Data control includes the ability to leave
An app that organizes invoices, lists, and shopping history should not hide the exit path. If someone decides to stop using Gastify, they need a clear way to delete the account and understand what happens to the information connected to it.
The in-app account deletion flow addresses that need from the Profile area. In the data section, the user can choose “Eliminar cuenta”. The action is intentionally explicit and sensitive. It is not just a local cleanup: the app first attempts to delete the server-side account and associated data, then proceeds with local cleanup only when that remote step is safe to treat as complete.
Why the order matters
Deleting local data first would be easier technically, but worse for the user. If the remote deletion failed after the device had already been wiped, the user would lose the context needed to retry. Gastify avoids that shortcut: when the remote request fails, local data is preserved and the app surfaces an error so the user can check the connection and try again.
That behavior matters because it avoids a confusing half-finished state. The account should not be left in limbo because of a temporary network problem, and the user should not lose the ability to repeat the deletion flow.
What to expect when using it
From Profile, open the data section and choose the delete account action. The app asks for confirmation before continuing. If there is an active session, it asks the service to delete the account and related data. If the account is already gone, the flow can treat that as a valid end state. If a real error occurs, the app keeps local data in place so the user can retry.
An irreversible action deserves a calm flow
Deleting an account is not the same as signing out or pausing notifications. It is worth doing only when you are sure you no longer need the history, invoices, or lists tied to the account. Gastify makes the action findable in Profile, but keeps confirmation and error handling because privacy depends on clear processes, not hidden shortcuts.
