Yam's App
Score sheet
Delete my account
Two ways to do it: from the game, in a few seconds, or by email if you can no longer reach it.

From the game — the simplest way
These steps are the same on the theyamsapp.com website and in the Android app “Yam's App” (com.theyamsapp.app).
- Open the game and sign in, if you are not already.
- Tap the Settings icon (the cog, top right of the home screen).
- In the Account section, tap Delete my account.
- Confirm. It happens immediately and cannot be undone.
The button only appears when you are signed in: with no account there is nothing to delete, and your games already exist nowhere but in your browser.
What is erased
- your sign-in account (the linked Google account or email address);
- your saved games and your statistics;
- your challenge history attached to the account;
- the sign-in tokens kept on this device.
After deletion you can keep playing without an account, or open a new one later with the same address: it will be a new, empty account.
What remains, and how to have it removed
Lines already published in the standings. The nickname and score submitted to a Daily or Weekly Challenge stay on display: they are no longer attached to any account, but they continue to exist, because the weekly standings form the site's roll of honour.
They are removed on simple request, with no reason needed. Write to contact@theyamsapp.com and give:
- the nickname used, copied exactly as displayed;
- the date of the grid (Daily Challenge) or the week concerned (Weekly Challenge).
Games played with friends and family. An online game or a challenge between friends also belongs to the other participants: it is not erased when you delete your account. It becomes unreadable to everyone 14 to 15 days after the last visit, then is purged. Here too, a request is enough to make it happen sooner.
Data left in your browser (preferences, local games) depends on no account: clear it by wiping the site's data in your browser settings, or by uninstalling the app.
By email — if you can no longer reach the game
Uninstalled the app, lost access to your mailbox or to the Google account you used? Write to contact@theyamsapp.com with the subject “Account deletion request”, stating the email address (or Google account) you used to sign in.
Requests are handled as quickly as possible, and within one month at the latest, as the GDPR provides. You get a confirmation once it is done.
Write from the address concerned if you can: that is what shows the request really comes from you. Otherwise you will be asked a verification question — deleting someone else's account on a simple request would be the worst kind of protection.
