Delete Your FieldScan Account
Last updated: July 19, 2026
This page explains how to delete your FieldScan account — the barcode scanning and inventory app published by Nevena Miljanovic — and what happens to your data when you do. It applies to the FieldScan mobile apps (iOS and Android) and the web dashboard at app.fieldscan.dev.
Option 1 — Delete in the mobile app
- Open FieldScan and sign in.
- Go to Profile (tap your avatar / account icon).
- Tap Delete Account.
- Confirm the two-step prompt. Deletion is then scheduled.
Option 2 — Delete from the web dashboard
- Sign in at app.fieldscan.dev.
- Open Profile and expand the Danger Zone section.
- Type DELETE to confirm, then submit. Deletion is then scheduled.
Option 3 — Request deletion by email
If you can no longer access the app (for example, you have uninstalled it or cannot sign in), email support@fieldscan.dev from the address associated with your account and ask us to delete it. We will verify your identity and process the request.
Delete specific data without deleting your account
You do not have to delete your whole account to remove data. Inside the app you can:
- Delete individual scan records — open a scan and choose delete; this removes its barcode value, name, category, notes, quantity, and GPS tag.
- Remove a photo from a scan without deleting the scan itself.
- Clear an optional field (such as a note or location) by editing the scan.
To request removal of other specific data while keeping your account, email support@fieldscan.dev and describe what you would like removed. Deleted scan data is removed immediately from your account; residual copies in encrypted backups are purged within 90 days.
What happens after you request deletion
Deletion is scheduled with a 30-day grace period. During those 30 days you can sign back in and choose Cancel deletion to keep your account. After the grace period ends, your account and its associated data are permanently deleted and cannot be recovered.
What data is deleted
When deletion completes, we permanently remove:
- Your account and login credentials (email, authentication identifiers).
- Your profile (username / display name, settings).
- Your scan records (barcode values, names, categories, notes, quantities, GPS tags).
- Any scan photos you uploaded.
- Your push-notification token and notification preferences.
- Your team memberships and any scans you shared with, or that were shared with, you.
What data may be retained, and for how long
- During the 30-day grace period: your data is retained so you can cancel and restore the account.
- Backups & logs: residual copies in encrypted system backups and security logs are purged on a rolling basis and are fully removed within 90 days.
- Legal records: where we are legally required to keep certain records (for example, to comply with tax or fraud-prevention obligations), we retain only the minimum necessary for the period required by law.
Automatic deletion of inactive free accounts
Separately from any request, free-tier accounts that stay inactive are cleaned up automatically. We send a warning email at about 3.5 months of inactivity, and permanently purge the account at 4 months (120 days) of inactivity with no activity. Paid accounts are never purged for inactivity.
