EFFECTIVE: MARCH 31, 2026|LAST UPDATED: MARCH 31, 2026

Account deletion is permanent and cannot be undone. If you are signed in to Gardens, use in-app account deletion from Settings.

Delete In App

1. Open Gardens and sign in to your account.

2. Go to Settings, then Account.

3. Select Delete Account and confirm.

Authenticated clients can delete the current account with: DELETE /users/:userId. The bearer token user ID must match the path user ID exactly.

curl -X DELETE "https://<worker-host>/users/<userId>" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <jwt>"

—Your user row and authentication artifacts (sessions, key packages, auth challenges)
—Group memberships, MLS membership records, bans, blocks, and invites created by your account
—Notifications addressed to you and notifications authored by your username
—All direct-message threads that include your account, plus DM messages in those threads
—All group messages authored by your account
—Any groups created by your account (full group cascade)
—Best-effort deletion of your avatar and avatars for groups you created in object storage

Message deletion removes attachment references. Historical attachment objects are not fully indexable for hard-delete today.

Full media eradication requires attachment object keys to be stored server-side and purged during account deletion.

If you cannot access the app, contact privacy@usegardens.com and include your account UUID.
