Deleting your data

Last updated 14 October 2026.

In the app

Open Settings, then choose Delete all alert data. This clears local alert history, delivered notifications and the app-icon badge. Saved places and air-quality readings stay on your device.

The app also asks the service to delete its device record, subscriptions, notification records and badge state. Online deletion is complete when the service confirms it. If you are offline or the service is unavailable, Settings shows that online deletion is pending. Keep the app installed and open it again when connected so it can retry using the credential held securely on your device.

By deleting the app

Uninstalling cannot confirm immediate server deletion. Inactive subscriptions and devices expire after 180 days without a check-in. Notification records expire after 90 days and delivery-attempt diagnostics after 21 days.

If you have already deleted the app

You can reinstall and check Settings. If the original device credential is still available in the iOS Keychain, Delete all alert data can authenticate the request. Otherwise, the inactive records expire under the limits above.

For help, write to contact@bushfiresmoke.au. We do not have an account, name or email associated with your device, so a date or platform alone cannot identify or authorise deletion of a particular device’s records. Never send your notification token or secret by email.

The website

There is nothing to delete. The site stores nothing about you, so there is nothing held to remove.
