Before deleting your account, please note the following: if you're on a paid subscription, deleting your account won't cancel this subscription automatically. Make sure to first cancel any active subscription you might have, by following the steps illustrated here.
Important: Deleting your account without canceling your subscription may result in continued charges, as the two processes are not linked. To avoid unwanted renewals, identify the platform (Blinkist website, Apple App Store, or Google Play Store) where your subscription was initiated and ensure its cancellation as per the platform's guide.
How to Cancel Your Subscription
If you are considering account deletion but want to cancel your paid subscription first, follow these steps tailored to the purchase platform:
Blinkist Website: Under your account settings, locate the subscription management section and cancel your subscription.
Apple App Store: Open the App Store, navigate to 'Subscriptions', find Blinkist, and cancel the subscription.
Google Play Store: Access 'Subscriptions' in Google Play, locate Blinkist, and complete the cancellation. This ensures that no further charges occur after deciding to delete your account.

Please note that we may be legally obliged under tax and commercial law to retain certain accounting-related information (in particular invoices). Furthermore, we also store your deletion request and our response (if you have requested the account deletion from our customer support) to fulfil our documentation obligations for three years. It may therefore not currently be possible for us to delete all your data. However, we only store the remaining data to fulfil our legal obligations. Once these periods have expired, we will delete your remaining data immediately without you having to ask us to do so again.
