Delete your Class of Happiness account

This page explains how to request deletion of your Class of Happiness account and data, what gets removed, what we're required to keep, and how long the process takes. This applies to teacher, parent, and school accounts, and to the student and family profiles managed within them.

How to request deletion

📧 Email us from the account's own email address

Send an email to jono@classofhappiness.com from the email address registered to the account.
Use the subject line: Account deletion request
Tell us which account or profile you'd like deleted (see below for who can request what).

Who can request deletion:

Teachers and parents can request deletion of their own account at any time.
Parents and guardians can request deletion of a child's profile linked to their account.
Schools can request deletion of school-managed classroom and student profiles.

What gets deleted

The account itself (login, email address, profile details)
All profile data (teacher, parent, student, and family member profiles associated with the account)
Check-in history (emotional check-ins, strategies used, comments)
Creature submissions — removed from community display within 30 days of the request, then permanently deleted from our systems

⚠️ What we keep, and why

A small amount of data is retained even after deletion, because we're legally required to or because it contains nothing personally identifiable:

Payment records — kept as required by applicable tax and financial regulations, regardless of account deletion.
Anonymised usage logs — kept for up to 24 months to help us maintain and improve the service. These logs contain no personal data and cannot be traced back to you or your child.

Timeline

We process deletion requests within 30 days of receiving them. You'll get a confirmation email once your data has been removed.

🧩 Want to delete only some of your data?

You don't have to close your whole account to remove specific data. For example, you can ask us to withdraw a submitted creature from community display, or remove a specific piece of check-in data, without deleting your account entirely. Request this the same way — email jono@classofhappiness.com with the subject Account deletion request and describe exactly what you'd like removed.
