Delete your account and data

This page explains how to delete the data that the Sanasauna app (Huotari OÜ) stores on the server. The app has no account and no sign-in: the server data is linked only to the phone's random device identifier. Sanasauna can also be played entirely without internet.

In the app

  1. Open Sanasauna and choose Settings (in the Finnish app: Asetukset).
  2. Choose Account and sync (Tili ja synkronointi).
  3. Choose Delete account (Poista tili) and confirm by choosing Delete (Poista).

The button is shown when sync is in use. Delete your data before you uninstall the app. Deletion is permanent.

What is deleted

Deletion removes from the server:

  • the phone's device identifier and public key
  • the phone's game progress, results (including the result summaries of party games it hosted), balances, purchase events, usage statistics and session tokens.

A new device identifier and key pair are created on the phone, so new data cannot be connected to the deleted data.

Puzzle and hint packs are one-off purchases, so they cannot be restored after deletion. The balance already on the phone stays.

What stays

  • On the phone: the puzzles, game progress and balances already available stay until you uninstall the app. The phone's own backups (for example iCloud or Google) may contain the app's data, depending on the phone's settings.
  • Purchase records: deletion does not remove Apple's, Google's or RevenueCat's own purchase records. You can ask us by email to delete your data at RevenueCat.
  • Other hosts' result summaries: if you played in a party game that someone else hosted, the result summary their phone sent may contain your nickname. It is deleted when that phone's data is deleted.
  • Server logs: they hold no device identifier and are kept only for the retention period in the privacy policy.

When the data is deleted

When you confirm in the app, the data is deleted from the server at once and cannot be restored. The server database is not backed up to a separate service.

By email

You can send a deletion request to sanasauna@huotari.ai, and we reply within one month. Because there is no account, we cannot tell from an email which server data is yours, so please use the deletion option in the app.

How data is processed and how long it is kept is described in the privacy policy.
