You can delete your Free Your Music account at any time. In the web app, open Account settings and then Privacy and data. All your data is deleted from the app and from our servers, except data that the law requires us to keep, such as invoices for accounting. We keep that data only for the period the law sets.
Before you delete
- It cannot be undone. Your transfer history and your connected accounts are gone for good.
- A store subscription keeps running until you cancel it in the App Store or Google Play.
- Your music stays on your music services. Playlists and songs Free Your Music added are not removed from them.
- We can no longer find your purchase by email, because your email address is deleted too.
Cancel a store subscription first
- Bought on iPhone or iPad: cancel in your Apple Account subscriptions. See App Store subscriptions.
- Bought on Android: cancel in Google Play. See Google Play subscriptions.
- Bought on the website or in the web app: it stops when you delete your account. You can also cancel it first in the billing portal. See website purchases.
- Not sure where you bought it? Read cancel or change your subscription.
Delete your account in the web app
Delete your Free Your Music account in the web app
- Open freeyourmusic.com/app and sign in.
- Open the account menu at the top and choose Account settings.
- Open Privacy and data.
- In the "Delete account" section, click "Delete…".
- Read what goes and what stays. Type DELETE to confirm.
- Click "Delete for good". The app says "Your account is deleted."
If something goes wrong, the web app says "We could not delete the account. Try again." Try once more. If it keeps failing, write to us (see below).
Delete your account in the phone app
Delete your Free Your Music account in the iPhone or Android app
- Open Free Your Music and tap your avatar at the top right to open Account.
- Scroll down and tap "Delete account".
- Read what goes and what stays on the "Delete your account?" screen.
- Press and hold "Delete for good".
The phone app deletes the same account as the web app, and it also stops a subscription that you pay on our website. It reminds you that a subscription from the App Store or Google Play keeps running: cancel that in the store.
What is deleted?
All your data, from the app and from our servers:
- Your personal data, such as your email address.
- Your connected music accounts and their saved sign-ins.
- Your library and your transfer history.
- Your stats data and your public stats page, if you set one up.
- Your notification tokens and any notifications waiting to be sent to you.
- The local data of the app on the device you deleted from.
One exception: data that the law requires us to keep stays for the period the law sets. An example is the invoice of a purchase, which we must keep for accounting. We use it for nothing else, and we delete it when that period ends.
Do you use Free Your Music on more than one device?
Your account lives on our servers, so deleting it once deletes it for every device. A phone may still hold a few files of the app, such as a cache. To clear them, open Account, go to Privacy and data and choose "Clear the data on this phone", or uninstall the app. See reset app data.
What about the music services?
As the app tells you: "Your data from music services will NOT be deleted." Your playlists, liked songs and accounts at each service stay as they are. To also remove Free Your Music from a service, open its connected-apps or privacy settings and remove Free Your Music there.
Cannot open the app?
Write to support@freeyourmusic.com and ask us to delete your account. Send it from the email address of your Free Your Music account, or include your account ID or licence key, so we can find your account.
Frequently asked questions
Does deleting my account cancel my subscription?
It stops a subscription that you pay on our website at once, in the web app and in the phone app. It does not stop an App Store or Google Play subscription: cancel that in the store.
Will my playlists disappear from my music service?
No. Deleting your Free Your Music account does not touch your music services. Everything Free Your Music added stays there.
Can I get my account back after deleting it?
No. Deletion cannot be undone. You can install Free Your Music again and start as a new user.
Can I delete my account on the website?
Yes. Sign in to the web app and open Account settings, then Privacy and data. If you cannot sign in, write to support@freeyourmusic.com.
I only want to clear this device. What should I do?
In the phone app, open Account, go to Privacy and data and choose "Clear the data on this phone" instead. It removes what Free Your Music saved on the phone and signs you out, but keeps your account. See reset app data.
