Privacy & data

Delete your Spotr data

Spotr does not require a user account. Your flights, spotting records, photos and achievement progress are primarily stored locally on your device. If you create a public share link, a copy of the information selected for that link is temporarily stored on Spotr's server.

You can remove both types of data yourself at any time: Delete all data removes your local app data, while Revoke Link removes the selected public share page and the data stored for that share.

Delete all local app data

Follow these six steps to remove the Spotr records stored on your device.

What this removes

Locally stored spotting records, flights, associated app data and achievement progress on that device. Deleting local data does not automatically revoke an existing public share link. Any active links should be revoked separately using the instructions below.

What Spotr stores

Spotr currently does not require or provide user accounts.

Data Where it is stored How to remove it

Data included in a public Spotr share Temporarily on Spotr's server Share Logbook → Active Links → Revoke Link, or allow the temporary link to expire

Spotr: Logbook does not currently use user accounts, so there is no separate account profile to delete.
