In the app
Open Lytepen and go to Settings → Security & account → Delete Account. Type DELETE, confirm with your password (or with Google or Apple if you sign in with them), and your account is deleted straight away.
On the web
On a computer or tablet, sign in at app.lytepen.com and go to Settings → Security & account → Delete my account.
Without the app, or if you can't sign in
Email contact@lytepen.com from the email address on your account, with the subject “Delete my Lytepen account”. We confirm the account is yours, delete it within 30 days, and reply when it's done.
What is deleted
Your profile, posts, replies, reviews, highlights, messages, shelves, follows, reading history and progress, wallet balance and the books in your library. This can't be undone.
What is kept, and why
Payment records, such as wallet top-ups, purchases and writers' payouts, are kept for as long as tax and anti-fraud law requires, without your profile.
Moderation reports are kept, so a pattern of abuse doesn't disappear with one account.
Books you published stay readable for the readers who bought them, under the name “Deleted account”.
Copies may remain briefly in our backups until they are replaced.
Delete some of your data and keep your account
In the app or on the web you can delete your posts, replies, reviews, highlights, messages and shelves one by one, clear a chat, remove downloaded books from your device, and turn off contact discovery, which deletes the code made from your phone number.
For anything else, email contact@lytepen.com and tell us what you'd like deleted. We reply within 30 days.
