Delete your account and data
Last updated 21 September 2026
You can delete your Gjafalisti account, or just individual lists, at any time – in the app or on the web, without asking anyone.
Delete your account
1. Open gjafalisti.is/en/account (or the “Account” tab in the app) and sign in.
2. At the bottom of “My account”, choose “Delete my account” and confirm.
Your account is deleted immediately and you are signed out.
Delete a single list
Open the list, go to “Delete list” at the bottom and choose “Delete the list”. The list, its gifts, the photos you added and guests’ reservations are gone immediately.
A list made without an account belongs only to the browser that made it. It is deleted the same way, from that browser.
What is deleted
Your email address, your password (stored encrypted), your language and every list only you looked after: names, dates, greetings, gifts, photos you took, bank details for cash gifts, and guests’ reservations on those lists.
A shared list that someone else looks after with you is not deleted – it passes to them, so their gift list does not disappear.
What is kept
None of the above is kept after deletion. Database backups are cleared within 30 days.
Guests who reserved a gift and want their name removed can choose “Cancel reservation” on the list.
