This page explains how to delete your Original Pictures account (app by Original Pictures Technologies, Inc.) and the data associated with it. You can do this in the App, or by email if you no longer have the App installed.
Option 1 — Delete in the App
- Open Original Pictures and sign in.
- Go to your Profile → Settings → Account.
- Scroll to Danger zone and tap Permanently delete.
- Confirm. You will be signed out on all devices.
Want a copy of your data first? Go to Settings → Privacy & Diagnostics → Export my data before deleting.
Option 2 — Request deletion by email
Email info@original.pictures from the email address linked to your account, with the subject “Delete my account” and your username. If you signed up with Sign in with Apple using “Hide My Email”, send the request from your Apple ID email and include your username. We may ask you to confirm the request before we act on it. We complete email deletion requests — including erasure of all content listed below — within 30 days and confirm by email.
What is deleted
| Data | In-app deletion | Email request |
|---|---|---|
| Email address, username, password, linked Apple / Google sign-in | Removed immediately | Removed |
| Active sessions and sign-in tokens; Sign in with Apple authorisation | Revoked immediately | Revoked |
| Display name and profile photo | Not yet removed automatically — email us to have them erased | Erased within 30 days |
| Photos, captions, comments, likes and follows, and stored image files | Not yet removed automatically — email us to have them erased | Erased within 30 days |
| Registered device keys and attestation records | Retained (see below) | Erased within 30 days, except as below |
Important: in-app deletion currently removes your login and contact details right away but does not yet erase the content you posted. To make sure everything is erased, use Option 2 (you can do both). You can also delete individual photos and comments in the App at any time.
What we may keep
- Verification and audit records — append-only records that a given photo passed or failed authenticity checks are kept so previously issued verifications stay checkable and to prevent fraud. After erasure they are no longer linked to your email or username.
- Copies others have — photos you shared or that others downloaded (including the signed file and its embedded provenance data) are outside our control.
- Legal and safety records — information we must keep by law, or to investigate abuse, resolve disputes or enforce our Terms (for example, reports of child sexual exploitation), for as long as required.
- Backups — deleted data may remain in encrypted backups for up to 30 days before being overwritten.
- Purchase records — if you bought paid features, transaction records required for tax and accounting are kept for up to 7 years.
Prefer a break instead?
You can deactivate your account in Settings → Account. This hides your profile and posts from others and signs you out everywhere. Signing in again reactivates it.
Subscriptions
Deleting your account does not cancel subscriptions purchased through the App Store or Google Play. Cancel them in your Apple ID or Google Play settings first. See our Refund & Cancellation Policy.
