Delete your ResearchSomeone data
ResearchSomeone (researchsomeone.com and the ResearchSomeone Android app) is operated by the SOMEONE team. You sign in with your SOMEONE account, but ResearchSomeone keeps your research in its own separate database. Deleting your ResearchSomeone data does not delete your SOMEONE account, and deleting your SOMEONE account does not by itself delete your ResearchSomeone data — use one of the options below.
On the website
Sign in at researchsomeone.com → Credits & billing, scroll to Delete my ResearchSomeone data, type DELETE and confirm. If you have an active ResearchSomeone Plus subscription, cancel it first with Manage billing on the same page.
In the Android app
Open Account and choose Delete my ResearchSomeone data. You can also delete individual projects at any time from your project list.
Without the app or website
Email privacy@followsomeone.com with the subject “Delete my ResearchSomeone data” from the email address of your SOMEONE account. We confirm the request with that address before deleting, and complete it within 30 days.
What is deleted
Deletion happens immediately and cannot be undone:
- all your research projects, with their sources, people and profiles, claims, timeline, notes, report snapshots and saved assistant answers;
- every file you uploaded (removed from private storage);
- your recent searches and candidate reviews, and assistant usage records;
- your sign-in sessions on the web and in the app (you are signed out everywhere).
What is kept, and for how long
- Payment and credit records (amounts, dates, credit balances and opaque payment references — never research contents) are kept as long as required for accounting, tax and dispute purposes. Unused credits are forfeited when you delete your data.
- Security audit events (event names only, such as “project deleted”) expire automatically after 90 days.
- Reports you sent us about misuse or privacy are kept for safety review.
- Our database provider keeps point-in-time recovery history for up to 30 days; after that, deleted data cannot be recovered.
Your SOMEONE account
Your SOMEONE profile is managed by FollowSomeone; to delete it, see followsomeone.com/delete-account. The shared SOMEONE sign-in (your sign-in email and passkeys) is removed automatically once no SOMEONE product still has data for you: after you delete your ResearchSomeone data, it is deleted if you have no SOMEONE profile and no ShareSomeone data; otherwise it is kept so you can still sign in to them.
