This page explains how to delete your MinteCalc data, your optional sign-in reference, and any associated access. It applies to the MinteCalc app on both Android (Google Play) and iOS (App Store).

What Data Exists, and Where

MinteCalc does not create username/password accounts and has no servers of its own — we store nothing ourselves. Your calculations, notes, and settings never leave your control. If you use the optional Backup & Restore feature and sign in with Google, Google keeps a minimal sign-in reference on its own infrastructure (see Step 3).

Data Type	Where It’s Stored	Who Controls It
Calculations, notes, settings	Your device (local storage)	You
Backup data (optional)	Your Google Drive (appDataFolder)	You
Sign-in reference (email, name, profile photo URL, user ID)	Google’s Firebase Authentication — never on MinteCalc servers (we don’t operate any)	You — removed in-app via “Delete Data & Sign Out” (see Step 3)
Google credentials (password)	Google’s servers (OAuth)	Google
Payment info	Apple App Store / Google Play Store	Apple/Google
Purchase entitlement record (anonymous ID + receipt)	RevenueCat	Us via RevenueCat — deletable on request

Who Needs to Do What?

Users Who Never Signed In with Google

If you have never signed in with Google for Backup & Restore, MinteCalc has no cloud data and no sign-in reference associated with you. Your data exists only on your device.

To delete your data: Simply clear the app’s storage or uninstall MinteCalc (see Step 2 below).

Users Who Signed In with Google (Backup & Restore)

If you have signed in with Google, two things exist: your backup data (in your own Google Drive) and a sign-in reference (in Firebase Authentication). Steps 1 and 3 below cover both.

Step 1: Delete Your Google Drive Backup Data (In-App)

If you used the Backup & Restore feature, MinteCalc stores backup data in your Google Drive application data folder (appDataFolder). This folder is hidden and not visible in your regular Google Drive file list.

How to Delete:

1. Open MinteCalc
2. Navigate to Settings → Backup & Restore
3. Tap “Delete Data & Sign Out” (at the bottom of the screen) and confirm

What Happens:

✅ Your MinteCalc backup file(s) are permanently deleted from your Google Drive appDataFolder
✅ Your sign-in reference (email, name, profile photo URL, user ID) is permanently removed from Google’s Firebase Authentication (see Step 3)
✅ You are signed out of Google within MinteCalc
✅ Deletion is immediate — it happens instantly via Google’s infrastructure

Note: After signing out, backup/restore features will be unavailable until you sign in again. An internet connection is required for this step.

Step 2: Delete Local App Data (On Your Device)

The “Delete Data & Sign Out” button removes your cloud backup and signs you out, but it does not remove local app data stored on your device.

To Completely Delete Local Data:

Option A: Clear App Storage (keeps app installed)

• Android: Go to Settings → Apps → MinteCalc → Storage → “Clear Storage” or “Clear Data”
• iOS: Go to Settings → General → iPhone Storage → MinteCalc → “Delete App” (note: “Offload App” keeps your data)

Option B: Uninstall the App (complete removal)

• Uninstall MinteCalc from your device
• This removes all local data including calculations, notes, and settings

Note: Exact menu wording may vary by device manufacturer and OS version.

Step 3: Delete Your Sign-In Reference (Google Firebase)

MinteCalc has no servers of its own and stores nothing itself. When you use “Sign in with Google,” Google’s Firebase Authentication service keeps a minimal sign-in reference — your email address, display name, profile photo URL, and a unique user ID — on Google’s infrastructure, purely so you stay signed in between app launches. We never see your password, and this reference is never used for anything else.

This reference is removed automatically when you tap “Delete Data & Sign Out” (Step 1) — no further action is needed.

You can also request removal by email at any time, without needing the app installed:

• Email: support@mintecalc.com
• Subject: MinteCalc account deletion request
• Include: the Google account email you used to sign in

We will remove the sign-in reference — and the anonymous purchase-entitlement reference held by RevenueCat, if any — within 30 days, and confirm by reply.

Deleting the sign-in reference never affects your Pro purchase: entitlements are tied to your app-store account and can always be restored with “Restore Purchases.”

Step 4: Remove MinteCalc’s Access to Your Google Account (Optional)

To additionally revoke MinteCalc’s Google account access (the OAuth permission itself):

1. Visit: https://myaccount.google.com/permissions
2. Find MinteCalc
3. Select Remove access

Revoking access also deletes the hidden appDataFolder contents on Google’s side, per Google Drive’s app-data policy.

Data We Retain After Deletion

• Purchase records at the app stores are controlled by Apple/Google and their retention rules; we cannot delete these.
