Export your data

  1. Step 1: Open Data & privacy

    In the app, go to Settings → Data & privacy.

  2. Step 2: Prepare the export

    Under Export your data, click Prepare my export.

  3. Step 3: Download what you need

    Click Download account data (JSON) for a list of your documents, All originals (.zip) for every original file, or Download original next to a single file. The links work for one hour.

The export contains your original uploads, not the edited versions. To keep an edited version, download it from the editor before you delete anything.

Delete your account

  1. Step 1: Cancel an App Store subscription

    Go to Settings → Data & privacy and find Delete account.

  3. Step 3: Start the deletion

    Click Delete my account.

  4. Step 4: Confirm

What happens

  • Every document, version, export, signature request, form and response you own is deleted, with their stored files.
  • A plan billed on pdfbetter.com is canceled immediately, without a refund for the current period.
  • Unused purchased credits are lost.
  • Documents you signed for other people stay with their senders.
  • Evidence of completed signature requests you sent is kept for 7 years so the signers can still prove the agreement.

You can also ask us to access, correct, export, restrict or erase personal data by emailing [email protected]. See the privacy policy.

Can I get a refund before I delete?

If your first payment on pdfbetter.com was within the last 14 days, email support for a refund before you delete the account. Deleting cancels the plan without a refund.

Can I delete my account from the iPhone app?

Yes. In the app, open Account, tap Delete account and type DELETE to confirm. It deletes the same account everywhere.
