Data deletion

Teko · Last updated: 17 August 2026

In Teko, deletion is carried out by the user, within the application, with no request required and no waiting period. This page describes the scope of each option and provides guidance for users who have already uninstalled the application.

How to delete from the application

Open Settings › Data and privacy › Privacy and your data. Three levels of deletion are offered, and each requires a confirmation word to be typed before execution.

1. Delete training history

Removed: training sessions, sets, loads and repetitions, GPS runs and recorded routes, together with the progression derived from them.

Retained: profile, plan, check-ins and wellbeing records.

2. Delete application data

Removed: all data processed by Teko, including profile, workouts, plans, check-ins, wellbeing, measurements, supplements, cycle, preferences and conversations with the assistant. The application returns to its initial state, equivalent to a fresh install.

Retained: the device's local identity — the name entered, the profile photo, where one has been set, and the preference to require unlock on open. That is what allows the application to identify the user when starting over. To remove these items as well, use option 3.

3. Delete all data

Removed: all items from the previous option, together with the name entered, the profile photo and any scheduled reminders.

Retained: no user data. Only the key that encrypts the database remains, held in the operating system's secure store: it then protects an empty database and is removed when the application is uninstalled.

What lies outside Teko's reach

The three options above cover Teko's data. Two sets fall outside, as they do not belong to the application:

Health Connect. Teko only reads from that repository and never writes to it; Android allows an application to delete only the records it has written itself. When data is erased, Teko revokes the authorisations — which stops the reading, without removing what Health Connect stores. To erase those records, use the Health Connect app, under Permissions and data › Delete data.
Backup files already generated. A .tekobak package exported by the user remains wherever they saved or sent it, and its deletion is theirs to carry out.
The subscription. Erasing Teko's data — and uninstalling the app too — does not cancel the subscription and does not stop billing: it belongs to your Google Account, not to the application. Cancel it under your Google Play subscriptions. See Subscription and billing.

Application already uninstalled

No action is required. Teko is local-first and keeps no copy of user data on any server: uninstalling removes the encrypted database along with the application. There is no account to close, as the application creates no login, and no server holding the user's history.

Timing and reversibility

Deletion is immediate and permanent. There is no grace period, no recovery area and no cloud copy to restore from, and the controller has no means of recovering the data. To preserve the history before deletion, an encrypted backup may be created in Settings › Data and privacy › Backup and restore; the file is protected by a password known only to the user.

Data not covered by these actions

Records that do not belong to Teko remain under the management of those who hold them:

Data in Health Connect belongs to the user's device and is only read by Teko. Deletion must be carried out in Health Connect itself.
Purchase and installation records kept by Google Play.

Support

If deletion cannot be completed from the application, the user may write to tekoappsuporte@gmail.com describing the situation. A response is provided within 15 days, as required by the LGPD.
