Delete your account · Makan · Effective 09 NOV 2026 · Version 1

Delete your account

You can delete your Makan account from inside the app, or by email if you no longer have the app. Deletion takes effect 30 days after you ask. This page explains what is removed and what is kept.

1 Delete your account in the app

Profile, then Settings, then Account Management, then Delete Account.

  1. Open the Profile tab and tap Settings.
  2. Tap Account Management, then Delete Account.
  3. Choose what happens to your posts: keep them on Makan without your name, or delete them.
  4. Confirm.

2 The 30-day wait

Your account is deleted 30 days after you confirm.

After you confirm, your account is scheduled for deletion 30 days later. This gives you time to change your mind. To cancel, email manjeerahmed@straitstone.sg before the deletion date, from the email address on your account.

If you signed in with Apple, Makan’s access to your Apple ID is revoked as soon as you confirm. You can still cancel by email; you’ll just need to sign in with Apple again.

3 What is deleted

Your name, email address, photo and sign-in go either way. Your posts go only if you choose to delete them.

If you keep your posts on Makan without your name:

  • your name, email address, profile photo and avatar are removed, and your profile is renamed “Deleted User”;
  • your posts stay on Makan, credited to “Deleted User”;
  • your sign-in is deleted, so nobody can sign in to the account again.

If you delete your posts:

  • your posts and their photos are deleted. The photos are removed within 30 days after your account is deleted;
  • your likes, comments, saved posts and stalls, follows and notifications are deleted;
  • your profile and your sign-in are deleted.

4 What is kept

A few records, kept without your name, or kept for a limited purpose.

  • Votes. Votes you cast stay in the rankings, because removing them would change other dishes’ scores. They are no longer linked to your name or email address.
  • Stalls and corrections. Stalls you added stay on Makan.
  • A record of the deletion. We keep a record that the account was deleted, including the email address it used, so we can show that we carried out the request and prevent abuse.
  • Reports and moderation records, for as long as we need them to handle disputes.
  • Crash reports and usage statistics, which aren’t linked to your name, expire on their own after 90 days and 14 months respectively.

5 If you don’t have the app

Email us from the address on your account.

Email manjeerahmed@straitstone.sg from the email address you use for Makan, with the subject “Delete my Makan account”. Tell us whether to keep your posts on Makan without your name, or delete them.

We’ll reply to that address to confirm that the request is yours. After you confirm, we delete the account in the same way as the app, and the 30-day wait in section 2 applies.

6 Deleting some data without deleting your account

You don’t have to delete everything.

  • A post: open it, delete it from its menu, and it moves to Recently Deleted for 30 days before it’s deleted for good.
  • Your profile details: change or remove them in Edit Profile.
  • Anything else, such as a comment or a stall you added: email manjeerahmed@straitstone.sg and tell us what to delete.
