page pairs with a privacy policy and a support page, all under one AppTap link that's free for one app: get started.
