Delete your account

You can delete your Highwind account at any time, from the settings. Deletion is permanent: your account, your projects, your live apps and their data are erased, and nothing can be recovered afterwards.

Cannot be undone

Once confirmed, deletion can’t be undone: neither you nor the Highwind team can restore your projects. Read the Before you delete section first.

What gets erased

Item	What happens
Your account	Blocked right away, then erased (including your sign-in account). Your waitlist entry is erased too.
Your projects	All your projects, their messages, their version history, their screenshots and the images you added to them.
Your published apps	Taken offline right away: their ….highwind.site addresses become available again, then their files and live servers are deleted.
Your apps’ backends	Databases, your apps’ user accounts and their files are permanently deleted.
Requests in progress	Stopped right away.
Your connections	Every key saved on the Connectors page and in your projects’ secrets is erased.
Your Google account (Google Sheets)	Highwind’s access is revoked at Google, then its tokens are erased.
Your context sources (Notion, Linear, Figma, Kameleoon)	Tokens are revoked at the service when it allows it, then erased.
Your credits	Your balance and credit history are erased.

Erasure runs in the background and takes a few minutes.

What isn’t erased

• The Google Sheets spreadsheets created for your apps stay in your Google Drive, with their rows: delete them yourself if you want.
• Your keys at the services (Resend, Stripe, OpenAI…) stay valid there: Highwind erases its copy, but can’t disable them for you. Revoke them from each service if you no longer use them.
• Your Figma token and Kameleoon API credentials: delete them in Figma too (Settings → Security → Personal access tokens) and in Kameleoon if you no longer want them to exist.
• What you sent elsewhere: emails sent by your apps, payments collected on your Stripe account, data sent to a CRM stay with those services.

Before you delete

1. Download the code of the apps you want to keep: in each project’s editor, Download the code (.zip). It’s standard React, Vite and Tailwind that you can host elsewhere.
2. Retrieve your apps’ data if they have a backend: their users’ accounts and data will be deleted along with the database.
3. Let your apps’ users know if the apps are live: they will stop working right away.
4. Revoke your keys at outside services if you don’t use them elsewhere.

Only want to take an app down?

No need to delete your account: unpublish the app (Publish menu → Unpublish) or delete the project (Project settings → Danger zone → Delete project). To only remove access to Google or a context source, use Disconnect on the Connectors page.

Delete your account

1. Open Settings (click your name at the bottom of the sidebar → Settings), then the Account section.
2. In the Danger zone, click Delete my account.
3. Read the Delete your account? message: “Everything will be permanently erased: projects, versions, live apps (taken offline right away), databases and their users’ accounts. This cannot be undone.”
4. In the Type your email address to confirm field, enter your account’s address.
5. Click Delete.

You’re signed out and taken to the sign-in page, which shows: “Your account is being deleted. All your data will be erased within a few minutes.”

Good to know

• Backups: erased data also disappears from Highwind’s technical backups, after a delay stated in the privacy policy.
• Coming back later: deleting your account also erases your waitlist entry. During the private beta, access is by invitation.
• Right to erasure: deleting your account from the settings is the fastest way to exercise this right. For any other request about your data, write to rgpd@highwind.app. See Privacy.
