Privacy

Every delete button, explained: a chat, a profile, your readings, or everything

Deletion should come in sizes. Sometimes one conversation went somewhere too personal; sometimes a birth profile belongs to someone who asked you to remove it; sometimes you want the whole history gone but the account kept. CelestKin has a separate lever for each, and none of them are hidden behind support email. Here is each one, with what actually happens underneath.

Delete one chat

Every conversation in your chat list carries its own delete control, and both the bin icon and the swipe gesture ask for the same confirmation, so one stray swipe never destroys anything. Confirm, and the server does not just hide the thread: it overwrites the message content, the preview text, the title, and the summary, and drops any image references. Photos you attach in chat were already never stored; deletion removes the conversation text too. What remains is an empty archived shell with no words in it.

Delete one birth profile

You can hold charts for family and friends, which means you hold data about people who can change their minds. Delete Profile lists every profile on the account; the list scrolls, so the eighteenth profile is as deletable as the first. Removing one takes its birth details and every reading generated for it, from the device and from your cloud history. If you delete the profile you were actively using, the app hands everything (chat, dashboard, charts) to your next profile instead of pointing at a ghost.

Clear all readings

The middle size: keep the account, keep the profiles, erase the history. Clear All Readings in the same section wipes every saved reading across all profiles after one confirmation. Useful before lending your phone, or when you want the archive to start from today.

Delete the account

We rebuilt this flow to be three steps, not a maze: see exactly what will be deleted (with a one-tap export link if you want your data first), verify it is really you, then hold the red button for three seconds. That hold is the confirmation; there is no word to type and no second submit button. Guests skip verification entirely, since possessing the session is the proof. Signed-in accounts verify with their password or provider, and people who sign in by email link get a 6-digit code by email. Deletion runs as a server-side sweep across every table that stores your data, on the schedule published in our Privacy Policy. The sweep is covered by its own automated tests, and it works for accountless guest sessions exactly as it does for signed-in users. No retention tricks, no seven-screen cancellation maze.

The principle

A delete button is a promise about the server, not about the screen. Each of these four removes data at the source, not just from view, and each pairs with the export so you never have to choose between keeping your history and exercising your rights. If any of them ever behaves differently than described here, tell us at [email protected] and we will fix the code or fix this article, whichever is lying.
