Delete your account

You can delete your Vela Athletics account and the data associated with it at any time - from inside the app, right here on this page, or by email.

Delete in the app

Deleting from the app is immediate and needs no email exchange. Sign in, then:

  1. Open the menu (the icon at the top left of the home screen) and tap Settings.
  2. Scroll to Account and tap Delete Account.
  3. Confirm with Yes, Delete My Account.

Your account is deleted right away. This cannot be undone, and you will need to create a new account to use Vela again.

Delete from this page

No app needed. Enter the email on your Vela account and we'll send a sign-in link to it. Opening that link brings you back here, signed in, to confirm the deletion.

Request deletion by email

If you cannot use the form above or the app - for example you no longer have access to the email on the account - send a deletion request and we will verify it with you:

Subject line: Delete my account

We confirm the request by replying to the email address on the account before anything is deleted, so a request from a different address cannot delete someone else's account. Once confirmed, the deletion is the same as the in-app one.

Response timeframe (counsel): how quickly a request is acknowledged and how long the deletion takes once confirmed, e.g. "We acknowledge requests within N business days and complete confirmed deletions within N days."

What is deleted

Deleting your account removes it and everything stored under it:

Retention (counsel): what, if anything, is retained after deletion and why - for example financial records kept for tax and accounting obligations, and content another user keeps because it is theirs (a coach's own notes are deleted with the coach; your trainer keeps nothing of yours once you delete).

Privacy

Privacy-policy sentence (counsel): one line pointing to the policy, e.g. "For everything else about how we handle your data, see our Privacy Policy." linking to privacy.html.
